Scrapbook Generation: My new favorite site!!!
I came across Scrapbook Generation on Pinterest and quickly fell in love with their style. They have a ton of good ideas and information out there. (Don't click on their link until you can spare a few hours to really dig through their web sites and online store, I'm just saying.) It didn't take me long to place an order with them and sign up for a couple of their monthly kit clubs. I have since completed two of the four kits I initially ordered, you can see those below. That speaks volumes to me. I was a member of Studio Calico for a couple years and I probably have 20 brown paper bags down stairs piled up. Kits I've never used yet. Now I have every intention of using them, I just felt like I had no direction with their kits. SC is a GREAT company and they put together amazing products but I need direction. I'm so happy to have found Scrapbook Generation!

Random Pages
Just a few random pages I've finished the past few months.
Social Hour Cosmo Cricket. Perfect for Magic Mike night!
Fancy Pants: This was originally a page kit but I threw caution to the wind and used a layout from CTMH instead! Crazy I know! This was me recycling years and years of Creating Keepsakes, Memory Makers, Rubber Stamper, Simple Scrpabooks magazines among other crafty publications. Dan was pissed because we had just moved all these boxes only months earlier, only to now be throwing them out. I tried to explain that i had to get rid of them in my own time, lol!
This was a kit but I'll be darned if I can remember where it came from.

scrapbook pages
Here are just a few random pages that I've finished this year.
This one is from a CKC class I took in 2011: Material Girl from CK. I normally would not do this much stitching on a page but I am glad i took the time to finish this layout.
This is one of my favorite layouts. I love the white space and the mixed font stickers. I have every intention of using this layout again.
Embellish It! 2011 Latest & Greatest with Basic Grey
These are from Basic Grey page kits. (purchased from Embellish It! of course)
The black mat on the right page is awaiting a photo that I have to get printed yet.
No explanation needed here....
Echo Park. I know this is from a 2011 class but I can't for the life of me remember which one.
These are pages I created from photos of our very first Creating Keepsakes Convention in Des Moines in 2010. The 2nd layout shows Heidi and Kelly Purkey. It was the first time we got to meet her. I took her Life's Lyrics class in 2010 (i don't quite have that mini album done, but soon i will and you'll be the first to see it!)
We had so much fun while we were in Des Moines that year. Fong's was packed so we sat at the counter by the window. Of course being with Heidi I can always look forward to making new friends. We enjoyed visiting with the guys sitting at the counter with us.

Halloween scrapbook pages
I use to love Halloween. I mean, I still love Halloween it's just different now that I'm not planning elaborate costumes every year for the kids.
All the credit for these costumes goes to my friend Steph who put them together for Dan and his 2nd cousin Lily. They got quite a lot of attention as they trick or treated through College Square Mall in 2000.
My friend Bev made Waverly's monarch costume in 2002. She was a beautiful butterfly. Those wings and the tulle skirt were amazing. To say Dan loved his Spiderman costume would be an understatement. I specifically recall a morning a few weeks after Halloween. Dan came downstairs dressed for preschool in pants and a long sleeved shirt and I noticed something sticking out from his collar. He had put on his Spiderman suit underneath his clothes. That memory still makes me laugh.
2003 and 2004 were kind of slow years for us. Nothing too fancy. Waverly was a butterfly again in 2004 but a little more low key. Dan was Harry Potter, scar and all!
It was fun to see them interact as their characters in 2005. They really played it up for me. I made Waverly's costume this year. I believe I finished it about an hour before we headed out to take pictures and leave for trick or treating. (I am the queen of procrastination, especially when it comes to sewing projects.)
I told them I wanted to go traditional with costumes in 2006. Scary was the theme. Of course Wav still had to have a little glam with the feathers and the make up. Dan was the perfect grim reaper. You can see it but his head is shaved bald under his hood!
2007 was the year of the red devil! We went all out with the wig and the eyelashes and the dress. This was probably my all time favorite costume. Dan required a little less prep however I did sew his alien hands which he LOVED! It's hard to see in the pictures but they were made with iridescent, shinny material. He scared many a little kid that year!
Jason Voorhies and a Witch went trick or treating with their friends for the first time in 2008. I was left at home, alone, passing out candy. It was a sad year for me, they were growing up.
2009 was the final year for costumes. We went all out with Dan's ghost costume. I think he would have been happier just wearing a sheet over his head but that wasn't what I had in mind! I loved his makeup and the hair and the spiderweb in his hair. He hated it but he was a trooper and played along. Waverly was a bad fairy. He wings were made of black feathers (honestly they were a little creepy) and the black wig with pig tails were perfect!

Waverly Themed Pages
These layouts are all from the Creating Keepsakes Convention in St. Louis 2011. The first two were from the "Bling It On!" class by CK. Lots of glitter and sparkle. Lots of glitter, lol!
This was from the class "Material Girl" also by CK. I think this was a Shelbi Bywater class! This is one of my favorite layouts.(in spite of all the paper flowers, lol)
This was from the Embellish It! class 2011 Latest and Greatest with Basic Grey.

Pages from Creating Keepsakes Convention | St. Louis 2012
Quick & Classy with My Mind’s Eye 2012: This class was taught by Sophia at Strictly Scrapbooking. She was a hoot! She had us all laughing from the get go and she put together some great pages with some really fun embellishments. I actually enjoyed the two types of flowers we created (i normally panic when they say we have to "make" flowers) with this kit. The crepe paper flower you can see below and there was another flower that was created with lace and a large glue dot. (That page isn't quite done yet!)
Got Your Number Album Workshop: This was a 3 hour workshop taught by Shelbi Bywater from Creating Keepsakes. Looking back i think this was my favorite class of the weekend. I am already planning other number oriented pages that will go in this album.
2012 Latest & Greatest with Basic Grey: This is a class i look forward to every year that is taught by Shelby at Embellish It! She is so much fun and she moves through the easy stuff so we are sure to have time to learn some new tricks! this is just one of the four layouts from that kit class.
I've been wanting to scrapbook these photos for a long time and while i was making copies i noticed my Grandpa's handwriting on the back of the photos. So i copied that too and incorporated it into the layout. His handwriting was always very hard to read so i plan on putting a "translation", so to speak, as a pull out tab behind the journalling. This layout originally had 4x6 photos laid across the middle of the pages with a bicycle motif on the right side. I ditched the bicycle and use a Close to My Heart alphabet set to create the title along with these great hot air balloon stamps from Stampin' Up!
Scrapbooking Off the Grid: This was another class taught by Shelbi Bywater (I'm a big Shelbi Bywater fan!)from Creating Keepsakes. I tend to be very linear in my scrapbooking so these layouts were right up my alley! And I always have fun travel pictures on hand, even if it's just "local" travel.
