Layout #262

Lake Lovers by Haley Ross

This layout is so different for me. Yes, it's still linear... aren't they all? But for me it's different. I really couldn't decide if the waves coming from the centre worked. But I got the ok from a friend and went with it...so happy I did. In fact, I am so happy to have turned out a page I like, it's so inspiring.

I take mostly portrait pictures & fill my frame each time, it makes for some difficult scrapbooking. I try to remember not to, but it seems I always end up flipping through my pictures noticing I've done it again...dang.

Materials: Paper & Stcikers: Echo Park; Brads: Doodlebug designs; Alphabet Stickers: Thickers by American Crafts.

Get Wet

The best thing about having kids is getting to use all the bright colored paper. (Ok, there are other better things. LOTS better. But this is good too.). I love Echo Park. It is making scrapbook so easy.

Materials: Patterned Paper & Stickers: Echo Park and Pebbles Inc.

April Snow by Haley Ross

I sat at the Church across from Kaly, who was decidedly uninspired and Jen, who was scrapbooking a layout just to fill an empty slot. Both great ladies but neither of them were at their inspirational peak. I often feed off the creativity of people around me. So as we chatted about the usual things (babies, husbands, what to make for dinner) this page seemed to just happen. I wasn't really even paying too much attention to what I was doing. And it made me so happy. It made me start to love scrapbooking again. Because when something becomes too much effort I get grumpy. And scrapbooking was making me grumpy.
