Thanksgiving

-
I'm almost there on 2017! I'm in November now, and I'm seeing the light at the end of the 2017 family scrapbook album. I'm trying to be a little more selective about what I'm scrapping only because my album is getting quite thick! I have so many albums that I recently (within the last couple of years) have decided to try and pair down to one album per a year - so much more difficult than it sounds! Shouldn't be though, not with the 3 ring binders I use from Hobby Lobby!


For my photos of Thanksgiving with my husband's side of the family I decided to use a sketch from Sketch n Scrap. I had 2 good photos from that night so I used one photo as is and then I cut the second photo in half to be the the smaller two for this sketch.



The Sketch:


My Take:


To Create this Layout I used:

DCWV: The Linen Closet papers stack
Carta Bella: Our Family - ephemera
Prima flowers from my stash
tag from my stash
twine



Thank you so much for stopping by!



Blessings,

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer ...

Let's Scrap - Friends Forever

Since moving away from my home town I don't get to see my old high school/college friends very often. There was a core group of us that hung out beginning in high school and we are all friends still. The one friend that was responsible for all of us meeting and ultimately becoming friends was getting married. It was so fun to all be back together for an evening. What was also fun was seeing all of our children together. Definitely one of those sentimental moments that needs to be scrapbooked and kept for all time! Let's Scrap has a fantastic sketch up on the blog that was perfect for these pictures. This sketch included a fun element: booklet. At first I had some trouble figuring out how to do this but then it became clear. I hope you enjoy the layout and the booklet as pictured for you below. I decided to use the left side of the layout. And I hope you are inspired to try this fun element on your next layout! The Sketch: My Take (on the left side of the...
