Project Life

I finally started my Project Life album yesterday. Becky Higgins has a great new website including a digital book making program where you can build a Project Life album and have it made into a beautifully printed 12x12 book. It's lemon squeezy! I like the idea of starting my book at the beginning of a new school year. If you don't know about Project Life go here to find out more about it. So that's what I did with my Labor Day, that and homework. What about you?

No Pressure

One of the things I love about scrapbooking is that I feel no pressure with it. There is no one to please with what I do but myself. I'm usually scrapping at my own leisure and I have intentionally not made any themed books or scrapped in any particular order. Some people might find this maddening but for me I absolutely love that I can start on what I want whenever I want to - One of the few area's of my life I feel No Pressure, what a joy. Here is some of the chaos I have created recently.

50 posts!

I just noticed that this will be my 50th post! I have to say the experience of having a blog since I started a little over a year ago has been quite enjoyable. I like the idea that I can share my experience, hopes & accomplishments with people and also learn from other talented creative people. Also that when I'm an old lady my daughter can read about our life when she was young and see our everyday experiences. Well I did some digital scrapping today - using some sassafras paper I got in the mail - I don't have the heart to cut into it yet, but I wanted to scrap with it. I'm such a sissy!

I love Color

This is a two post day cause I want to get all my recent scraps up. I've been playing a lot with bright colors and loving how it looks.

Inspired by what I see

I saw this ad in a magazine last night and I really loved the layout and tried my first attempt of making my own sketch based on it. So I did a loose sketch.

Used In Design to put together all my photo's and print them on one sheet of 8.5x11 photo-paper

Then scraped the page. It was a super easy page to do, because it's mostly comprised of pictures.

What a great way to do sketches and get pages done!

If you need more creative inspiration go check out Elsie's Blog. She did a 24 hour blog party yesterday of creative, crafty, inspiring, artsy stuff.

paper pages

Paper pages from my scrappy weekend! More to come. Trying to get as much done before I get really busy with school.

more digi scrapping

I've had a scrappy weekend. I still need to take photo's of my paper pages so I'll post those soon. In the mean time here are more digital pages for my childhood album.

fall accordion book

First of all Happy B-day to my Momma And baby brother Skylar. I'm so glad you were both born today and that God put you both in my life. You both bring me so much joy and happiness!

This is the fall picture project I was talking about. I did 4 4x6 digital scrapbook pages and attached them in an accordion book style. Then I decorated the cover and sent them as gifts to those I love. Hope they like them, and get them before seeing this. I will take picture of the actual project and would like to have a digital download at sometime but I am still figuring out how exactly to do that.Also my Church showed this video on Sunday and it was amazing, convicting, challenging and just all around awesome. Makes you want to be a part of the change.

Happy Monday!

Something I Love

Well I decided to enter the PageMaps scrapbook contest. I had to scrap "something I love" using the page map below. By the way this site is such a great jumping off point for any scrapper, it totally helps you get ideas that look great! Wish me luck!

Pages Pages Pages

Catching up on posting some pages I've done. Wish I could scan them, for better quality, but my scanner is too small. Anyone have any suggestions on how to take better pic's of you pages?

old pages

When I first started scrapbooking last year these were some of the first pages I did. I'm hoping to eventually post most of my pages seeing as this is primarily a scrapping blog, but like most of my generation I have ADD and can't sit still doing one thing for too long.
