My Brown Eyed Boy

Here is a very simple page I created. It is one of my favorites because it is all about my son's beautiful brown eyes. I knew I wanted to do a monochromatic page with browns. I didn't have any cute brown buttons so my big sis let me dig through her HUGE button jar and I found this cute old buckle...


Then I found this perfectly brown big button...



Then of course the most important part of the page is this little boys beautiful brown eyes...



Then I did some layering with 3 dfferent colored brown papers from a Bazzill assortment of paper.  I tore the edges with my Creative Memories tearing tool.  I LOVE tearing.  I probably use it a little too much, or it seems like it ends up on almost all of my scrapbook pages anyways.  Anyways, this is what i came up with.  I'm all about journaling, but I didn't journal on this page.  I thought the title spoke for itself!  The title, by the way is from the Gypsy Font.  Thanks for looking!





Sorry for the delay

Ok, I really want to apologize here for the delay in my posts. I mean, practically half of the year has gone by!!! Sorry! I don't know what I have been doing, I just haven't felt motivated enough to upload anything. And sometimes I get discouraged after I see all of the beautiful work out there. I think "My stuff will never look that good". But, I have to remind myself why I started scrapbooking. The reason I started was to create memory albums to pass on to my children and to their children and so on. I can remeber sitting at my Grandma's house looking at her very very old black and white photos. I didn't know the people in the pictures but I knew that they were my history and I thought it was neat to look back at where I came from. I am going to get back on the wagon and I'm going to try my hardest to post here more often. I love doing crafts, especially scrapbooking b/c looking at pictures of my kids makes me happy and brings back those memories that we had while I took the pictures. I'm not going to worry about whether or not my pages are blogworthy or not I will just post my favorites and maybe we can create some relationships and share some ideas! Thanks for checking me out!
