here we go … some of my favorite summer layouts from years past. keep in mind … these are all old layouts. most of them done about 3-4 years ago. most of the photos were from 5 years ago. but i'm thinking i scrapped all these at least 3 years ago.
i think i did this layout for a class i taught. or maybe just the accent. i remember it was a class on chipboard. that larger photo of sarah has always been a favorite of mine … even if it was a little dark. that was from 5 years ago, when she was just 5 years old … back in my film days.
i actually did this layout as part of my entry for the CK "hall of fame" contest … which obviously, i never did win. lol! it was supposed to be a layout about a special photo that had a lot of meaning. i choose that larger one of joe and sarah. these were taken on a trip to the cabin … from 5 years ago. love that these old photos have the dates printed on them … comes in handy. lol!
and here's a close-up of the journaling about these photos.
so hard to get a good photo of a 2 page layout. i have a huge glare on that upper left corner … but i'm too lazy to retake it. i was so proud of this layout when i created it. i'm pretty sure this was a becky higgins sketch … i used to do a lot of those. i was big on using foam stamps and paints for my titles. and do you see how i worked some of the label stickers into my journaling? i'm sure that took me forever to figure out. lol! once again … photos are from 5 years ago.
i'm noticing that most of these layouts are mainly of sarah. now i feel bad that i didn't pull more out with alyssa. lol! i'll have to find more of her now. anyways. i used vellum on this layout … the printed kind. i always had a hard time using that, for some reason. and i remember this layout coming together so easily … i wish i could always make it that simple. these are also photos from 5 years ago. is it a coincidence that all of these ended up being from the same year?!?! lol!
ok … these photos were from 4 years ago. this was from a trip to disneyland we took with grammie and papa. i did an 8×8 mini album on this entire trip … one of my favorite mini albums ever. but i also did a few random regular layouts here and there. i love this one … the colors are so fun. my favorite chipboard letters … i still have gobs of those.
back to photos from 5 years ago. lol! these were taken at a tiny little amusement park. another layout that i just loved when i created it. and i noticed that i was big on punching holes and stringing ribbon through the holes. i have a lot of layouts like that.
guess that's enough for one day. i have so much fun looking back through my older layouts. i have so many that still catch my eye … and that i love. there are so many that i want to lift … and make new versions of.
