Cropin' in Virden

So I had the chance this past weekend to spend some "cropping" time with an awesome bunch of ladies in Virden.  I really enjoyed the conversations and ideas that each lady had.  Thanks gals!  It was a blast!

Here's one of the few layouts I did at this crop.  I was having more fun sharing stories, doing a demo and checking out everyone else's projects!

Beginners Scrapbooking Class

I've been putting together my beginners scrapbooking class and I've been having a great time creating my examples.   to put on in Oxbow and I've been having a great time!

Getting "Back in the Habit"

So I've been getting back into my scrapbooking after having Wyatt and I'm really having a blast.  I'm being inspired by everything from new stamps and punches to older papers that I forget I even had!  It's been a real treat to get some time to scrapbook and although it takes me a lot longer to finish a layout I have to say when it's finished I really do appreciate it more.  I've been organizing and sorting through my supplies and came across this photo of Preston from last year that I had to pull some of those older papers and make a layout of him "keeping cool in summer".  Enjoy!

Flip Flop Album

This is a mini album I've been working on for a tween class in Oxbow.  I just love how it came together.  I sure hope the kids enjoy making these neat albums.  My favorite thing is the "algae" looking fibre that I found in my stash and got super excited to use : )

Introducing...

Our Little Monkey!

I finally finished this layout today.  I started it before Wyatt was born so all I had to do is add the photos, but I needed my cricut for the title.  After I got it back from my mom I had so much stuff on my desk that I wasn't able to set it up LOL!  Well, I spent this weekend cleaning up my scrapbook area and clearing off my desk.  Although it's not completely clear I took some time out to complete this layout. 

This is a scraplift, but when I saw the original layout by Barbara Mahlmann I knew I had to make it for my own scrapbook.  Just click on her name and scroll down the page to view the original called Monkeying Around.
