I Got my Scrappin Mojo Back!

It's been forever since I've done some serious scrapbooking! Although you never really forget (like riding a bike) it is very hard to get back into the "mode" to get layouts done. We had our monthly scrapbook club crop on Saturday and here is what I accomplished.

First of all, here is a layout utilizing a file that Kathy made for me. It's a little boy with a bug jar which accurately depicts what my son did with the ladybug he found. The ladybug inside the jar is one of the challenge files over on the TSI Forum created by Princess Ladybug (Rhonda). Thanks again Kathy for making this for me to use!

The next series of layouts are of our vacation to Colorado in 2005. The first one utilizes a file that I received for free from Designs by Sky (Rita) for completing one of her challenges several months ago. I'm so glad that I remembered I had this file. It was probably my favorite page of the day...I love the western look! I used Art Stix to give the frames an aged look.

Our favorite pasttime in Colorado is stopping at EVERY stream or river to throw rocks. To my knowledge nobody has made a file for this activity so I decided to make my own. You can see by the little spot where I have a wrap-around arrow that the rock is in mid-air. I'm probably going to switch it up a little to make a Skipping Rocks file for the professional rock throwers. My kids aren't quite that good; although this summer my son who is now 8 1/2 is getting a pretty good handle on skipping them!

The next one is a 2-page layout that I just put together using up photos of Craig with the kids and our train adventures. I don't know who made the train file but I just love the detail!

Thanks for looking :)
