Greece Scrapbook Complete!!

Sooooo happy to finally be able to say that my Greece and Turkey scrapbook is DONE!! I actually finished it last week. Now it has all been printed, I made a photo for the window on the cover of the album, and even attached a pocket at the back of the scrapbook to keep my souvenirs in.

New Greece & Turkey Pages

The past couple days I've been getting my scrapping groove back! My friend Chrissy and I both have albums we want to finish so we are really focusing on that. I realized I had about 10 layouts left to do to completely finish my Greece & Turkey album. Since that trip was 3 years ago it is really time to get it done!! I can't wait to have it all finished... then I can start on our Alaska trip that was already over a year ago.... lol.

Anyway, here are all of my new pages!

Poppy Field Photos

At the end of our day of geocaching in Estes Park, we pulled off to the side of the road where we spotted a beautiful little cluster of orange poppies. Always ones to look for a photo opportunity, we just couldn't pass it up! Simply by getting on the other side of them, we were able to enjoy a view of the mountains behind them, with the setting sun filtering through them and creating a glow.


I really wanted a good picture of me to document where I'm at right now in the weight loss process... and of course, being way into facebook and everything else online, I'm always on the lookout for a new profile pic! He took a lot of me - and I took a few of him too. :) We had such a fun time. It's amazing the experiences you can have if you are just keeping a lookout for them. The smallest thing like a little cluster of poppies off the side of the road can be a great photo opportunity and a really nice memory, too.



For once I've already done the scrapbook page of these photos, too! I got together with a new friend last weekend and managed to get two pages done (other one coming soon to the blog) :) So here is the scrapbook page I created of these photos....

New Layouts & Fabulous Templates!

It's been a while since I've done any scrapping... the hip and back pain I've been dealing with make it hard to sit at my computer for long. I'm happy to report the chiropractic treatments are really beginning to help... and I was able to scrap this week! I also had a little extra motivation because my lovely friend Yin was about to be coming out with a plethora of new templates, and since I am on her CT I got to play with them ahead of time and make some fun new layouts!!

The first one I did is from when we made pumpkin pie from scratch this past November.

Homemade Pumpkin Pie

This uses Yin's template #191 which has just been released!


And here is Yin's layout of this template:


My next layout is for part of my Greece & Turkey album. This page is sort of a collection of people and fun photos that don't really fit into the rest of the book very well. I just collected them all onto one fun page of memories :)

Memories (Contiki Group)

This uses Yin's template #193 which is available here.


Here's Yin's beautiful layout of this template:


And finally, my favorite of this bunch. This template is amazing! This layout is from our visit to Arches National Park in Utah, this past October.

Arches National Park, Utah

Brought to you by Yin's template #194, on sale and available here.


Now for Yin's gorgeous layout:


Aren't these amazing? Yin put out ELEVEN new templates this week! She has hit #200 and to celebrate she is having a fantastic sale!! I have always stocked up at these sales in the past, they are really so generous. Hope you get to take the opportunity to get some new goodies!


You can check out her new blog entry with all the new layouts HERE ... or go directly to the store to enjoy the sale HERE!

In addition, she is giving away 3 fabulous freebie templates!! So that's another great reason to go check out her blog post :)




Yes I'm on Yin's creative team, but I just want to be clear that I feel like I've been her biggest fan ever since I started scrapping. I only started working with her recently and before that I've purchased almost every single template she's made. I absolutely love them and my reason for promoting her so much here is NOT because she has asked (she never asks!) but because I love her products so much, truly enjoy them, and like to let people know about them so that they can get that same enjoyment! :) I really wanted to post about the sale because it's such a great opportunity :)

Sale goes until April 18th!

Glenwood Springs Layouts

I have been really sick ever since I got back from Chicago! I am finally getting better, but I'm really behind on a lot of things... like posting layouts, and posting ABOUT my trip to Chicago!! Today I finally finished the last layout of my Glenwood Springs series, so I am now ready to share all of them. :)

Big surprise, I have used Yin's Templates on every single one of these layouts... hehe!! I wanted a nice cohesive look to them since they are all from the same trip.

This trip in September 2009 was only 3 days long, and only a few hours from home... but there were SO MANY photographs that I just really wanted to do all these separate layouts! It was the weekend of my hubby's birthday, and we went to do this really tough hike we had been talking about since we met. He had done it before, but I never had. In the shape we are in, this was really really difficult... but also so rewarding! We love nature and photography so this was incredible for us. Someday when our health is improved I want to do this again to see how much easier it will be. :)

Alright... on to the layouts! I usually post the 2-page view as well as both pages separately, but as that would make for SO MANY PHOTOS in this case, I am only posting the 2-page view. You can click the 2-pager to view it larger, and I will provide links underneath to see the left and right sides individually if you want to :)














So there we have it!! I did most of these before I got sick but I was waiting to be all done and post them together :) Finally got the last one fnished today. Let me know what you think!!

Next I think I'm going to do some more work on my Greece & Turkey album... the trip was in 2007 and the album is nowhere near done... and I would really like to complete it!
