Taylor Turns 11 - 2005

Another layout scraplifted from the Creating Keepsakes quick and easy book.

At Taylor's 11th birthday party, I showed the girls how to make a mini paper bag album. It was a HIT!

This 2-page layout brings my total number of pages to 126 for this year!

Pearl Harbor - Sept. 2009

One of our "must sees" was a tour of Pearl Harbor.

This layout was scraplifted from a Creating Keepsakes Quick and Easy type book.

View from Ourem Pousada - 07

These photos were taken from the window of our "pousada" (which means inn in Portuguese). These are the FIRST photos I have scrapbooked of our trip to Portugal in March of 2007. This pousada was a converted monastery in the town of Ourem.

This layout was almost totally scraplifted from one I saw on Two Peas in a Bucket using Websters paper.

Xmas Joy - 2007

This layout is based on the Dec. 12th sketch challenge on TPP. I used a couple of MAMBI papers and some inked grungeboard alphas.

The photos are of my 2 nieces (Melanie and Laura) and nephew (Ryan) taken Christmas Day 2007.

Siblings 07

Here we are on Christmas Day 2007....my younger sister, brother and I. A simple layout using a MAMBI (Me and My Big Ideas) paper and some chipboard alphas. Easy, peasy!

Aqua Bamboo - 09

Using the November Paper Passion kit and sketch 48 from 52sketches52weeks.com I did this layout up as a companion page to the "Ah..." layout.

This layout is of our first hotel in Hawaii, the Aqua Bamboo. The photos are of the view of our room and our pool.

Cyndi Lauper - 07

Another page for the Lip Synch Album.

This gal was supposed to play Cyndi Lauper at our Lip Synch event. Unfortunately, a few days before the event, she came down with vertigo and couldn't join us. Too bad! She put a lot of hard work into her act! She was definitely missed.

I wanted this layout to be fresh and funky, just like Cyndi's (and Carolyn's) personality.
