It's Here - The Scrapbook in an Evening Album

To view the Scrapblog Album above just click on the big arrow in the middle of the box and then click on the Play Slide Show button at the top.  Then just sit back, relax and listen to some piano music as the 18 pages of my album automatically change for you to enjoy.  Notice on pages 8 and 9 I have created a little graduated flip book to hold lots of pictures.  This is a great way to get a lot of pictures on to one page without cluttering up the page.  I did add some additional 12 x 12 cardstock for more pages and also used some 8.5 x 11 cardstock to layer pictures on and to make the graduated flip books.

I have not done journaling on any of the pages.  I am giving this album as a gift to my friend and I am thinking it would be better for her to do the journaling.  What are your thoughts, should I journal or let her journal?  Click on the comment button below and let me know what you think.  Thanks!

Scrapbook in an Evening - Page 1

Here is the 1st page of my Scrapbook in an Evening class.  I used last years Simply Scrappin' Kit called "At Home", because I was suppose to do a class with a bunch of girls about 6 months ago and we never have been able to get together to do.  I ordered all the supplies back in June so I can't let them go to waste.  However I will be going to a Weekend Scrapbookers Retreat this weekend in Freeport, Maine...most of the girls will be there so I figured we can make these this weekend.

I am also making a scrapbook for my friend Lori out in Denver, CO.  She was kind enough to let me stay at her house after the SU! convention and take part in a new home makeover show on HGTV called "Carter Can" with Carter Oosterhouse (see my About Me picture - that's me with Carter - is he HOT or what?!).  It was so much fun!!!!  I have a CD with all the pictures she took with her camera, all the pictures I took with my camera and then I was able to get the Production Assistant to send me a copy of all the pictures he took.  I was really not expecting to get the CD from the Production Assistant, but a few weeks ago I did receive it in the mail!  So I plan to use these pages for her scrapbook - it's the perfect theme and I am pretty sure the colors are perfect.  Now I just need to sit down and look at all the pictures and figure out which ones I want to print - that's another 4 hours gone!

Tomorrow I'm hoping to create a photo album with all the pages I've done with this kit.  Another new thing to learn that will take hours.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE all this technology, it's just that I get so consumed in it that I don't get anything else done!  Oh well, laundry and housework can wait another day - right?!
