3 Scrapbook pages

[gategrrl]

And for those who are interested here are the three pages I submitted to Crazy Daisy. Today is the day they decide for sure who is going to be on their design team. Frankly, I don't think I'll make the team, but hey, at least I tried, you know? I'll probably submit them to readers blog for Creating Keepsakes magazine. The magazines tend to prefer layouts with lots of crap on them (some kit companies in particular love so much stuff on the pages you can barely see the photographs) but that's not my current style.

 1992: Two photos from one of my Japan visa trips when I worked in Korea. There's another version of the lower photograph with a deer poking its head out between the stone lamps.

  1995: My sister visited our grandparents in Florida with her kids. I think it's the only photo I have of my grandparents together, and alive. Big bonus that my sister is in the photograph, too.

 2005: Mermaid and Little Guy (who is now Tall Boy). Notice the stamped wings on their heads. Which ones are the devils, and which ones are the angels? Heheheh, I'll never tell. One of my all-time favorite pages because damn. Those are my kids!

I'll put up some of the pics I took of the minialbum I made of Goldy. I liked how that turned out.

Wow. These pages are gorgeous. I saw your post about not making it, so I realized I'd missed some posts and came back to look at this. Not much consolation, but I really like your pages. :-)

When I was doing scrapbooking, I also liked to highlight the photos, but my pages were very plain, but I also included some journaling on most of the pages and maybe some colors to frame and/or highlight the photos. Nothing like this, though.

Thank you very much! If you can believe it my pages are really simple and not very va-voom when compared to the women (and some men) who really really really put their designing mojo into their pages. Along with lots of ribbon, and ruffled ribbons, and whatever else is "in".

Also, I LOVE papers (just take a look [blushes] at my huge stash of papers.
