Older Scrapbook Lay-Outs Movie

LOOKING BACK - A FEW OF MY FIRST LAY-OUTS

these are some of my first attempts at scrapbooking when i started about three years ago. my style has changed since then and has become more eclectic, trendy, adventurous, and more well-thought of in terms of design elements. will post more recent lay-outs soon.

pic 1 & 2: mike when he was a baby. he was a happy, beautiful baby. you should see him now! mike in kindergarten with his 8th grade buddy and classmate. those were memorable years. i was their school principal and we spent a lot of time going to school and leaving school together.

pic 3: cj's first time in disneyland. he was dancing with pluto. he loved disneyland and didn't want to leave.

pic 4: one of the joys of being an educator is seeing your former students grow up to be successful people. brent, a former 8th grade student, is here with leah on their engagement party. brent can't stop calling me mrs. walker, even if he's all grown-up! kinda embarrassing sometimes but i guess i'll always be mrs. walker, their strict but caring 8th grade teach.

pic 5: fashion show fundraiser for the boys in junior high. i choreographed the best entry of the day!

Spotlight: Tri-fold Card

This is a tri-fold card using recycled embossed leaves card which I cut out and transposed here. I used paper layering, collage, chalking to create this "My Dreams and Hopes" card/mini-journal. A side ribbon clasps the card. Tree braches are stamped all over the edge of the card which is chalked afterwards.

Here's a fun card to do. It's shaped like a wine and can be decorated in various ways.

Ebay Store

DH is not very happy with all my scrapbooking and paper craft goodies taking over the house. Now I have to use another room for my hobby. He agreed on the condition that I have to get rid of some of my stuff and budget the allotted space I have. So as much as I'm very hesitant to part with my art work, I have to. I'm slowly selling some at ebay. All profits will also go towards Hope4Children, the children's foundation that I have set-up to send books and toys to third world countries. TFL!
