Have done a few as gifts but not that many. Very few altered projects but am planning a tp roll album for fun!Sandi Clarksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729870023270925618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482072187125117378.post-36802054078884024092010-04-30T18:10:36.691-07:002010-04-30T18:10:36.691-07:00I truly enjoy scrapbooking any pictures of my daug...I truly enjoy scrapbooking any pictures of my daughter. I take a multitude of them, lol! My second love is cards and Basic Grey works so well for them.Shawninazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090246967496451761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482072187125117378.post-89480458492780133812010-04-30T15:05:47.958-07:002010-04-30T15:05:47.958-07:00I love to scrap mini-albums of my son doing sports...I love to scrap mini-albums of my son doing sports and other activities.

I love the flowers in ...Those layouts are gorgeous. I love the flowers in both of them - they turned out great! I love flower clusters.<br /><br />I prefer scrapbooking for other people and so have only done one layout for myself in the last year. It was of my husband, who I adore. We took some pictures at his work since it is such a huge part of who he is. He loves what he does.<br /><br />The other projects I've done have been for other people. I love scrapping gifts for people. In the past year, I have made 3 wedding albums, 1 baby book, 1 book done in vintage style for my friend's birthday, a Blue's Clues birthday mini album and a ton of layouts featuring my niece(I got her mother addicted to scrapbooking, yay!). I am currently working on an album for my father-in-law featuring photos of his wife who died 5 years ago. I am having the toughest time with this project because I miss her so much, but it has been very cathartic in a way, too. In 2005 (the year she died), I made 2 identical family albums for my husband and his brother. This past Christmas my father-in-law asked if he could have one as well. I felt very touched he wanted me to work on it so it is my pleasure to give him this - it's just...tough. I wish so badly that she were still alive. On a brighter note, the one thing about this album I love so far is seeing how my scrapbooking skills have really grown in the last 5 years. I look back on that album I made 5 years ago and chuckle. While I'll always love it, I don't think I used a single sheet of patterned paper and all of my elements were floating. In general, I am pretty pleased with how this one is turning out, design wise. This is rare for me. It is hard for me not to compare my work with the work of others I see in magazines or on-line galleries, but when you have a project like this, where you are comparing your work of 5 years ago to your work of today - both featuring the same subject matter - you can only compare your own work. It has been really enlightening to see how much I have learned. I love this hobby.Mariekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392503368241493297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482072187125117378.post-53853221543714403462010-04-30T11:46:46.877-07:002010-04-30T11:46:46.877-07:00I love photos of my children doing "nothing&q...I love photos of my children doing "nothing".

I try to plan something for us to do every weekend that is different so they don't get bored going to the zoo and the park all the time. And besides..everything is a photo op and I love to try different things..so I NEED different pics!Wendy https://www.blogger.com/profile/09582378728562388890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482072187125117378.post-34356736569440961262010-04-30T07:22:48.279-07:002010-04-30T07:22:48.279-07:00Oh wow, these pages are great!

LOL! too cute!<br />Sometimes I worry about a line that sounds really "themed" but you did great with these pages and I love the elegant look! <br /><br />MY favorite thing to scrap...my babies, of course! But what I really do enjoy so much is scrapping holiday pages DURING that holiday..makes the season even more fun! So I hold my photos until the following year so I can scrap them and then reminisce!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
