First scrapbook pages

Here are my first scrapbook pages of the New Year - woo-hoo!! Sisterhood of Scrap has two challenges on their site and here are my pages for both of them:



This first page was made using the Saturday Sketch from Sisterhood's site. The journaling says: "When we go back to IL to visit, I try to convince my mom & my sister to go to scrapbook classes with me. I usually win & when we go it's scrappin' heaven!"
This first one was to scrapbook a list. My list was sort of a recipe for a photoshoot because everytime I turn on my camera, I have a few random pictures that I didn't take. These are a few of them. The journaling says: 1. Borrow Mommy's camera 2. Pose for self portrait 3. Ask brother to pose for picture 4. Act silly 5. Have fun!
I have been trying to scan in my pages because it seems like I can never get a good picture. Our scanner, however, is 8.5 x 11 so I have been having to use a stitchin program and I am really not liking the one I downloaded. It continues to curve the edges. Not sure if it's normal but it's pretty annoying. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them. Thanks for looking!

hey there! thanks for visiting my blog. Your scrapbook pages are SO darn cute hehe.

I bought my "QuickStik" at my Local SCrapbook store - not sure if they sell them online. But it's a pretty handy tool, especially when you have those tiny little embellishments that are a PAIN to pickup!!

Hope that helps!

How good lookin' are we? I love the idea for the photo shoot. Your kids are so funny and your layouts are always so creative. Mine are always square and symmetrical. BORING!!

I like the way you challenge yourself. You have a great way of expressing every day life and that is what your family will cherish when thay look back on their childhood. Your scrapbooking is very inspiring to me. I love you! Mom :)
