I have been unable to update since my laptop died! For some reason my desk top wont let me view blogs, even my own! Now i have mobile internet so hopefully i can start updating again. I havent yet tried to upload pix yet but i think it will work! I have done a lot of scrapping since my last update. I am currently working on something top secret so wont be posting those pages yet. :)

Happy scrapping!

Age Seven

Today I did this page and I say I was 7 but to be honest I'm not 100% sure, but somewhere around there! These were taken at a park in Prescott, AZ. The journaling isn't about the pictures, but about the fact that we now lived there.

Summertime

I'm so not loving this page!

There was a "splatter" challenge which meant we had to splatter paint somewhere.. I did it as my background but I don't think I used the right kind of paint and it came out so gloppy and weird! Well it's all downhill from there.

But oh well! This page is about our summers spent in Arkansas visiting my dad. Unfortunately I don't have many pictures so this is all there is!

Worlds Best Grandpa

Today I scrapped a page about my amazing Grandpa! When we were young, he was so good to us. He always spent time with us playing games or whatever we wanted. He waited at the table for me because I ate too slow and everyone else was done, but he waited so I wouldn't have to eat alone. He was a musician- he had a whole room full of instruments of all kinds. It was always fun at his house! That's what this page talks about.

He passed away in 2002, but we'll save that for another page.

I also did a card for one of my best friends little girl who's about to turn 4! Of course I forgot to take the picture before writing on the card! Oh well!

Cards galore!

I made a whole bunch of cards in the past couple weeks. Here's most of them. :)

Kindergarten, First grade & more

I've been super busy lately, but there is always at least a little time for scrapbooking! I write this from my MILs house. I did all these pages last week some time.

This first one was for a "cutout" challenge. As you can see, I cut my dog out of the picture. I did it pretty quick style, but I like it. :)

Now going back in time to my childhood album. When I was 4-5 all my friends were boys!

I was really excited about this page! I remembered that my Kindergarten teacher had put together a book for her students of all their work over the year. It included pictures, the Student Of The Week questionairre, progress reports, and much more! I was able to pull a lot of info, and all the pictures for this page!

I like the way this one came out because it's something I've never done before. With so many different patterns and the grid look & all. It started from a sketch but ended up pretty different.

Mother's Day 1990

I only got one page done today. Mother's Day 1990 when we took my Grandma on a plane tour over Sedona. I've been wanting to try this border technique. I took a hole punch to a blue peice of paper, about an inch in and punched away! Then I cut along the holes creating this edge.

Then I made my first attempt at inking. I dapped TP in an ink pad and dabbed it all over the blue border. It didn't come out exactly how I had planned, but it was my first attempt and it looks alright.
