All Aboard the Choo Choo Train

My "friend", Lindsay, (laughing @ my quotes, only she will get it) did a post one time about tooting her own horn. I am going to do that...again. My last post was tooting too. I took pics of some pages that I did a while ago...holy cow, it's been over a year! I liked these pages the best. After seeing some of the Layouts that people have sent for the E.A.D. creative team, I'm feeling a little inferior. So I'm dying to get down and scrapbook some fantastic pages. But instead I'm blogging. I was going to send some of these into a contest but didn't do it. Alot of those contests like a lot of Journaling. I never know what to journal on my pages...I need to do better. So make nice comments so I don't go kill myself using my cricut! LOL


This LO of Sophie is my typical style...a strip of photos on the bottom, side or top and a bigger pic as the main focus. A lot of my LO's are like this because I want to use more than one pic on a page (Unless it's a big pic). So when I did the next bunch of LO's I was proud of myslef for trying something different.

McKinley took these pictures of Brockston. It still makes me laugh cuz I didn't know she had the camera until I loaded these pics on the computer.

I had a bunch of little pics of the girls at their concerts. I didn't want to do multiple pages cuz they were so small in each of those photos. Just so you know, I get my ideas from books, online etc. I very rarely have an origional idea.

This is un-common for me to scrap one pic on a page. I was scrapbooking one time and the girls wanted to do it with me. So I set them up next to me with their own little make-shift desks and had Glade take our picture. It is a fun memory for me. See...why can't I put that on the page?

So there you have it. I need to know how to photograph pages better. I don't know what the tricks are. My scanner isn't that big. So if you have any tips, let me know! Thanks for lookin'!

Love those pages too! I have the same problem with journaling too. That's why I love to blog. But with scrapbooking, I always feel like I can't find the right spot to include a story. I recently stated typing up my description of the pictures because every time I used my own writing, it ruined the whole page. Anyway, you are amazing, and YOU are the one that got me back into scrapbooking!

Love your pages! They're so cute I will have to steal your ideas! Okay, not really, since I don't really scrapbook. :) Do you suppose I could make cards out of your layout ideas? Hmmm....

I should just pay you to scrapbook my stuff for me. I am so behind. I'm sure you got so much time since you only have 4 kids. :)
