I spent the day home sick, so this one is kind of boring. I was going for an Olympics feel with the rings around the pictures & Chinese character on Page 1. What do you think?

Here is my very first attempt. I don't absolutely love it, but I think it's okay.

It was way harder to fit 12 pictures on one page than I expected!



Pictures are from: revising my diagnostic reports, eating at the Brick Oven, boat tour of Town Lake, picnic in Zilker Park, preparing for my Primary lesson, and watching a production of "Beauty and the Beast" all in celebration of my birthday which was three days later.

Materials: bg paper is from the free Martha Stewart kit on twopeas

A New Frontier

About a month or so ago I got into digital scrapbooking. If I remember correctly, it all started when I clicked on a link for "free blog background papers" or something to that end. What it lead me to was ShabbyPrincess.com, a site that offers free digital scrapbooking kits. I downloaded some goodies and tucked them neatly away into their own folder on my computer.

A couple weeks later I stumbled upon the 12-of-12 challenge. I LOVE taking pictures and I love journaling. It seemed like a fun and unique way to combine the two, so with that I began my digital scrapbooking hobby. This blog will most likely be devoted to just scrapbooking, a way to share my layouts with others. I hope you enjoy them!
