Pretty paper pieces

Pretty paper pieces..Love

Scrapbooking bits

I have been working on getting my favorite instagram pictures in a cute album. For this project I chose an 8 by 10 scenic route album to help me keep it simple. I had my pictures developed like cute polaroids..and now its all up to me to get them in an album.

Most of the paper I used is from the Amy Tangerine line.

I have to tell you that what I love about taking pictures with my IPhone is that I seem to capture sweet moments like this one.. My phone is quieter than the radio so when I take a picture half the time they don't know because the radio is almost always on.

I dont know how much Christopher would like this layout.

I can hear him saying mom.. but I love it.. Hope you found some time to be crafty...

Sharing my Smash Book with you

Getting back to the normal ins and outs of the day are not as fun as being on vacation. I like hanging all day with my kids and having my main thought being where will we hike and what will we eat , but going back to working is what one must do...I was really good about writing everything we did so that I could get it all in my scrapbook before I forgot. I actually started this weekend can you believe it... I used to be a huge scrapbook addict.. I will never stop loving paper and glue and a scrapbook paper ... 

I got most of it finished so this week I will be sharing my Smash book with you. This is the larger format book. 

I also journal ed most of our journey so now that my printer works I was able to print out my daley entries there in there too.

Our first stop was Vegas...More to come tomorrow.. I hope you have been well I really do..

My favorite journals from the past..

 I was organizing my soon to be craft room and came across some old circle journals and mini books.. These are the ones that made me sit down. The mini albums that you just want to take in because you love them..Here are mine...

This was a circle Journal about my love for music...
Dave Mathews
John Mayer
Indigo Girls
The doors
Lenny Kravitz
Sublime
according to my mini book these were my favorite musicians at the time..

Happy Together
This was about my friends and family at the time..

This mini album was look into my mind...Looking at it now its funny to me. 

OK this was circle journal and I wanted everyone to post all things that made them smile..
Mine were my kids and running and scrap booking..

This was fun to make because it was made out of plastic sheets..

So there you go..This is why we make journals and write stories in our blogs ...So we can look back and go ooohhhh
that was a great time in my life..
Hope you are having a great day..
