Mission Airport Layout

 My son made the decision to serve a 2 year mission to teach about Jesus Christ.  We are so excited for him and can't wait to hear about all of his experiences.  Trying to do a layout that isn't girly or cute is harder for me.  LOL.  But sometimes, the more simple the better.  Let the photos and journaling tell the story.  Love you son!  See you in two!

August 2021 Year in Review Layout

 So my friend challenged me to do a 2 or 4 page layout for each month to get more photos in the book and to not stress about having time to do them all.  She asked me to pick my favorite photos from the month and scrapbook them.  Then some of the memories would be preserved even if I never made it to scrapbooking all of them.  I loved this idea.  This is my August layout.  I am making progress!  And as an extra bonus, I was able to join these challenges.

Zoe Grace Layout

This was another fun layout I created using a gift kit I received c couple years ago.  I have loved this kit.  It has been so much fun.  After loosing our sweet Coco, we got our cute little Zoe.  Zoe is the first dog that we have ever given a middle name to.  She is just the cutest, but clutziest little thing.  Hence her name, Zoe Grace.  Because she is so NOT graceful.  She just makes us laugh.  Silly little dog.

I love my dog Coco layout

In January of 2018, we lost my sweet little Coco.  She was honestly the best dog I have ever had.  She followed me everywhere.  Once time she even went up in a 40 foot boom truck and wasn't even scared as long as I was holding her.  She followed me everywhere and was truly my little side kick.  Sadly when she was just over 9 years old she developed kidney failure and her levels were so high they couldn't help her.  I even tried making homemade dog food to get her to eat but she wouldn't have any of it.  She was brave and sweet right up to the end.  I still miss her so much!  She was truly the sweetest and best little companion.

Happy Campers Layout

 I had fun making this layout.  The cute papers all came from a kit I was given at a scrapbooking retreat from my secret sister and the cutouts were some from grab bags I got at Our on a Limb for .80.  They were well worth the money.  So many of the ladies wouldn't even look at them, but since I cut so many files, I had a good idea what some of the pieces would make so I bought them in an unmarked bag.  We often go to a cabin and we spend a lot of time outdoors so I knew that these pine cones would go somewhere.  The colors look like they were made for this page.  Love it!

Sunny Summer Days Layout

 Just some fun family memories of lazy summer days.  It's always the best when I can get my whole family together.  Something special and perfect about those days.

Selfie Layout

In all my 20 years of scrapbooking, I think this is the first page I have done of myself.  I love the movement and colors on this page.    I have been trying to not buy more supplies and to use what I have and since I have an abundance of paper, I have been trying to use more paper on my pages.  Doing layouts this way, uses more paper which is always a good thing!  LOL.   I have more paper than I know what to do with.....It's my purchasing weakness.  Ever since I got my cricut machine YEARS ago, I have collected paper because with the machine, you can create anything you want with just paper.  This system in a good one so that there is lots of color, faster pages, and using what I already have.  Lovin' it.
