YB Designs: New Scrapbook Layouts

I finally have a chance to post some new scrapbooking layouts. YAY! This is going to be a long post, so sit back and enjoy! :) The first one is one of my favorites. :)

Santa Paws - Those are a few of the photos of Draco and Cassie from the other night when we dressed them up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Aren't they cute? :) They weren't too happy, but they didn't kill us! LOL

So Thankful 4 U - Melinda and I are so thankful for Cassie. She is such a sweet kitten and a joy.

You Gotta Have Friends - This was a template challenge at SM to scrap about something your grateful for and I am so grateful for my friends. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends.

Scalloped Corn - One of my favorite holiday dishes is an old family recipe for Scalloped Corn. This was for the recipe challenge at ScrapMatters.

Silly Kitten - A roadmap to scrap challenge at ScrapMatters. I used photos of Cassie laying on the cablebox. She can't lay on it anymore with the new TV and stand.

My Birthday Buddy - Another Tuesday template challenge at ScrapMatters to scrap about a special relationship. I scrapped about my Great-Uncle Bob who shares the same birthday as me. We've corresponded with each other since I was 10.

Remembering Anya - The Tuesday template challenge about a special relationship had me thinking about the relationship Melinda had with Anya. I found these pictures and knew I had to scrap them. Though there wasn't enough room on the layout to include all of the stories and memories I have of Anya.

Playtime - I have tried to scrap these photos a few times before, but have never been happy with the result. I used them to create a quick page for the December Quick Page exchange at ScrapMatters. I love the bottom photo. The expression on my face is priceless.

Smile - Later on Friday Cassie curled up on my lap and was sleeping so sweetly. I luckily had the camera next to me and was able to get some really cute shots. This is my favorite. I love how it looks like she is smiling. She slept on my lap for almost 2 hours. And this was after we dressed her up as Mrs. Claus so she still loves us! :) LOL

Christmas Traditions - This was the layout I did for Saturday night's Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters. I almost gave up on it when we had to include song lyrics for the journaling, but Melinda put on her Christmas CD and we found one that worked. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

O' Canada - This was the layout I created for one of the DIS challenges. Its about the Canadian pavillon at EPCOT.

Pinocchio's Village Haus - Another DIS challenge, this was dealt with food at Disney. I scrapped when we had lunch there in 2007. The food was excellent. Though I've heard they no longer have the paninni, which makes me sad.

Character Magic - This was for the challenge I'm hosting this week. The challenge was to use this really cute mini-kit that Britt made. I used photos from our 2005 of me and Pluto out front at the Magic Kingdom

Bubba Gump Shrimp - This was for a speed scrap at ScrapMatters. Melinda and I love Bubba Gump's. Its usually our first stop in Chicago. The one in Orlando is really good as well!

Minute Man National Historical Park - This was for a roadmap to scrap challenge at ScrapMatters. This is the intro page for the Minute Man park in Concord, MA.

Silent Sentries - This one was for another template challenge at ScrapMatters. I scrapped a few of my favorite monuments at Gettysburg.

Virginia State Monument - The Virginia State Monument at Gettysburg. This was the first Confederate monument built at Gettysburg.

Beauty - For a word-up challenge at ScrapMatters that was to make your own wordart. I used photos from the Lincoln Park Conservatory in Chicago, IL.

The Freedom Trail - This was for a Saturday special challenge at ScrapMatters to scrap a two page layout. I used this opportunity to create the intro page for the Freedom Trail in Boston. I was happy how it turned out because the paper layout I did for this is one of my favorites.
