First Grade

Woo hoo! I actually scrapbooked Tristan's first grade individual and class pictures BEFORE he was out of the first grade. I love how the red foil paper makes the pictures pop. The ribbon was from their Red Ribbon/Drug Awareness week; and he was given the paw print as an incentive before they started Terra Nova testing. I picked up the papers at my sister-in-laws scrapbook store in Clarksville, TN. I have a page for every grade kindergarten through 4th grade so hopefully I can get his kindergarten and preschool pictures done soon. I plan to do another layout with his awards and some journaling in his own handwriting so be watching for that.

You Da Man!

I wanted to creat a layout using the You Rock paper set from CTMH without making it a musical layout. I love the colors and the sheer "coolness" factor of this paper. I chose these pictures of my brother competing in his first triathlon because my boys think he is the coolest guy they know. The journaling will be added on a pull out card that will peek out behind the picture at the top of the second page.

Snoqualmie Falls

Yes, I'm behind on my scrapbooking. Yes, T is a toddler in these pictures and my SIL only has 2 kids instead of 3; but at least I'm getting back to work on my Seattle vacation album. Hopefully, about 3 more layouts should finish it up. This one was done using the "Safe & Secure" layout design from Imagine. This is one of the few times I've used a 5x7 picture on a layout. I also got creative with the journaling and title. They are printed on transparencies in black ink. Cool, huh?
