This layout is from a workshop that my up-line Brandy Jo did. I changed the title to fit with my pictures. I had my children journal with me. I have written it using the exact words they used. Here is what we wrote:
I wrote - Once my son watched the Jedi training that's all he wanted to do. We waited and waited, but each time he was not chosen. It killed me when my daughter was chosen instead of him. I know it made him sad to sit and watch her do what he wanted to do so badly! After it was over he told me that they probably didn't pick him because he already knew how to use a light saber and fight like a Jedi. I took my kids to the gift shop to buy a light saber of their own. My son was finally happy.
My son wrote - When my sister got chosen I was jumping like a wild monkey and screaming like a wearwolf because I wanted to go up there but I didn't. The oldest kids up there did not now what he did with the life saber, but I now what he did. I will tell you what he did he swang it back and forth in front of his face 3 times, then stabed it. I was mad that I did not go up there and my sister did. I was wondering how Darthvaders life saber was like it was on T.V.
My daughter wrote - I trieTd to mack my brother raise his hand to get him up there. it was fun Jedi training! I was afrad? it was fun playing! it was fun Playing with the lifesaver I got uyoust to it!

Back to School - Kindergarten
This layout is from a workshop that my up-line Brandy Jo did. I know it's another school layout, but I needed to scrapbook my daughter's pictures from last year. I had to change the layout to make it work for my pictures.

Cowboy
This layout was designed by Charissa W. and was part of a swap at Brandy Jo's 2008 Fall Scrapbook Retreat. The two smaller layouts are 6X12 and go in the center of the 12X12. What a neat idea to include some extra pictures. I added the cowboy silhouettes and title. I got the idea for the title from Jessica H. This layout was perfect for my son's cowboy pictures. Thanks for this fun western layout Charissa!

Guitar POOL
This layout was designed by Julie K. and was part of a swap at Brandy Jo's 2008 Fall Scrapbook Retreat. I didn't have a large picture for the right side, so I used two smaller pictures and a lot of buttons to divide them. I used the Monogram Dimensional Elements for my title and used three buttons to make Mickey ears on the "O". I love how this layout turned out. Thanks for the fun layout Julie!

Treasure Life
This layout was designed by Jana C. and was part of a swap at Brandy Jo's 2008 Fall Scrapbook Retreat. I didn't have a big picture for the right side, so I added the Colonial White cardstock over the Cocoa cardstock and stamped the paper using the August Word Puzzle. I love all of the bright colors in this layout, which was perfect for my Disneyland pictures. Thanks for the awesome layout Jana!

1st Grade - First Day of School
This layout was designed by Heather T. and was part of a swap at Brandy Jo's 2008 Fall Scrapbook Retreat. It was stamped with "September" in the upper left, but my children started school in August, so I change it. I also added white rick-rack, white paper flowers, brads and a pink token. This layout was perfect for my daughter's school pictures. Thanks Heather for the cute layout!

You're A STAR
This layout was designed by Lynette Kankamp. She is a Close To My Heart (CTMH) consultant/director and has earned 7 cruises through CTMH, which means she sells a lot of CTMH product. She had a booth at the USA Scrapbook Expo a few months ago and had this layout for a take-and-make project.

This was the layout I used for my swap at Brandy Jo's 2008 Fall Scrapbook Retreat. The idea for the left side of this layout came from the Autumn/Winter 2008 CTMH Idea Book/Catalog (page 51). My page is different, but the idea is the same. The right side was added to make it a 2-page layout. I used the Perfect Day Paper Packet.
I plan on changing some of the photos in this layout to sepia because the colors don't match.

Enjoy the Journey
This is a large Magnetic Board I created to decorate my wall. It is made with scrapbook paper glued on a large magnetic board you may have seen in the craft stores. I painted the wooden frame a dark brown and used an elegant light colored rub-on for the wording. The flowers, buckle and large style brads are also magnetic making it easy to hold a variety of pictures on the board. I can change the pictures when I want and have the ability to use an assortment of sizes.
I got the kit from A Page 4 All Seasons. They are an on-line scrapbook store. I love going to their web-site and selecting layouts or kits, which are easily mailed directly to me. It's so easy! I'd recommend their web-site to anyone who loves scrapbooking.
The Magnet Board was created by Amber Packer. She is one of the designers for A Page 4 All Seasons. I love all the things she creates.
The two pictures on the right side were taken my by Mom. The picture on the left side was taken by Kiddie Kandids.

Just Catchin It
I love the way this layout turned out. I did it a while back and just never posted it. The left side is designed after a page I seen on the back of the Creating Keepsake Magazine. It was a soccer page that said "Just Kickin It." I changed it to a baseball page and put all the pictures I had of my son playing catcher.

Snowflakes
I bought this layout from some CTMH consultants who were selling them at retreat. The consultant was either Stacy Day or Ashley Meenderink who created the layout. I loved the layout, but had to add some of my own touches to it: I sewed 3 circles and added buttons all over. I added another hinge and moved 3 brads and put them on the letter S. I changed the letter S from green to pink and added ribbon. I also made a pocket page so I could journal and tuck extra pictures in it. It was nice to get a layout that was creative yet flexible to my needs! Thanks girls!
Spring Break in Las Vegas
I copied this layout from another CTMH consultant, Barbara LaMunion. I love the layouts she creates and may just have to scrap lift a few more. I did this layout at a retreat and I was so sleepy when I did it that the right side ended up being an 11X11 instead of a 12X12! LOL! I had to go add a strip of paper on the side and top to fix it!

TRAIN RIDES
A fellow CTMH consultant and team member, Stacy Day, made this layout. I added mini-brads, ribbon and rick-rack and made a pocket page on the right side to place a sheet of card stock to journal on. I also placed a sheet of card stock for each of my children, so that they could write what they remembered about the train ride. My daughter mostly drew picture's.
Mommy & ME!
This layout idea is not my own. I got the idea from another CTMH consultant, Barbara LaMunion. The colors matched our clothes perfectly.

I scrap lifted this layout form the CTMH Summer 2008 Idea Book, on page 76. I loved this layout when I first saw it and knew I would have to do it.

You Are My SUNSHINE!
I went to the USA Scrapbook Expo and picked up a bunch of kits from a new on-line store called A Page For All Seasons. The on-line store was created by one of the scrapbook teachers that used to work at the scrapbook store All My Memories (AMM). AMM is now closed.
YEeHaW!
This layout is for a 9X9 swap I am doing with my unit. We will do the swap at our scrapbook retreat in Eden, Utah next week. I can’t wait to see what the other girls have created.
