Hello July

I am happy to report that I met my deadline and have finished our daughter's 5th grade album!  We have been at a family reunion so I had to bring the remaining pictures and some scrappin' stuff with me.  I packed in a hurry so of course I didn't have what I wanted to use once I got started but I managed to finish after a trip to the store, I spent less than $10.  I finished three layouts this weekend, today I'm sharing the layout that uses miscellaneous pictures taken thoughout the school year.  I normally try to use pictures that haven't been used in previous LOs.  This simple 2- page layout uses glittered background paper (99 cents from Target), cardstock from the DCWV rick rack paperstack, colorbok letters for the title and embellishments from my stash.

Hello Monday

Happy Memorial Day! Today I'm sharing another LO that I completed using a sketch from the Anytime, Anywhere Scrapbook Experience challenge being hosted by Tiare over at iClassygirl. Even though I'm not caught up on this challenge I feel like I'm making good strides. For this LO I used pictures of our daughter as she was presented a trophy for placing 8th in the Fire Safety Student of the Year Program for the city's 5th graders. We were so surprised and honored that she was recognized for her efforts and placed, her school also won School of the Year! I'm working on another LO using more pictures from this event.

Hello Friday

I am so happy that today is Friday because this has been a long week and I've been going non-stop. As the school year winds down and we start to gear up for the summer we just seem to be busier. I still have a few things I'd like to share from the cruise but I need to get the pictures together before I post them. Today I'm sharing a LO of my daugher showing off her poster when she was Student of the Week. We will be on the road bright and early tomorrow for an Aikido seminar so there will be more pictures to scrap! We visited our last school today so we'll spend some time making a middle school selection this week too.

First Day of School

Today I'm sharing the LO that I completed for my DD's first day of school last week. As stated before I only took the one picture of her standing outside her classroom. I can't believe she's in the 5th grade, she's growing up way too fast! This was the first year I made a card for her and put it in her lunchbox and she was quite surprised so I used it on the LO too.

Happy Friday!

Wow its Friday, the weather has been a bit gloomy all week so not too much creating! I do have several LOs that I want to share but I still need to take pictures. So today I'll just share a picture of DD on her first day of school, this is the only picture that I took and its her standing outside her classroom. So that means I'll have to be a little more creative when its time to scrap it! It was raining on Tuesday, we were running late and I couldn't put my hands on my camera so I had to use my phone!
