8x8 Digi pages / Quotes

Just having some fun with the same digi elements from last weeks post...

p.s. My friend has the Book Binder tool from Provo Craft

You buy the book cover, it has a glue strip already in the spine.
You can buy pages or print your own - double sided
Insert pages in the book cover.

Heat up in the binder machine and you've got a 'Shutterfly' look alike book that you did really cheap!

- that's one of the reasons I've got all these 8x8 digi pages - they print, cut and bind beautifully.

Dad's Day

Just looking at ideas for Father's day when I came across some photos of Brian and Alexis at the Library.

Combined with a some digi work I'd just done - and tada! A quick little page.

It's probably not the photo I'll keep in this page, or I might just think on the page today and alter it, leaving the photo... In any case - here it is :)








...and one of Brian out hiking...






















...and one of him from Iraq




Got to love this guy - been married for almost 25 years and we're still going strong.



He really is one great husband and dad





p.s. These digi elements are from the Veronica Spriggs "In His World" Premier June kit - I LOVE all these kits from Linda Sattgast / http://scrappersguide.com/

Stephen King On Writing

On Writing by Stephen King

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved the first half of the book - and I don't totally recommend skipping to the middle and reading from there. Besides, if you love reading as much as I do, you won't skip anything... but WOW to the second half! Incredible book for any want-to-be writer to have in their 'bag'.

Dance Recital

Coming up in just a few days Alexis will have her Dance Recital!

I'll be posting some photos very soon...
______________________

Here they are!

Alexis had a storytelling part - she told a story intermixed with the dancing inbetween. She memorized SO much - it was amazing!

That little girl has a memory and seems to be quite the little performer on top of that.

Oh, she did inform me that there was no way she was going to "...use as much expression as you do mom" - yes the girl used the word 'expression'.

As you can see, I think she still did use a bit of expression ;)

















... the costumes were ADORABLE, I just wish I could have snapped some better photos.













Lexy is in the middle - this was for the song 'Ain't I Sweet' Lexy is in the middle - this was for the song 'Ain't I Sweet'

Thai did a lot of work on the backdrop - it was incredible! So much detail - Look, there are even litte pom poms on the dress and toes!

Now I get to scrap it all!























Thai & Alexis

and a few more layouts

I got in TOO much of a hurry and some of the photos of the pages are not-so-good. But hey, I DID finally get some pages done after ages and ages of not getting anything finished :)

Hugs!

The next few pages...

busy busy busy...

Working on some pages...

Okay, so they are not completely original - I had to take the sketches from some magazines (June '09 CK & Feb '08 MM happened to be the ones I grabbed).

I had very little time and a deadline - In any case - here are some things I'm working on for a retirement gift for a co-worker at the library

I'm just happy to have completed some projects!

8 down, 12 more to go... wish me luck!
