Hey, Ya'll,
It's been a fun month. I'm still doing lots of yard work and most of our garden is planted. I've still been able to get quite a bit of scrapbooking done. Yay! This month I'm bringing you 2 fun layouts...one about Crazy Hair Night at Wednesday Kids Bible Study and one about my 8 year old's Treasures. I've been inspired by The Paperclipping Roundtable to document more than just events. So, I took a photo of my son's desk...where he keeps all his favorite things. Then I asked him to write about it. So, I have his favorite stuff and his hand writing from this time in his life.

Crazy Hair Night
For this one, I chose a retro-inspired 12 x 12 patterned paper for the background. Next, I added the vellum and the brown card stock strip down the right side. I attached both of those with staples. Then I adhered the 4 x 6 photos and used my wavy edge scissors on a piece of white card stock to form the decorative piece under the bottom photo. I used foam stamps and sepia StazOn for the title. Finally, I added the hand journaling.
Treasures
I used a plain piece of tan colored card stock for the back ground here. Next, I added the green card stock accent under the photos. I used my corner rounder on the photos and the accent card stock. The title is done with Making Memories rub-ons. The embellishment on the bottom right is done with a leftover punch out sheet.
See what I'm talking about.
What about next month?
You just never know. We'll see...stay tuned to

Until sometime around the middle of June
