Alex's 2 year photo shoot scrapbook cover

Good Afternoon!

I am finally getting around to scrapbooking my son's two year photo shoot! (he just turned six!!) There were soooo many pictures taken, that I decided to do an entire book. I had been saving several retired stamp sets and DSP just for this, so YEAH! I should have done them long ago, but a year of Home Hospice with my father and another year of recovering from a horrible tornado have seriously delayed me!!

This is a super simple layout, and it is the cover page in the scrapbook. I was able to print onto vellum and attach with eyelets. Just in case anyone is interested, I used the retired DSP "OUTLAW" for the background.

Thanks for checking in, and again for all of the kind comments and emails!!

Forever Young

Good Afternoon!

I think the Hoppy Memories Simply Scrappin Kit might just be one of my favorites! I used that, plus some Kiwi Kiss DSP, Chocolate chip Cardstock, Jumbo Brads, Hodgepodge Hardware, and Ribbon to create this two page layout.

I also followed the 5 elements recommendation from Angela Anderson, our fabulous Scrapbook Coordinator on SUDSOL. The 5 elements included in successful pages are:

1. Title
2. Pictures
3. Spot for Journaling
4. Embellishments
5. Mat (around pictures)

I should also thank the fabulous Jamie Schultz of http://www.jamieschultzphotography.com/
for taking such beautiful pictures of my favorite subject!


I finished this page layout by creating a pierced border around the cardstock, and a random photos or elements. I used the Piercing tool and template from the Mat Pack to do this.

Thanks for visiting!
