Playing with old photos

So...it didn't take me long to scan in all of the B+W photos that were in the magnetic album. And now, of course, I have to play with them! These are photos from Easter 1958, 1959, and 1963. I love to look at photos of mom when she was little. And check out the photo right above the word, "Easter." It looks like Uncle Tom is just about to swing his arms and long jump into the mud! Having boys is great! Have a happy Wednesday and may all of your power supplies work like a charm!

12 Stories Intro Pages

Digital Template and brushes by Ali Edwards-Paper from Designer Digitals.

I am SOOOO loving Ali's Yesterday and Today Class! This is the Intro page template. I decided to create my 12 stories in digital format. It is much faster for me-and it will free up more time for working on my "December Daily" album. December Daily is coming up fast!!! I just ordered a new line of Christmas papers from 2Peas Scrapbooking a few days ago-that is the last of my December Daily shopping-now I just need to create the album!

Anyway-I created the intro page and then decided that it was so much fun that I wanted to do another page! Happy Friday! It's almost the weekend!

Latest 12x12 Scraplifts

I have been scrapbooking like crazy lately. A little digital, a little hybrid, a little paper. I was totally inspired by the latest Creating Keepsakes magazine. This layout of Bryan's 5th grade "graduation" was inspired by the "I love to Bake" layout on page 56.

The above layout is a scraplift from the "3+1=4" layout by Ali Edwards on page 47.

This page has absolutely no journaling. It should have. I haven't gotten to that part yet. It is also a scraplift of one of Ali's layouts in her column about including stitching on layouts on page 64.

I bought this paper at Scrapadoodle in Peoria. I was hording it until I took these photos of Sarah and Elizabeth. I knew immediately what paper I would use! Also no journaling...

This page was totally inpsired by the "Generations" layout on page 67, although it's kind of hard to see the wavy line stitching through the hearts and the trim at the bottom! I thought it was a great idea to do a layout with Mother and daughter both as little baby girls.

Hope you're having a great week. Happy Tuesday!
