2010-09-22T08:22:00.001-05:00

Wow. A couple years since I posted here. Time to revisit the whole blogging thing. Maybe it will encouage me to scrapbook, huh?

2008-05-30T17:09:00.003-05:00

This is a mini-album I made of one of my kid's birthday parties.

the forgotten un-cj page

2007-11-02T09:50:00.000-06:00

I forgot an entire person when doing my un-cj pages. Sorry, Kim. Anyway, it is rectified now and here are the pages. The first page opens up and I scanned the opening also, but it really is a worthless picture since nothing more shows. Oh, well. Hope you enjoy it. It looks better in real life than in this flat scan.

sketch 4 for tamara's site

2007-07-20T18:23:00.000-05:00

here is a layout with a mini folder for my journaling. another sketch made by tamara. stitching done for the wisconsinscrappers.com challenge also.

lori's cj pages

2007-07-17T21:46:00.000-05:00

For Lori's CJ we had to have a water related item and a structure item from our hometown. So I did the Fox River and the old drawbridges. We also have a train tressel bridge that still operates.

Dawn's CJ pages (The devil made me eat it)

2007-07-06T18:10:00.001-05:00

This is my layout for Dawn's CJ. The CJ is "The devil made me eat it". We have to list the most disgusting thing we ever ate. Hopefully nobody has been on the Fear Factor show and eaten anything with moving legs.... ugh.

more layouts from Tamara's sketches

2007-07-04T19:32:00.000-05:00

Here is one more of my layouts from Tamara's sketches.

tamara's sketches

2007-07-04T19:27:00.000-05:00

I have been doing some layouts based on Tamara's sketches. It has been fun. Here is another one of them.

oval pictures gone bad

2007-07-02T05:41:00.000-05:00

I absolutely am not a lover of having pictures cropped into shapes. Occasionally I do it (like in the previous zoo layout), but not the norm.

These pictures are from a collage portrait that I got in a package deal from Olan Mills years ago. I never put it in a frame because I always hated that they were a bunch of ovals on a white background. So i finally took the plunge and cut them up only to find that I couldn't get them cut into squares and rectangles at all. Oops. Now what? So with a lot of DecoArt Snow Writer and a heck of a lot more imagination than I thought I had, this is the end result. I kind of like it, but maybe that is only because I know where it has been..... ugh.

sketch for tamara's challenge

2007-07-02T05:25:00.000-05:00

Tamara started a new sketch site http://sketcheswithmultiplephotos.blogspot.com/ that is challenging me to think in terms of following a preset design rather than punt every time. I have always loved sketches and use them frequently for my starting inspiration but I have never had to show a layout based on the sketch I started with, so this should be a great learning opportunity for me as well as a creative challenge.

Melissa's CJ

2007-06-12T19:16:00.000-05:00

This is my cj page for melissa's "technique" circle journal. Putzy beading... ugh. But it looks pretty neat in real life.

eugene feuling layout

2007-05-05T20:32:00.000-05:00

Andrea's CJ pages

2007-04-19T08:48:00.000-05:00

These are the last of the UN-CJ journal swap pages... uhm, except for my own title page.... lol. These are Andrea's for her Erin A-Z book for her daughter. Both pages have pull out journaling or extra photo spots.

Kristine's 2nd CJ page

2007-04-18T16:28:00.000-05:00

kristine's second page. got the journaling quote on strips like she likes.... hope that works for ya.... lol.

Tamara's CJ pages

2007-04-18T13:44:00.000-05:00

Both of these layouts have front photo mats that lift up for another 4x6 photo or journaling.

Jaime's CJ pages

2007-04-15T15:19:00.000-05:00

Dawn's CJ pages (Tropical)

2007-04-13T23:41:00.000-05:00

Here are Dawn's pages. Told you they would look familiar. I made do with the papers I had left, and I like the look of this one also. Just gorgeous paper.

Kim's Mexico CJ

2007-04-13T07:11:00.000-05:00

Here are Kim's Mexico pages. Barely anything more than paper, but I love the look. Two mats and one journaling block. You will see this same layout again with a little bit different tag as i am going to pick up another set of this paper for Dawn's tropical page.

Kathy B's CJ Pages

2007-04-13T05:32:00.000-05:00

These are for Kathy B.'s CJ. U for Unique and V for Vivacious. The U page was to have a photo mat. The V page is a pull out book with four pages for whatever.

Posting Connie's with grade level

2007-04-11T12:04:00.000-05:00

I ended up adding the grade to the pages for Connie. So here they are again.

Connie's cj pages "boys growing"

2007-04-11T10:01:00.000-05:00

Okay.... Here are Connie's pages. The journaling spots are very loosely down so she can computer journal if she wants.

kristine's cj page

2007-04-09T07:25:00.000-05:00

next one is kristine's "love" CJ page. it is only the first of two. they are different layouts, so the other one will not coordinate with this one.

Kathy R's CJ

2007-04-06T05:46:00.000-05:00

Here are my "Mom" pages for Kathy R.'s CJ.

trudi's cj pages

2007-04-05T13:02:00.000-05:00

These are the pages for Trudi's (Snowbunny's) Garden CJ. It took me forever to figure out what I wanted to do, but it ended up being fun to put together.

Melissa's CJ pages

2007-04-05T09:02:00.000-05:00

CJ pages for Danelle's Baby Shower book

2007-04-05T08:56:00.000-05:00

2007-04-05T08:40:00.000-05:00

I am posting these pages from a previous Disney autograph cj swap so current group can understand what I mean by the autograph book style. There are a lot of different ways to do it. The primary object is to make it obvious who the character is and give them a spot to sign in. Thanks for looking.
