I really need to get better at posting these layouts. Here are the ones I did since last time I posted. At least I was only 2 weeks behind this time.

This week was dominated by things breaking. It was the furnace still on the fritz, the Wii sensor bar, and the cable remote. Of course the cable box also has no manual way of changing channels. Who thought of that? And if we don’t have the box, we only get the first few channels, not all of them. Talk about a racket. At least everything also got fixed last week.

I also found a couple of still lifes set up by the boys randomly around the living room. The action figures on the book shelf I think were Zach’s doing. Aaron can reach up there, but not well enough to place those figures so accurately. Aaron’s still life is the construction equipment, dinosaur, kleenex box, and cookie on the coffee table. I had my last orthodontist appointment ever (unless I have an issue with my permanent hardware) and we stopped and got some of those yummy cookies while we were back up at the old house.

Again I’ve been inspired by my ongoing Project 365. I really hope I stick with it the whole year without losing my mojo. Here’s my layout for January 15-21.

Scrapbooking

I’ve been on a roll lately. It’s a nice feeling after not scrapping for so many months. Here are a couple more layouts I’ve done recently. I’ve been doing a lot of template scrapping as well. It doesn’t seem as daunting of a task to me if I have a template. I guess it’s the first step in getting my mojo back.

Project 365 Week 1

Amanda — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:08:00 +0000

I know, I know, week 2 just ended (I’m running my weeks by number of days). I haven’t scrapped that page yet. I can’t get it to all fall into place like I want it to. Who knew scrapping so many photos would be hard? I think it’s the randomness of the photos. I had a bright idea about 2am today, so I’m not even sure this page is done yet. But here it is as it stands now.

I Scrapped!

Amanda — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:46:00 +0000

I actually scrapped a layout this morning. This is the first real layout I’ve done in almost 2 months. You can see what fun a roll of toilet paper, commandeered from the new package Mommy didn’t put in the bathroom yet, can provide an 18 month old.

For this layout, I used Lliella’s Austin kit and Austin Add On, and Life’s Quotables 2 by Jen Maceyunas for the word Art.

Layout Dilemma

Amanda — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:59:00 +0000

So I started scrapping this layout of my son with a caterpillar. I can’t decide if I like the horizontal or the vertical better, and both layouts are missing something, but I can’t put my finger on it. Any suggestions?

I Scrapped! – Again

Amanda — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:23:00 +0000

I was able to get 2 whole layouts done yesterday. I’m rather impressed with myself after a lack of scrapping lately. I’ve noticed my scrapping is directly proportional to the amount of pictures I take. I really should delve into that pile of pictures I have from film and scan and scrap many of those too. But, did I mention I scrapped 2 layouts yesterday?

I do want to mention that during the thought process of scrapping these layouts I was going through my CT stuff and looking through Rose’s store to see if anything struck my fancy yesterday when I noticed that Rose has a brand new template pack up for sale. I’m sorry, but I just love her templates. Who else sells 30 templates for $10? You do the math. It’s a bargain. So if you’re interested, check them out at Rose’s Scrapper’s Zone store.

Ok, ok, the layouts. It’s all about the layouts, isn’t it? As always, click for full credits.

The first one I did I got the kick in the butt from Oscraps and the challenge from Sue Cummings. I’ll be honest. I’m in it for the coupons LOL. I don’t even care if I win any of the prizes. I’d probably pee myself if I actually got chosen to be published. There’s some awesome layouts over there that have already been submitted and it goes until the 30th, so I can only imagine what else will be submitted by then.

The second layout I was inspired by the first. I was just on a roll at that point. Z has finally learned how to tie his shoes on his own. That’s been a big thing in our house amongst the loose teeth and other 1st grade stuff. This is a different sort of layout for me too, but I like how it came out.
