Spring & Summer 07 Layouts

This picture is blurry, so I'll have to go back and take another, but I love this layout. Adapted from a really cute one I found with a picture of a sleeping baby. I used chipboard letters, ribbon, paper, cute bunny stickers, rub-on stitching, and a brad or two. I also used embroidery floss and stitched around the picture on the left hand page.


Same Easter, family album. I loved the brown pattern and the ribbon-striped paper.


This is the cover page from Luke's 2-year old album. The leather ties are made from a piece of leather from Jason's old houseshoes!


We had a really rainy summer in Texas. July 4 was so wet! This is the only picture I took that day, but I love the scrapbook page. I took a ridiculous amount of time to stamp the words to "rain rain, go away" on the background paper. The red rick-rack is from my grandmom's sewing kit.


We went camping last summer and took Luke for a swim in the lake. I'd been saving these silver letters for a year and a half and finally had a page to use them on!


We had a going away party in Justin before we went to Wisconsin. These 2 pages mark those events. I love the combo of the red ribbon with orange dots and the red-orange Creative Memories paper with swirlies on it. I'd saved that paper a long time to use on some cool page!

In Wisconsin, we went to a county fair, where Luke got to ride a ferris wheel for the first time. It was clear right away that the fair would be one of Luke's favorite memories, so I wanted to make some really neat pages for the scrapbooks about it. This first one is in our family album. The ferris wheel doesn't spin. I used rub-on stitches to make the details on the wheel, and the cars are made from chipboard tags. The paper is Creative Memories.


This is from Luke's book. The ferris wheel spins and inside are pictures of us on different rides at the fair.
