Good Morning Everyone if you are here from Amanda: http://www.myscrappinobsession.com/ then you are on the right track. So my friend and fellow crafter Erin over at
http://www.spantastikreations.blogspot.com/ ( she is where you start if you are lost) thought of the idea to have this Scrappin Roots blog hop to go back to scrapbook roots which is Scrapbook layouts. I for one was so happy to be a part of this hop, and then I started to freak out I DON"T MAKE LAYOUTS the idea of them scare me to death, I don't know why but I thought for weeks on what I was going to do, the pictures I was going to use, the theme the paper then it hit me that I was OVER thinking everything . SO here is my FIRST layout for you all to see, I only changed it a billion and one times.
I scrapped a page for my boys, It's my first page so it's not perfect. The main 12x12 page was some I got for 10 cents at Joanns one day, the solid paper is from Joanns and the letters are from a scrabble game, The pictures are of my son's Gavin and Gabriel they are now 9 and 11 but in the pics they are 3 and 5 and 5 and 7 they are growing so fast. after I made this page I kinda liked it, and I think I will make pages every once in a while and when I get enough I will have a book without even trying.
Now for the blog candy
To win this you have to be a follower, and leave a comment. I will pick a winner on Tuesday. For the prize I put together a *grab bag* in it is Ribbon, Stamps, Stickers, Brads lots of goodies you will not want to miss out on this bag I kinda went overboard :D haha.
I kinda wanted the bag to be a Surprise but I figured I'd give you a teaser picture just so you know it is full of goodies :D
your next stop will be :

You did a great job for your first layout. Similar to my first layout. I was invited to a scrapbook class and when I asked what do I bring? Nothing I was told we will have everything there. Well almost everything, the detail about bring pictures was left out. So my first layout was without pictures. It was lots of fun and I am still scrappin. TFS!

ReplyDeleteI am not sure what I would do if I had to do a layout. Although I said I was going to make one, I just need to take the leap and start. For the most part I make cards and other paper crafts, I have a slight love affair with paper...there is nothing like finding new paper!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout, and you know after a couple more pages you are going to want to do more..and more..and more....
