CK: Annette Hardy Album Class

These pages are from a CK album class that Heidi and I took this past April. Annette Hardy was the instructor and she made the class so much fun! She's a nut! We always enjoy the Thursday album classes. I have a few pages from this class that I need to finish up yet!

These are photos from the Get Inspired event that I attended last November with Heidi and a great group of gals. We are registered and already looking forward to going again this November!!

Legacy Arts

These are class kits from Legacy Arts. I have a love hate relationship with these kits, lol! They are very detailed. I have to actually put them together in silence so that i really am focused on the cutting and placement or i'm liable to screw something up. But when they are done and all put together i love them!

Strictly Scrapbooking CK Class

I always enjoy taking classes from Sophia at Strictly Scrapbooking when we attend the CK Convention. I have some journaling left to do on a few of these.

I'm waiting for the companion kit to come so that i can complete the 2nd page for each of these layouts.

First Day of School

I'm not a chronological scrapbooker so these pages were completed and photographed in a random manner. I waited to post them until I was at least up to date. I finished 2008 earlier this week and 2013 just this morning, after I dropped the kids off at school for their first day. They always complain a little bit about first day pictures. As if it's hard to just stand there and smile a bit. I try to make it easy and not fuss about it too much but but they still manage to give me a hard time. It's the game we play. 

Without further ado here are the layouts I created to commemorate Daniel & Waverly's first days of school 2002 to 2013.....

Creating Keepsakes Convention 2011 St. Louis

These pages are all from a Scrapbook Generation kit (I love them!!). This was the first year Heidi and I went to St. Louis for convention. As expected we had a GREAT time. And I'm excited to think that as I type this we are getting ready to go again in just a couple weeks.

 

Project Life: Weeks 1 through 11

I started Project Life 2013 with the idea that I was going to use what I had on hand. I have a remarkable stash of scrapbooking gear: papers, buttons, ribbon, ink, stamps, embellishments, stickels, glitter, glue, pens, markers, stickers, brads, die cuts...I could go on and one. Anyone who's been in my craft room (i.e. the basement) knows this is a fact. However after a few weeks I realized how hard I was working trying to fit my photos into the spots I had. While I love the Lickety Split 9x12 page protectors (with their flips and what not) I realize they weren't practical for this application. I needed a more uniformed layout. One I could count on every week. So I caved and bought Becky Higgins true Project Life pages and it's been smooth sailing every since. Not to mention my logical, square, clean line eye much prefers the consistent layout.
