Scrapbook Layouts Galore!!!

WOW! I haven't posted in quite a while. Life has been pretty busy and hectic. Anyways, I'm just going to get to the layouts.

Britt released a template pack this week inspired by 4 of my layouts!!!



These are the layouts that inspired them:



I used one to scrap this page of Melinda and I playing in the Atlantic Ocean in York, ME. It is also for Britt's "Everyday Magic" challenge at ScrapMatters

Simply Joys



Last week Britt teamed up with Erica Zane to create this AMAZING mega kit, "Itty Bitty."



Here are two layouts I scrapped with it:

Little Girl Blue - A photo of Melinda when she was little. I love her hair in the photo, its so cute!



Where Valor proudly sleeps - The 116th Pennsylvania Infantry monument at Gettysburg National Military Park. The title is a line from the poem "Bivouac of the Dead."



And two weeks ago Britt released a really cute alpha, "Plastickle Me."



I recolored it and used on this layout: Mr and Mrs Incredible - Photos of Melinda and I with Mr. and Mrs. Incredible at Disney MGM Studios from January 2007.



A few weeks ago I got a code for a free 8x8 photobook from Shutterfly. Since I had quite a few layouts done already, I decided to do a phootbook all about Cassie. So I had to do a few more layouts.

Bird Watching - This was for one of the Tuesday Template challenges at ScrapMatters. Cassie loves watching the birds from my bedroom window.



Cassie's Tree - When we take Cassie out for a walk we normally will stop by the tree where we found her. This was for a Saturday Special challenge at ScrapMatters about layering.



Hello? Is anywhere there? - This was for a Grand Theft Layout challenge at ScrapMatters. I love these photos of Cassie playing with the phone.



All month long at ScrapMatters they have been doing a daily download of a fabulous kit, "Girls Rock." I finally got a chance to scrap with it.

Rock on! - Photos of Melinda and I at the Triple Play concert from 2007 in Grand Rapids.



Let's Go Red Wings! - For the other "Everyday Magic" challenge in January at ScrapMatters was to scrap your favorite outfit, I scrapped my Red Wings jerseys.



Time Flies - 2008 - I finally finished this layout of a review of some of the memorable events from 2008.







It's a Small World - This was for the challenge at the DISboards and for a "Grand Theft Layout" challenge at ScrapMatters. I used photos from my mom's trip in 1969 and from our 2008 trip.



Pinnochio's Daring Journey - This was for a DISboards challenge from a few weeks ago. Photos from the ride at Disneyland.



I've also done a few other Gettysburg layouts.

Beloved Companion - The 11th PA Infantry monument at Gettysburg National Military Park. The main feature of this monument is the bronze figure of their beloved mascot, Sallie. This was for a "Roadmap to Scrap" challenge at ScrapMatters.



By a comrade's grave - This was for a Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters. The title is the name of the monument. This is the monument for the 38th Pennsylvania Infantry (9th Reserves) at Gettysburg National Military Park.



Major General John Buford - For the daytime Speed Scrap the other day at ScrapMatters. The portrait statue of Major General John Buford at Gettysburg National Military Park.



And one last layout: The Stairs - This was for a "Tuesday Template Challenge" at ScrapMatters. The theme was to scrap about something you overcame or accomplished. I scrapped about climbing the stairs at Colonial Michilimackinac since I have always been afraid of those.



That is all of the new layouts from the past few weeks. I'm hoping to get some paper scrapbooking done tomorrow. I really need to get to work on my Disneyland book before we go to Florida in March.

Later!
