I've been working on pages!

Here are 2 layouts I completed this week. The first is "Kept in Proportion" from Cherish. The paper "Free Spirit" is one of my favorites. Featuring cocoa, honey, and dutch blue. Unfortunately, this great paper has been retired, but I was lucky enough to receive it in one of the goodie boxes in our summer sale at more than 1/2 off. I can't pass up a sale - it's my 2nd most favorite 4-letter word with my 1st being FREE.

This next layout uses the colors topiary, smoky plum, buttercup, with just little grey wool. I never wanted to cut my little guy's hair. He has wonderfully thick hair that I love, but that wasn't what kept me from cutting it. Up until we got a portable DVD player getting him to sit while getting it cut was a nearly impossible task! This layout design is from Imagine and is called "Personality Presence". Well my son definitely has that!

Open Crop

Are you behind? Is the last thing in your child's scrapbook from when he was 2 and he's now 7? Want to impress all the other mom's in your child's class by sending handmade birthday invitations? Or make all your Christmas cards? Too many distractions at home to get it all done?

Well then you sound like me! My goal is 8 pages a month (four 12x12 layouts) complete with journalling. Join me on the 2nd Friday of every month and we'll work to get caught up together and have some fun. 7-10pm. No RSVP necessary but it will help just in case I need to get the hubby to set up the extra table.

First crop will be September 11th 7-10 pm.
