I just can't stop using this stuff! The colors are so peppy & fun. . .they just put a smile on my face.
I used them on the layout I finished last night. I'm on a scrapbooking roll I tell ya! : ) I'm feeling real inspired by the It's All About Me Challenge blog. Today I read a comment by a woman that has completed 3 whole albums -all about her! I got to thinking. . .shoot, I better get busy! This layout about me is only the second layout of just me -ever! I think that I only found a total of 4 or 5 pictures of me on my computer to work with. . .ouch! I better change that too! : )
Anyway, here are a few shots. I'm still working on getting them photographed well. . .sorry.
The layout reads:
10 reasons why I love the river:
1. it's really a lake
2. nice cool water to swim & play in
3. the sound of a boat's engine
4. the smell of Hawaiian Tropic lotion
5. skiing - tubing - & boat riding
6. little blue dragonflies
7. river juice - a.k.a. grown-up drinks
8. barbeque on the beach
9. fond childhood memories
PRICELESS enjoying our time as a family
This was a lot of fun to make. I think the picture is funny. . .with sand and tons of sunblock caked all over my face! -I'm such a dork! : ) I really enjoyed the whole process of creating this layout. I even REALLY LIKE the accomplishment I felt after hand-stiching on the page! I'm telling you. . .after scrapping the previous layout with Chase in it. . .and having a seriously good cry. . .I have a new - or renewed drive/passion for this beloved hobby. -Thank you It's All About Me Challenge!!!! (They issued the challenge which made me seriously think about what I would wish for. . .hence, the Chase layout)
**O.K. I think I'm gonna go work on a few cards. . .can't let any of these valuable 'scraps' go to waste! : )
