What I've Been up to Lately...

I have been busy...good busy.  For most of April I was working furiously to scrapbook the military life of a local family's son.  I am now also working to do some layouts for a friend who has a son graduating this year.  I got permission to share the military/masculine layouts with y'all and thought this would be a great time since it highlights a man in the U.S. Army and Memorial Day and Father's Day are coming up.  

I never have a problem scrapbooking girls but their seems to be less out there for men and boys.  Anyway, here are a couple....

The most recent is 

"What we really do in the ARMY"

Just had the one picture of floor scrubbing so I went with more of a negative space single page.  Not my usual but I accomplished what I wanted which was to highlight the photo by using the "K.I.S.S." principle.

Also finished up this other manly double layout, 

Tatts and Toys.

Here's a close-up of the corner so you can get a better idea of the easy addition of some ink to beat it up a bit and finish the layout off...you know, man-like!

I will be taking off Saturday to be with my family and will be back Wednesday as usual.  
Have a great Memorial Weekend!

Third Thursday Layout Class - April 18th

OK, I really like these layouts.  What you can't see is that the file folder actually opens - How awesome is that?!

Make sure to sign up for this class before it fills up.  Limited quantities.  $15 includes class with both layouts.

April Challenge Kit - Featuring Pop Colors

When I saw these fun colors, I simply couldn't resist.  They are just what I need to give me some color in an otherwise blah and chilly season.

For only $6 you get all this (papers are glossy and retail at $1.19.)

Plus a choice of banner.

Honestly, the pictures don't do justice to the fun colors in this kit.  I can't wait to see what you all do for this.

Don't forget to stop in and vote on last month's kit submissions.  Your vote will help choose the winner to receive a $10 gift certificate.

Third Thursday Layout Class

 Ready for tonight's class?!  See you soon.
