i feel like this blog has been short on scrapbooking shares. there have been a few projects sprinkled in here and there. but i've been scrapping non-stop, so i feel like i should have more to show you for it. lol! i checked my files tonight, because sticking some numbers out there always makes me feel more accomplished. in the last 2 months, i have created 31 layouts, 16 cards/projects, and 1 mini album. i didn't even realize it was that many. those numbers surprised me. and makes me feel sort of tired, to be honest. lol! here is a layout i can share with you today 🙂
this went up on the jillibean soup blog today. a while ago, they were asking on their blog what readers wanted to see more of. and something that caught my eye, was that people wanted more double page layouts. so i figured i would toss one in there. i was really wanting to use the alphabet soup collection, so i dug around in old school photos of the girls.
these photos from sarah's preschool graduation caught my eye. i had scrapped the one close up shot of her on a layout forever ago, but had never done anything with the other photos. i started by doing what i do on all my layouts that involve a lot of photos. i trimmed a little off this photo, and a little of that photo, and then a little off the other photo. i just trim away, until they all fit together the way i want them too. love the collaged layouts like this. once the photos are on there, i just build around them with my patteren papers and stuff to fill it up.
look how cute and tiny sarah was! this was over 5 years ago. just graduating from preschool. she only went for a year, and it was just 2 mornings a week. she loved it. she was so quiet of course. i always think it's funny that sarah's teachers think she never talks and is so quiet and calm. becuase she's actually the exact opposite. although, i've been told i was the same way as a kid. lol!
