As promised on
Emma's blog (Emma is my sister's sister-in-law. Got that? She does really awesome scrapbook pages.), I'm posting some of the scrapbook pages I've been working on recently. I've discovered that every scrapbooker has her own philosophy. I do separate books for each child, and will continue to, so my scrapbooks are pretty simple as far as embellishments. (I'm not a right brained person so I get lots of help from the (in my opinion worth the money) products from Creative Memories, because just stepping into one of those scrapbooking stores makes me hyperventilate from anxiety. I mean, I wouldn't know where to even start.) I try to do about one page a month for each kid, so sometimes that's an event and sometimes it's just pictures of life. Anyway, that's what works for my situation. Here are some pages from Bonnie's book.
Oh, my main creative thing I do is use "2006" or whatever on just about every page and replace the zeroes with round stickers that are part of the page theme. I don't remember where I read about doing that, but that's about as adventuresome as I go. Here, I replace zeroes with pumpkins. REAL unique, huh?
See, more zeroes replaced...by Christmas ornaments this time! (Can you hear the sarcasm?)
This is the cake page of the portion of the album dealing with her first birthday. There is going to be at least one more page but I haven't done it yet.
So, I like to scrapbook but know my creative limits.

Those circular photos are a little out-there, don't you think? :) Just kidding. Maybe one of these days I'll start scrapbooking instead of just putting everything on my blog.
I am impressed that you have found the time to keep it up! Your pages are cute! I love scrapbooking, but I just cannot find time to do it! Micah has a "first year" scrapbook and a "toddler years" scrapbook. Coby has a "first year" scrapbook. I have bought the book for Cason's first year, but I havent even opened it yet. Bryson has all his pictures plastered all over my blog.... poor guy!
I like the blog and scrapbook. The blog gives way more details of the everyday. I think your pages are really good. Everything is very symmetrical which I really like! I think you're doing great keeping up with them. Most people are 5 years behind so to have Bonnie Pages done is really great! :) Glad I inspired you!
