Weekend Postings

I received my first S.E.I. scrapbooking kit in February and finally got around to using it.  I like how they give you ideas for there page LO's which you can add to them or copy the one they suggest.  This first one was all about Robin's mothers birthday.  Donna turned 73 on her birthday and we had a get together at Rick & Robins home.

This is what we did when Rick, Robin, Eric & I went to Mexico to spend a few days on his boat. The weather wasn't that great but it didn't stop us from getting in a days worth of fishing which was a lot of fun.
These pages were also from my S.E.I. kit.

The last of 2012

Finally I finished my last few pages and the front page of my 2012 album.  Tried to pick a few pictures that were used during the year of friends & family.

This was the only picture I took of Rick & Robins Christmas tree, I should have had them stand next to it.  It was a really easy layout, not much to do on it.

This was my favorite one, I tried to add the rain drops which turned into hail.  I found a similar LO on scrapbook.com & tried to copy it.  I like the way it came together.  Now on to 2013

Christmas at the Spencer's

Christmas is never complete till I visit the Spencer's.  Didn't get a lot of pictures this year, too much commotion.  Kids aren't still long enough to get a good picture shot.  So I did my best with what pictures I had.

Three more done this weekend

Slowly I am gaining on finishing out 2012. This first one is the last I will do on the Twilight Series. I definitely enjoyed the 4 years it was around.

This next one is of the Fallbrook Christmas Parade.  The paper looks a little pinkish here but it really is a darker. deeper red.  I am trying to go thru my stash and use some I have had for years.

I tried to make it look like Marlene was pointing at Santa but really I think she was waving at people on a float.

My early morning project

Woke up at 4:30 a.m. and decided to scrapbook.  Crazy huh?  It is when I get motivated the best.  So this is what I created.  First place in the Oceanside Xmas Boat Parade.

3 singles & one double to add

 

I did not make it to the wedding but I took the invitation & a postcard magnet & pictures from their  Christmas card & created my page of Andrew's (my grandson) & Jackie's wedding.

These are pictures taken at Anny's birthday celebration. She is Robin's sister-in-law. The paper is from my stash, ribbon, flowers, sparkles & page layout is from CTMH. The ricrac ribbon from Walmart.

My granddaughter Steffanie posted this on facebook & I was able to print it out.  I did use my Cricut for the banner strips & the lettering & the label which I wrote on.  The ribbon is from CTMH & also the paper.

These papers came from SEI, I thought the candy cane paper matched the candy canes hanging on the boat. The tree was cut with cricut and the flower was from a class I took at the scrap expo one year. The picture is of my grandson Eric & I at the boat parade  at Oceanside Harbor.

New for 2013

It's a new year, time to get back to posting my pages on my blog. Still working on 2012 photo's.

                                          Soroptimists except for the guys we considered them
                                          Soroptimisters because they helped us so much on our
