More New Pages

I know pretty much all of my posts lately have been new scrapbook pages. sorry! That's just the only thing I've made time to blog about these days. Right now my life is pretty busy but all in good ways - making time for school work, making time for myself and my hobbies... which is why you are seeing more scrapbook pages! :) I do have other things I want to post about but I just haven't been making that much time for blogging lately. I have a friend coming to visit me again this weekend, so I'm sure I'll have new pics and fun things to blog about when she leaves :) For now... enjoy the pages!

Wedding Summary Page:
Our wedding, crammed onto 2 pages. LOL! I plan to do an entire album, but I wanted a summary layout to put into my 2009 album to acknowledge this important even in our year :)

First Wedding Page

While this may not actually go in the wedding album, it is the first page I've done with one of our wedding photos. This is a whole new scrapping style for me. This is more the "fantasy" style whereas I usually do traditional paper style. I've never done a photo extraction before and it took forEVER!! Haha. But I am pretty happy with the result.

Here's the photo I started with for the extraction:

Two New Layouts

Do you ever buy a kit, or get it in a grab bag, and think.... I might use this once... and then it turns out to be extremely versatile?! Well for me that kit is Dani Mogstad's Softly Falling. I got it as part of my purchase of The Digi Files #8. So averaged out, it cost me maaaybe 75 cents? lol and I have used it on some great pages already.

I really thought with the fall theme, and the fact I dont' really take fall photos much, this would not get much use. But I've already used it on this layout and this layout too. And now, a 3rd one!!

Bridesmaid Spa Day Layout

I must have found my mojo because I got another layout done today!!

This is from the day I had with my bridesmaids before the wedding. We had mani/pedi's at the Omni spa followed by lunch at the Huckleberry Tea Room. It was such a fun day!

Bachelorette Party Layout

Finally a new scrapbook page!! It's been two months since I last scrapped :( I really need to be scrapping more often as I just love it so much! Not to mention I have so much to do!

It took me a while to do this page because I wanted to find the right kit! I'm really happy with how it came out.

And at least I've done ONE more layout for the Greece & Turkey album. I doubt I'll finish that album before the wedding like I had hoped to, but I'm going to do as much as I possibly can!!!!

Ian has his D&D game with his friends this Saturday night, so I will be scrapping scrapping scrapping. That'll give me a good 6-7 hours. I think I'll go to the coffee shop so I can focus and have less distractions, make sure I get a lot done. I would hope to do two or three 2-page layouts in that time if I am really focused!

Live in Color

Yesterday I did a quick scrapbook page that I'd like to share:

This colorful page is a perfect celebration of Sarah and how colorful, zany, and wonderfully weird she is. What a great friend.
She and I had a long and much needed talk today and I am just so happy to have her.
