I've just come off a FULL day of scrapping, I'm talking 12hrs here! I think that's a record for me... Despite endless high calorie snacks calling my name, I actually managed to get a lot done. I want to document 2011 by taking at least one great photo each month. I figured I'd be more likely to follow through with that if I had somewhere ready & waiting so...the family yearbook was born. I'll likely do one page layouts & either use the opposite side to journal or fill with other awesome pics, should those come along. ;) Mainly, I want to get the hard part out of the way & start snapping photos. I used a K & Company all year kit purchased at Michael's- I tried really hard to stick to what they gave me but some of the pieces were hideous. To make it worse, there was NO solid cardstock & some months had no embellishments at all... now I know why it was on sale. But I'm not one to complain (much), I made it do what it do & I feel like it came out well, all things considered. So here's a look at the months I managed to finish today...
For February, I took advantage of those cute doilies that Michael's has in the dollar bin right now. I cut the borders and tried something different...
Yes, March is extremely boring but I'm going to jazz it up a bit- I promise. Maybe I'll look for a cute stamp to add along the white part, this is where it would come in handy to know how to doodle.
Insert Easter Bunny photo here lol...
Here's May, I love the Springtime embellishments that came in the kit. I anticipate taking a photo with each of my daughters to place in the 4x6 slots... so often it's all of us together so it'll be something different to have solo pics.
For some reason, the other photos are not loading so I'll have to give you November another time... it's late & I'm scrapped out! -t.
