yes, my friends … i’m interrupting my normal scrapbooking to bring you these gems. here are a few "crappy-pictures-of-way-too-simple-layouts-featuring-super-crazy-old-photos". lol! and i say this in the nicest way … because i’m not knocking this style at all. it’s just not something i do much.

Holiday_memories

ok, this one isn’t all that simple … i think it’s my style actually. and i had to put it at the top so as to make sure and grab your attention. lol! these are some pictures that my mom took of the girls about 2 years ago when she took them ice skating.

Camping_spread

check out this … camping photos that i find super funny! when my sister came to visit for my cousins wedding (a year and a half ago), her and my dad took joe and the girls camping. i think i was working. and the girls actually had to miss a day of school for this 2-day trip … alyssa was truely devasted. seriously! and she will tell you to this day that it was not worth it. she did not like camping. lol! i actually grew up camping. so i can do the camping thing once i’m out there … and yet i love my comfort of my home even more. so i go both ways on the whole experience. and i’m showing both of these page by themselves … because there are some truely funny pics on here that are better close-up. lol!

Camping_pg1

Camping_pg2

Zoo_spread

and these zoo pictures … from 7 1/2 years ago!!! how can i have had these pictures laying around for that long without doing something with them? lol! i used to work nights on the weekends when i did grocery … so joe would do stuff with the girls on saturdays while i slept. look how tiny they are! sarah was only 13 months here … check her out with teddy … who i’m thinking really deserves a special layout with his story.

Sunol_christmas_train

really crappy picture of this one … but i couldn’t get the second page to stand up straight. lol! i did this off a becky higgins sketch. i’m not digging it … but it’s done. these pictures were about 3 years ago. looking back, i wish the girls weren’t wearing purple for a christmas train ride. lol!

don’t worry … i’ll be back to my normal scrapping style as of now! i got an extremely generous supply of product from MM yesterday … so i’m really looking forward to creating with it all! but this was a nice week … i had fun digging out older photos and getting them down in the books … no matter how simple they turned out. i got a ton done (15 pages in a week) and it felt good.

    Nice to see the two page layouts from you LOL. I know you think they are not that great but take it from someone who thinks they are really great they are.
    Have a great week and can’t wait to see what you come up with, with my favorite Making Memories products.

    Frankly I don’t think I have ever seen you take a “crappy” photo and I happen to love the multi pic two page layouts! Great job as usual. As a matter of fact I may lift a few.

    You go girl, especially creating a few two-page layouts. Wow, scrapping pictures from years ago, haven’t done that in awhile. That is a great challenge though.

    You are totally on a roll. Doesn’t it feel good to accomplish that much in a short time
    ? I was just going through old pictures last night and thinking that I need to just get them on a page. So far behind.
