haven't posted for months!!!!

this is a bag I made for a laptop. used my big shot....I think it turned out ok as I didn't have a pattern...

hotel riveria

using one of Greener Grass Designs templates....was too fun

8x8

 

this is a page I am doing for my gift book my bff gave me....20 pages and all I have to do is provide the pages.....too exciting.....

a littled altered

 

I ordered this from stampn up thinking it was for altering....well it comes pretty much complete...just need to add a picture.....my heart was set for some good altering....so this is what I ended up with

the real Betty Crocker is Malagasy

 

my first creation w/out a layout

 

gotta do some final things yet...like journal...gonna hold off on this for a while

 

I just cant figure out how to post them both together.....maybe

too simple?

 

I know there will be some of the pages that I will "tweek" before I have the book printed....I am sure (right now) that I like this one how it turned out.....

this is a great journey!!!!

the window

 

I had a hard time deciding what to use with these pictures. Went with these colors and flowers and frills ....because I felt they were in such contrast with the subjects that they actually like eachother.....whatcha think ?

I do like digi because even when it is done I can go back and change it....no adhesive issues.

Sunday creating

 

This layout I learned about different tools I hadn't tried before. This one only took an hour to do. I really like it. I did another page of the same pictures ....but is was an "early" attempt....and well...it just probably wont make the final cut!

gads this way seems to take forever

 

I am not sure if it is the amount of choices out there or if I am just not very good at this mode of scrapbooking, it just takes a long long time. As I do these photos I also get held in a memory daze...that could be some of the time issue. My note book that I used in Madagascar, that I am using for journaling. I have kept in a plastic baggie and when I take it out I can still smell Madagascar..........I than God today for my sense of smell....

invasion

 

of the abominable snow CHICKEN!!!!!!



just saying

an amazing woman

 

this picture is so so special to me. I will be doing another page of this visit and it will have the journaling....pray for this woman and he dr. husband.....they have the skills to save many many people...but no meds or diagnostic tools.....they are trained on many machines and are ready if they can ever get them

I just realized how bit this project is

 

I was going to make one album of Madagascar. Silly me. It will have to be volumes. Maybe one for each week. Maybe. Have to investigate if I need to have them all done at the same time so they all match, how many pages in each one.....

so here is one that I did tonight. and again I have stayed up way too long...nighty-night

I crack myself up

 

these will be my Valentines.....well if I can get anymore made.....can you imagine the ratio of cards to bags of dove dark chocolates????? well it is staggering!!!!

CS love

 

A big THANKS to Christina for making these kits available. these colors and theme are perfect for these pictures. I am loving your orange.... ;)

back at it

 

I am finally getting back to my Madagascar pages.....these are still the hardest pages to process and put down on "paper" I think I am going to just scan and copy my journal and put it in the back of the book...along with all my paper "things" I brought back

as soon as I post this.....

 

I am off to my scrapbook area!!!! but just had to brag about this.. It is from a kit I bought at Knit-Picks....and I have enough yarn to probably make two more!!!! too cool.....this one is for me.......
