Day 1: Hollywood Studios

I'm plowing through my Disney pages, and I like it! I still haven't gotten around to doing my cruise album from 2008. I'm such a procrastinator. I'm happy at least one of the trips is getting done. I might have to switch to digital for the Cruise to get it out of the way too.

Anywho. Here's a 2-page spread of "Day 1", which we spent at Hollywood Studios. Paper is from A Work In Progress (Berrylicious) and the template is from Yin Designs templates (#87).

Birthday Boy

Voila! Another digital scrapbooking page. This one saved my butt as I wasn't prepared with any photos/paper to cart to our weekly scrappy night this past week. Papers are shabby princess (happy go lucky) and the template is by Yin.

I had to tweak the "Rustic" alpha of the "nine" because the N's had freakishly long stems, and the title looked like: "hihe". That wouldn't do. Also, I belatedly discovered a secret cache of Eric's trip photos that were overlooked, so the page will probably be modified yet again.

Disney hotel

Here's my latest digitally scrapbooked page. It took me a couple of hours one night to put it together and it would've taken a lot less time had my laptop not been brutally slow chugging away on all the big files! Stupid craptop.

The template is a Mandagirl template (#20) and the papers are from a free Carrie Stephens kit called "Spontaneous Delight". I think some of the embellishments are from an A Work In Progress kit called "About a Boy"

Another digiscrap page

I've decided that our family photos from Disney are going to be captured in a digital album. Here's the title page for the book:

The papers are from a free kit I found online at SeeBee's Freebies.

Back to school, 2008

Here's the last of my recently pounded out scrapbook pages for 2008 (and no, I'm not done the year yet).

Again I was too lazy to extricate the finished pages from the album before photographing. I have a good excuse though; the album is so overfull right now it's almost impossible to get pages in and out of the sleeves without damaging them. Once they're in, they stay in. I need to get some post extenders to give myself a little more room to manoeuver.

Again, all the shapes have been cut out using the Silhouette. Papers are from... Michaels (red and blue) and Dollarama (patterns).

Birthday gurrrrl

OK. Now I'm just getting lazy; I didn't even bother to pull this spread out of my album before photographing it! Tsk. Tsk. This is another group of photos from my 2008 cache; Adina's 6th birthday (the actual day-of, rather than the bowling party which happened weeks later).

Papers are from a My Mind's Eye slab wish is just beyond pretty. Shapes all cut with my silhouette, except the corner vines which are from my cuttlebug.

Run for the Cure

Run for the Cure pages are always so garish, simply due to the abundance of pink. Feh. Shapes cut with the silhouette. Paper from some Walmart slab I've had lying around forever.

Why are there no pictures of me actually running? Because I ran alone and my spectators didn't arrive until after I had finished the race. Woot.

Another one. DONE.

Desperately hacking away at the 2008 pages

I realized late in 2009 that there wasn't a chance in heck that I was going to get my 2008 pages done before a new year rolled around unless I lowered my standards and started pounding out pages at a prodigious rate.

The next few posts will share some of my latest projects. They're not great, but they're DONE.

I can assure you I had not intended for Adina's birthday bowling page to be orange, but I was scrapping on the road for this one and realized the only coloured 12x12 paper I had brought with me were two sheets of orange. (sigh). All the goodies have been cut out using my Silhouette. I used the fiskars circle cutter to cut the photos into circles. The patterned paper is Moxxie paper which I picked up at the Scrapbook Emporium.
