a few new ones




Trying my hand at the banner trend. It's actually a Bazzill border die cut that I snipped into a little bit to get it to curve a little bit.

Poor Neglected Blog

Poor blog. Alright, here is the 2009 vacation album, mostly done. It's weird; I really wasn't that excited to go on this trip, and not all that enthused to scrapbook it. Rick thinks something is wrong with me.

Breckenridge. Been moving this poor tree die cut around since 2000.
Rocky Mountain National Park. I like the layout of it. I'll probably use it again in the future.
There should be another pic before this one, of Independence Rock and a story of how we used to climb it as kids and how it was neat to share that with the boys. I'll get there eventually. The left side is glitter paper and it took about 3 tries to get everything to stay adhered. Becky Higgins sketch.
Eh.
Slowly using up all my BG Motifica paper.
One of my favorites for this album.
Sigh, I really don't like it. It will get redone, eventually.
Got to use one of my favorite lines, MME Back Porch. Can't decide if I'm going to put anything at the top.
This one's not really any further than when I asked for design help. I have no problem with placing paper and pics, but titles and journaling are killing me lately.
I like how this one turned out. More MME Back Porch.
KF paper and title. Got the title specifically for these pics; didn't realize until I was putting it together that the stacked titles are 9" across and have to be trimmed for my pages.
Been waiting to use CC Mr. Campy.
The Grandpa title is metal, so had to turn the flash off.
Slowly making my way through the KI stuff I bought ad nauseum at Joanns. It actually worked pretty well for these pics.
I can't decide if I find this layout unbalanced or not. Love the turquoise/red combo. I didn't want to put too much on the left side because I wanted the paper to show.
Love the blue/brown combo, too. The blue strips are leftovers from the previous layout.
Really didn't know what to do with these pics. Used the photo of the sign board to tell the journaling.
Finally got to use some of the CC Wanted paper.
This is what finally convinced me to call a moratorium on the album. All it needs is the title and to fill in the journaling blocks-- and I can't make myself do it.
