Starting the Book of Me

Hope and I are hosting the BOM challenges once again on the CK message board. If you're reading this, come and join in, we welcome new scrapbookers! Here's my first layout, inspired by the Oprah magazine.

Signs of summer

I did this layout for the Sketchy Thursday sketch challenge this week. I was playing around with my new lens to get some closeups of summer fruit and I like how this one came out. I love the 100 Days of Summer scrap kit too.
                                                    

Perfect for Me!

I got up early this morning so I could go get some errands done, then do the CK one hour challenge. It ended up being a challenge to use pink! Really? What luck!! Here's my page, thanks CK!

Being in school (as a student) is HARD!!

Going to school this week for a Writer's Workshop class and oh my goodness, it's so hard to get up early again. The hardest part is not going to bed earlier since it's summer, but that alarm clock goes off at 6! It's a good class and I'm learning a lot, BUT I still need my summer! The best thing is the first night's homework assignment was to decorate my Writing Notebook and read some chapters. Guess which assignment I loved? Here it is

Hybrid Scrapping, Me??

Hmmm, not so sure about digital scrapping for me. Playing with Picasa today for the BPS challenge and it is fun, and I'm learning a lot. I like the way you can put words on photos, then print. I'm a papergirl though, so don't worry.

Brady Bunch Minus the Maid!

I'm taking a class at Big Picture Scrapbooking this summer, and this is the layout for my first challenge. My family was just like the Brady Bunch, three boys and three girls. I am the youngest. I"ve always wanted to do this layout, and this gave me the perfect opportunity. I rewrote parts of the theme song for the journaling.

Happy Birthday Dear Brother!!

I know everyone is in Big Bear celebrating your big day, but I just couldn't make it this time. I'm thinking of you and wishing I was there, we had such a great time when we spent the week with you! Hope your birthday is fabulous, and I did a layout in your honor. You are the best, but when did you get so OLD????

Don't tell Larry and Tom I put my "favorite" brother in there though!!!
