I've Barely Had Time...

to scrap much of anything! However, I did get a couple layouts done on the weekend and I have another almost done. I've also got one to post that I did last month with the kit in the below post! Summer has really been crazy around here. I always think it will be slow but it NEVER is!! We've been running around pretty much the whole time and the brief breaks in between are filled with preparation for the next thing! I think fall will be a nice break!

This was for a challenge to scrap a vacation itinerary. I think I'll use this as the first page of my Hawaii book. I love how it turned out, even though I was unsure right up to the last second.

I did this page for a speed scrap. All the instructions were lining up and I had this vision in my head of a nice clean page with the focus on this adorable photo of my two youngest and then she threw in an instruction to use 20 elements!! That threw a monkey wrench in but I managed.

This last page is about my youngest's first word. I know it's strange, but it was purple. Yep, you got it. Purple. I had also gotten this kit with such gorgeous purple colours in it that I had to use it for something! Have I mentioned that I love purple?

So, that's basically what I've got done in the last few weeks (except one I'm not posting...gotta have some surprises when people see my book!) and one I'm working on now (and it's a doozy!).

Until next time...
