Busy Scrappin
Well today I was busy scrappin. I got 4 layouts done, but am not happy with them. I really think I am out of ideas right now!!
This first one is my brother when he was in 1st grade. Kit Credit: Boy O Boy Kit by Blushbutter I was kinda going for a simular look as the one I did yesterday, because the photo's were taken the same day. I didn't want to use the same kit but wanted the colors to not clash. So this is what I ended up with. Not real happy, but....am I ever lately? LOL I got the idea of using the alpha from the kit for his name down the side of the picture from several of Blushbutters layouts. I thought it was cool when she did it. LOL don't know about when I did, but....isn't that the way it works!
The next one is my Mom tying my hat on when I was little. This kit was a freebie from e-scapandscrap.net I think. Kit Credit: New Year 2007 by Julie Mead
The Next one is my Mom and Dad greating each other, with me standing by them when we went to pick my Dad up at the bus station when he came to join us on our Vacation in Minnesota one year. I used a cute little freebie from Digital Freebies (gotten last year I think). Kit Credit: Outerbanks mini kit by Eva K Designs
The last one is my brother and I. Kit Credit: So Loved by Doris Castle. I think I may have gotten this kit from the Rakscraps newsletter one month, but don't remember for sure. Anyway it was a freebie somewhere...just can't remember for sure where! LOL
As you can see I was trying to see what I could do with some freebies for a change. Course that means sometimes you don't have a lot to work with, because not everyone gives LARGE freebies, but I like simple usually so thats ok. I just wish I was able to think of some cool layouts lately! I haven't been to good at doing that. They are all starting to look the same to me!!! I guess I am going to have to go looking in the gallerys and try to find something NEW. Hopefully its the winter blues thats zapping my creativity! LOL Maybe when it gets warm enough to get out more, and open the windows, the fresh air will blow the staleness away. I can dream anyway!!!!! LOL
I better go finish the laundry and get supper! I've been on this computer way to much today, between looking at alot of different free kits I have gotten to find one that would work...to doing the 4 layouts. So I hope everyone is having a good week! We should be having some baby goats soon...course we have been thinking that for a couple weeks, but I can't wait till they get here, cause they will be so cute!! (At least they usually are! LOL)
oh that is so wierd that you feel like your out of ideas! I was thinking the exact same thing and we have warmer weather. I have been looking at all your layouts thinking ok I'm copying that one and that one and the other one there LOL
ReplyDeleteI love all your layouts and I love how they all look so different. I love going to different galleries for ideas, have you tried twopeas gallery? they have the elegant simple styled ones and different ideas. Oh btw I love how the wording went down the side and forgot to say that in my email to you! Wish I had when I reread my response and viewed it again. I always look at your layouts and think now where did she come up with ideas to do that?!!! You have a natural eye for elegant placement and I love how easy it is to read your layouts and look at them. Your parents will love your album!!! Your puppy dogs sound so cute and I love reading your blog. Great layouts and love the one with your Mum tying your bonnet, beautiful :) hug's blush
I agree with Blushbutter, they are all real nice layouts. Ofcourse being your mother, I would say that, but if Blushbutter says they are good you know they are (that makes it not just your Mom a talking). Like she says they are going to be a really nice addition to our Anniversary Album. Thank you, ahead of time, for all the lovely layouts you are doing for that album. I guess I better get to doing my part of the job and get more pictures scanned for you.
