Beach, School, Study, Repeat!

Happy Scrap It Friday!!

Today I thought I would share another page out of my Long Beach, Mississippi Beach Album. It’s a page I put together to make as my title page for my scrapbook. Though simple to make, it sums everything about my album up into one page; more or less at least. The title on the is my description for what’s in this album — “Beach, School, Study, Repeat!” — it’s basically all I did! Continue reading “Beach, School, Study, Repeat!”

You are the Anchor to my Heart…

It’s Scrap It Friday again!

The Weekend is HERE!!

I LOVE the beach (in case you haven’t noticed!), in fact; I plan to one day (hopefully sooner, rather than later) have my wedding on a beach. So today I made a double page layout with a beachy theme. Since today is my parent’s wedding anniversary, I thought it would be just right to do a wedding type layout; but make it for someone who plans or has had a beach wedding, like me. The layout’s name is “You are the Anchor to my Heart.” I also thought this would be a nice layout type for two sets of people I know who got married this summer either on a cruise or somewhere on a beach.

Beach Braggin’ Tag Album…

It’s SCRAP IT FRIDAY Again!

Save Everything Scrapbooking

Happy Friday once again and Scrap It Friday y’all!

Okay tell the truth!  If you are a scrapbooker you save basically everything — maps of aquariums, zoos, school schedules, etc.  If you have pets and scrapbook them (and I know you do!) you probably save things such as their first collars from when they were a puppy or kitten.  For your kiddos, well I don’t have kids yet but I know my mom saved things my sister and I made when we were in kindergarten.  Grand it, she hasn’t made those albums yet but I have my file folder in my closet for safe keeps either until she’s ready to make my album or I eventually make it myself (though I’m still working on pictures from when I lived in Long Beach, MS but haven’t even touched the pictures when I visited my sister in France in 2010. ?

The THEN & NOW of Scrapbooking

Happy “Scrap It Friday

my fellow Scrappers!

It’s not only Friday, it’s also the start of 4th of July Weekend!  I hope everyone has a great but safe one!!

For this post I wanted to show and compare the way scrapbook pages were made before scrapbooking became so popular.  As I have said in previous posts, I have been scrapbooking since I was in 5th grade.  Though I can’t seem to find my very first scrapbook, I have found my scrapbook from 8th grade.
