Scrapbooking...

sometimes gets pushed to the side because I usually only have time to make cards. Working on a large canvas like a scrapbook page takes a lot more time, well at least for me it does. LOL However, I finally got some time at the retreat a few weeks ago to make some layouts. The first one is of my niece Taylor. The journaling reads, "Just like Batman has Robin and Peanut Butter has Jelly, I have a creative sidekick, my niece Taylor. I love spending the day with "mini me" in my craft room. (Jan. 2011)" The next one is about Ted and I. The journaling reads, "We decided to try something new for our six year wedding anniversary. We had never been bowling so I thought it would be a fun date while out of town in Indianapolis. The best part was kickin' your butt. Hee. Hee. :) " Here's a LO about Alex and his girlfriend, Ashley. The journaling reads, "It's so sweet to see you in a relationship and being so thoughtful, caring, and respectful towards Ashley. It makes my heart want to burst. I'm so very proud of you Alex! (2011) Another about Alex and his favorite thing to do-drumming! Journaling: "One of my favorite things in the world is to watch you play. It makes my heart happy to see you enjoying yourself so much."

This one I may have shared before but I was going through older pics and found it. Love that I could fit 16 photos on one page. Loving mini prints! Journaling: "Celebrating 40 years-Richard and Kay Ritzi-March 7, 2010"I've already shared this layout but I wanted to show you a BEFORE and AFTER. I very rarely go back and tweak layouts but I wanted to submit this LO for a magazine call and felt it needed a face lift.

BEFORE: AFTER:Whatcha think? Hopefully you like the after better. LOL

Anyway, just wanted to share some layouts to prove I still scrapbook. Thanks for stopping by!
