Already I am only 3 full weeks into 2012 and finding it hard to keep to my resolution to make 1 scrapbook layout a week! I just haven't taken the time to sit down and work on a layout. I have been creating but its not something I can share yet. I did get a new book last week about making interactive scrapbook pages. It's pretty cool and I will be trying some of the techniques in the book over the next few weeks and will share my results with you.
Before Thanksgiving, the girls had a 3 day weekend. So on Friday, Cassie (my youngest) packed up her stuff and went with Matt (Colleen's boyfriend) to visit her sissy at college. Matt took some fantastic pictures and the weather was fantastic. Plus Cassie got to see just where her sissy was living and going to school. It's funny....from the moment Cassie could talk she called her oldest sister - "Sissy", and if I wasn't available then her sissy was next in line to help.....they have a very close relationship and Colleen moving away to college has been kinda hard on Cassie. But having a laptop with Skype seems to help. LOL
Here is my layout of the weekend visiting Sissy at college......
I kept this layout pretty simple. I used patterned paper from Echo Park's Life is Good Collection. Plus I used 4 photos!! So proud of myself! LOL I used Grand Nestabilities Labels 11 and Labels 11 Nestabilities for this layout. I love that you have 12 sizes of dies if you buy both sets. It makes things so simple when you want to journal with your computer like I did here. I printed out my journaling and then die cut/embossed. The bottom heart detail is from the Egdeabilities line called Classic Bracket from Spellbinders, too.
I will try to take a better picture tomorrow - hopefully the sun will be out. I didn't realize it was such a wonky angle. Sorry...... Talk to you tomorrow!
