Saturday Outings

One Saturday last month, all my friends seemed to be out doing things. I received texts and photos from their varied locations (two of them were traveling by plane - separately, but still leaving from the same airport, purely coincidence).

First, my friend Jen texted me about her Ghetto Gourmet Tour in Berkeley.

Supplies Used:
Paper: Recycling Bin (Peppermint Creative)
Template: Katie Pertiet
Font: Stampete

To wind up the day, my friend Brenda was at the Portland Fruit Beer Festival. The one photo she sent (after I told her to take a picture to record her moment, lol) is captured in my "Cheers!" layout.

Supplies Used:

Paper & embellishments: Peanut Butter & Jelly (Peppermint Creative); Digitally Smitten title box (Gina Cabrera)
Stitching: Assorted Messy Stitches Brown No. 2 (Katie Pertiet)

Template: Some Stuff Template No. 8 (Fei-Fei's Stuff)

Fonts: Lush (title), Shelter Me (journaling)


Although it didn't take long to do each layout, I think they both turned out well. Hope the gals like 'em!

Valentine Treats & Project Life

One more actual layout completed for my Project Life album! This one is about Valentine's Day goodies we got this past February.

I tucked the Valentine's Day card behind the photo in the bottom right
quadrant. There's a pocket behind the photo. As for supplies, I only know that the title letters (which are plastic) are from American Crafts. Also, the butterfly is a cut-out (from a whole sheet) from the Joann's $1 bin.

At least I feel I have made some progress with scrapbooking current stuff!

I also wanted to share a photo of the little guy that I took yesterday that I thought was kind of humorous. The first caption that came to mind was: "Do these cars come with cupholders?" I just thought it was so funny that he was balancing his bottle of milk on the steering wheel.

One thing I've been doing in my Project Life album is trying to condense a lot of pictures that I take in a week. I am trying to take at least one photo a day, and sometimes I want to include more than one for a particular day. So, with the help of 4x6 templates from Cathy Zielske, I created this for the week of June 24-30.
