Finished layout.....

As I stated in my last post, I have been working on adding journaling & elements to layouts that have been waiting for quite some time.  I actually scrapped this a couple of years ago and felt that it needed more elements before adding it to Raegen's album.

The title & photos looked very lonely before the addition of the elements & journaling.  Yes, the photos on a layout are the most important in telling your story.....but, the addition of journaling & elements make for a finished look!  

Thanks for stopping by!  

Finally blogging.....

My intention for this year was to keep up with my blogging and finish my daughters' high school albums.  As you can see, I have fallen behind on my blogging and am struggling with my scrapping....just can't seem to get in any kind of rhythm.  

I would prefer scrapping layouts of Ava, but knowing that if I get started on layouts for my darling granddaughter, I won't ever finish the ones that I need to do for the girls.....oh, dear! 

I scrapped this layout in January for Raegen, this is her DH in high school,  and am just now taking the time to add it to my blog.  I used a sketch from Sketches for Scrapbooking Volume 6 by Debbie Sanders & Allison Davis.  This is my first sketch book from these wonderful ladies, hope to have more one volumes one of these days.  

Lately I have been catching up on my journaling on several of my finished layouts, mostly track layouts.  Since the main reason that I started scrapping in the first place was to keep a record of school activities & sports....the journaling/stats is an important part of the layout.  I am fortunate to have all of the results from their cross country & track meets since DH was the coach!  Today I am working on journaling, title, & adding elements to a layout that I started a couple of years ago & never completed.  It happens to be one of my favorite layouts, I really like the paper & sketch, hope to add it to my blog when I am finished.  

Now that I am current on my blog.....it is time to head to my scrap space! Wishing everyone a good weekend!
