Two More Layout A Day Pages

Here's two more scrapbook pages done for Layout A Day.  This time I took some old slides that my Dad had taken of Hubby's Special Forces Water Jump.  I had converted them to digital files several years ago and wanted to get them scrapbooked for the Sergeant Major (yes, that is my husband's retired rank).  

All his Special Forces buddies will get a kick out of seeing some of these old photos.  Yes, that is the Sergeant Major in his leopard print swim trunks.  Stunning aren't they?  My daughter died laughing when she saw photos of him in these swim trunks.  Styles do change (thank goodness)!

Happy Crafting!

Layout a Day (LOAD)

I signed up again to do a Layout A Day (LOAD) with Lain Ehmann.  The prompts are really leading me to some interesting pages.  Here are the first two I did.

The first prompt was about children's books.  This was one book I loved to read to my daughter.  It makes me cry everytime I read it - because the young man grows up and hold his aging mother in his arms and sings this back to her.  Kleenex alert!

The prompt for this one was about the "Goodnight Moon" book.  It sent me off in a direction of stargazing.  When our family camps in August we always take advantage of the "dark skies" of our camping area to enjoy the Perseid Meteor Show.

Happy Crafting!

LOAD Day 6

More Layout a Day with Laine Ehmann.  Still working on Day 5 will post when I finish it.  The prompt for today was "Misheard Lyrics."  The Louie Louie song by the Kingsmen was so popular in the mid 1960s.  I can't help but think that much of the popularity was the rumor of "obscene lyrics." (Never proved)

A digital page today using Creative Memories "Rock Star" kit and Panstoria Artisan Software.

LOAD DAY 4

Day 4 of Layout a Day with Lain Ehmann.  Today's prompt was about VIPs.  The VIP for today was "Dear Santa."  I attended ScrapFest 2012 at Mall of the America and acquired this Christmas Scrapbook kit by Little Yellow Bicycle.  I decided it was time to put it to work.  This was my very first picture with Santa.  The five things I love about Christmas are Family, Ravioli (our families Christmas meal), Music (Carols), Decorating and Presents!

LOAD DAY 3

Day 3 of the Layout A Day class with Lain Ehmann.  Today's prompt was pastimes, "Mom I'm Board."  No board is not misspelled.  We were to document board games in our past.  Yatzee immediately came to mind as we played this a lot as kids and now play it on our camping trips.

This time I went digital as opposed to paper.  I downloaded the picture of the Yahtzee pad from the internet.  The background paper is from my Club Scrap "Big Deal" digital kit.  The dice, notepad and label are from various kits from the Digital Scrapbook Place (DSP).  I used Panstoria's Artisan Software to make my digital pages.

LOAD Day 2

Continuing with my Layout A Day Class with Lain Ehmann.  The prompt today was places "If these walls could talk."  I have been wanting to scrap these two photos from my Freshman Year dorm room.  Finally got it done!

This was a fun one to scrap!  I enjoyed going back to my flower child days!  The cardstock and paper are from the Close to My Heart "Dream Pop" kit from last year.  

Happy Crafting!

Layout A Day LOAD

I signed up for the Layout A Day with Lain Ehmann.  She gives you a prompt and you have to finish a Layout in one day.  Here is my first one.  I'll do one a day for the month.  The prompt was "In the News."  She mentioned 911 when she was giving the prompt.  It hit a nerve since I was right by the Pentagon on that day.  Ten years later I wrote a three page story of my experience.  It is in a pocket on the back of this page.  The information from this page came from the Colorado National Guard Website on the 10th Anniversary.

I mounted it on some Bazzil newsprint.
