Splashin' Around

This was a single page sketch from Got Sketch Express 4 that a fellow classmate made into a 2 pager. Seeing her layout totally hit me upside the head that it would be perfect for these photos! Not sure if I like the wave border but it looks better than it did with white paper behind it. And I am super excited that I was able to use some seriously old things that I never imagined I'd use!

Gramps' Special Gift

Um, yeah, well where do you think I get MY warped sense of humor from?? So Gramps, ED, gave the boys these wonderful shirts for Christmas. Only more perfect because someone else made them, so there are other people out there with our whacked sense of humor. We still chuckle when one of the boys wears their shirt! (and can you see the sharks "circling" the boys??)

Layout is based on Sketch 237 from Sketch Inspirations.

Blue & Gold

Boy Scouts birthday party back in February 2007. I had the hardest time finding paper that worked with both the theme and the colors! I mean, REALLY, all that tan and blue...... Anyway, this layout met another challenge over at Scrapdango: paper with words on it, and some type of computer element (journaling).

Aloha

So much for zooming through layouts, huh? I guess that is what happens when you go to Vegas for a couple days and come home having won.......A COLD!

Here is another one from our Christmas vacation in Hawaii. wouldn't that be a nice place to recuperate from a cold? yeah, well, one can dream! needless to say, this is our arrival in the airport in Hawaii. my dad was there to great us all with traditional leies.......seeds for the man, flowers for the woman.....and well, macadamia nuts for the boys! lol!

this layout is based on today's newly posted sketch #208 over at Sketch Inspiration. I think it took me all of four hours after seeing the sketch to have this done. and during that time I also put away a bunch of scrap supplies I purchased yesterday, picked out photos and sketches for 3 layouts, and took a shower. aren't you impressed? HA!

Products used:

Basic Grey papers and alphabet stickers
HS rhinestone and ghost hearts (the ghost one is under the "a" in aloha)
Gin-X rub-ons (don't you miss them???)
misc brown pen and ink

Beware of Attack Gecko

Can you believe this is my 8th layout of 2011?? (not including the last layout where I did the 2nd page of a previously completed layout) Not bad considering my "goal" was 1 layout a week. I am really enjoying getting back into scrapbooking and using all those supplies I have been gathering. Even better, I am getting a tad bit closer to current in my albums......okay, well December 2006 isn't very close but it feels nice to see that stack of Hawaiian Christmas vacation photos.

This layout is based on another wonderful sketch from the Sketch Inspiration Volume 1. it was designed for 2 photos and a title, but I figured that the top photo said it all! lol!!

Basic Grey paper and flower
