More Scrappin!

Well in the busy month of December I got together with a few friends to scrap the night away. And seriously that's exactly what I did. I finished off a lot of portrait or single type layouts of me, my husband in school, my father as a young boy, and my grandmother at age 22 in 1943.  I also finished off a 2 pg lo spread of my son Tyler. I actually made two similar lo's, one for his books and one for mine. :) Enjoy and thanks for looking!

this was me!

Serious Scrappin'!

Today I managed to knock off another half dozen or so lo's. Woohoo! These were all sorted and put in my box to scrap at the last crop I went to. I didn't get to them but I'm almost done with the box so now I need to take some time and restock it for the next crop! Anyway, thank you to many ppl who gave me kits or premade pages or had a hand in making some of the items on these pages which allowed them to come together so nicely!
Thes pages are of me, my daughter and my son. As I looked at them all tonight I can definitely see a resemblance between the three of us :). Also I do need to add a few titles to some of the pages but I wanted to add them to my blog today as tomorrow I won't have much computer time. Thanks for looking!

Scrapbook Place Fall Blog Hop!

I haven't blogged in a long while. Not sure why other than normal life stuff going on. :)Fall is my favorite season though, the colors are amazing and I felt it was time to show up here and show off some of my fall layouts! When you are a scrapbooker how can you not enjoy scrapbooking fall colors and fun pics in the leaves?
So I signed up for this Scrapbook Place Blog Hop. If you just happened on my blog by chance and you'd like to get to the beginning of the list please start off at Linda's Blog , she is one of the owners of our group and a great artist! From my blog you will happily hop onto another creative member of the scrapbook place group, Donna, remember to leave me a little love before you click on Donna's name! Don't forget to leave some comments all along the way too, because I hear there might be some goodies to be gotten by some lucky person!

My layouts are all from the last two years. I worked on these this Septemeber and felt it was time to display them. The first two pics were of me and my hubby just a few days before our son Tyler was born. The next set of pictures is of Tyler and us at a pumpkin festival in Pennsylvania. We had such a great time! Definitely have to go back again. Enjoy, and thanks for hopping along!
