Scrapbooking

I got a lot of layouts finished today, 45 to be exact. Some of those just needed journaling finished up, but still I finished 45 pages. Janette and Amanda would be proud!

Fortunately for my pictures, I've been doing much simpler pages than I used to. Paper piecing and cut out letters aren't nearly as popular as they used to be. Not that I don't still enjoy scrapbooking with the "old ways". But I don't have time! Maybe one day when I catch up I can go back to more paper piecing.

Ha! Catch up! That's funny:) So many pictures. . .but at least they're organized:)

This is who I have been scrapbooking for:

She loves to be talked to now. Sometimes it's not enough to put her in her bouncy seat or swing. She wants to have conversation. So as I type, I try to talk to her at the same time. And of course, I don't mind:)

A quick layout I did of some pictures of Justin. I took these when he was eating peas & carrots while I was visiting in February.

Florence

Another Italy layout. Quick and simple. I think I'm going to have to break down and get another book for Italy. I'm getting too many layouts! I really didn't want to have to do that!

Firenze (Florence) duomo

Another layout I finished earlier this week. The map on the right page is of Florence that I found online and printed.

Italy layouts

A couple more Italy pages. I really like how they turned out, but I spelled Siena wrong in the title. Oh well, at least it's finished! It fit better with 2 n's anyway!

Italy title page

This is the title page to my Italy scrapbook. The quote reads: "You may have the universe if I may have Italy." The bottom corner says June 2004.

Capella Sistina

I did this layout for my Italy scrapbook not too long ago. The library pocket has a journal box and my ticket to the museum. I don't have many pictures of the Sistine Chapel b/c we weren't allowed to take any. So these are postcards. Did you know that postcards at the Vatican gift shop cost about 1 euro??? That's more than one American dollar! Crazy!
