It has taken me a week to get back into the swing of things. The first week of school, I just sat on the floor and played legos by myself crying with loneliness (hee hee). But this week, I have started back on my long walks with Mayzie each morning. And life is slowing getting back to normal, whether I wanted it to or not.
So, since it was time to update my blog and I have absolutely nothing witty to say today, I will post some layouts from the past. And then I will go make some new ones since I am in the mood to scrap (and hopefully post them tomorrow).
This layout was part of my HOF entry way back in 2008 and then it was in the Creating Keepsakes book called 101 Expert Solutions for Scrapbooking. I cut the large photo into small squares, sanded the edges of each a little and then put them back together. I used pop dots behind the squares with my daughter on them so she would stand out from the background.
These two layouts were in my April Creating Keepsakes article called "Spring Into Action":
The idea behind this layout was to fit all of your photos from one event onto one page. I used quite a few on the layout and then included six more in a pocket on the back of the layout. Just attach 4x6 photos back to back that can be pulled out of the top of the page protector.
Just made this one for fun about a year ago. Thank you to Jamie Harper for taking these pictures of me and my beloved Mayzie (my only child sweet enough to stay home with me during the day - she is home schooled)!
This one was in July Creating Keepsakes in my article called "Shopping Smart". Love these photos of Chloe with her dadda in Hawaii a few years ago!
And last, this one is in Sherry Stevenson's new book called The Embellishment Handbook:
I hope you all have a great day! Off to get something done! Suzy
Love all your pages, Suzy! Glad things are getting back to normal now for you. Maybe I'll get an email....???? Maybe??? ;P
