Starting Point Layout +

A new Shimelle's Starting Point challenge was posted earlier this week.  I LOVE these challenges and look forward to them every week.  Just saying. :)   

This is my take on the SP.   I used October Afternoon's 9 to 5 collection (mostly).  I have had these wood veneer typewriters in my stash and finally found a way to use them and the OA 9 to 5 collection!  I like that I was able to use an unexpected motif (typewriters) for a baby page.  Although a little cheesy, they go well with my title.  The title was inspired by said  typewriters.  LOL!

Some more layouts:
Another 2-Pager of our mini-vacation.  So proud of myself for using so many pictures!  :)   This layout is going in our Life 2012 album.

This layout of my son and his friend on our mini vacation is going into his 2012 album.

My sweetie-pie, Emery.  She turns 1 year old next month!  OMGosh!  Where has the time gone?  By the way, this little stinker already has 2 & 3/4 albums... and she isn't even a year old yet!  :)

Sable and Emery

A 6X12 Layout, of me and my sweetie, using up some scraps.  I use to create at this size frequently.  It was fun and I like the way the different size pages look together in a 3-ring album.  To me, a little differentiation in page size adds interest to an album and makes the viewer interact a little more with the pages.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I have been up to!  I  have "met" so many sweet bloggey-scrappey friends who are so talented and creative and inspiring.   I love to visit your blogs... you know who you are!  I appreciate so much the comments and support you offer.  Thank you!  Okay... gush over.  :)

Good News & Layouts

I got the job!  The interview went well and I really liked the principal and vp.  We hit it off!   Come to find out, the school I will be teaching at is the same school my mom went to all through elementary school.  Kind of full circle, don't you think?  :)

Thanks to everyone for the "good luck" wishes and prayers!  I appreciate you very much! :)

I have a few layouts to share today.

This first one was based on Shimelle's latest starting point.  I love these photos!  That make me laugh every time I look at them!  

I am starting to work on pages from our Road Trip earlier this month.  We were gone 5 days and I took almost 500 pictures!  LOL!  All of those won't end up on a layout more than likely! :) 

My last layout to share today.  This is still Day #1 of our last Road Trip.  I have never really photographed food, but I think I will do more of it!  I really like how this layout turned out! :)   This is my sketch challenge #10 entry for ACOT.

Thanks for checking out my latest!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Starting Point Layout + 1 More

Happy Memorial Day!  I hope you are enjoying a long weekend and getting to sneak in a little scrapbooking!  We had family in from out of town and have spent the past two days enjoying their company, cooking out, and swimming.  We also celebrated my DD's graduation!  It has been a great weekend!

Today, I am sharing a layout using Shimelle's most recent Starting Point for this layout.  This is my adorable grandbaby, Emery on her first Easter. 

I finished this layout this morning.  It was created using scraps from my over-full scrap basket. This is Sugar-Momma and Katniss.  The newest edition to our family.  My son named her Katniss after the heroine in Hunger Games.  She is one out of a litter of 5 to survive birth.  She is our little fighter & survivor.... just like Katniss Everdeen from Hunger Games.  :)

I am off to do a little more scrapping!  Enjoy your day!

A Lovely Day at the Park - Layout

Another Starting Point challenge from the lovely and talented Shimelle.  Also, another layout of my sweetie-pie, squoosh, Emery.  We went to the park on Easter weekend and found plenty of photo opportunities!  She is the best-natured little girl!  This was her first trip to the park and it was so fun watching her take it all in.  Have I said how in-love I am, with this angel?  I wish I could put her innocence and joy in a bottle and save it forever. It is amazing how much joy she brings me!  I could just gush, on and on.  LOL!
