More New Layouts!

I have been cranking out layouts trying to get caught up to this year. I am averaging about a page a day lately! I only have 11 layouts left to do to be completely caught up in my family albums! Yeah!
This layout is of our visit to Wolf People in Idaho last year. I suprised my son with a tour of the facility because he has loved wolves for a few years now. He loves them so much he saves his own money in hopes that he can buy himself a huskey some day, just because they look this a wolf.
This is a layout of the air show they had at the local air force base in 2008. We watched a great Blue Angels air show. This layout is from a Becky Fleck Page Maps sketch.

StuckOnUSketches Challenge (July 2nd)

The challenge this week is to use the sketch AND try to incorporate red, white and blue! I am all out of 4th of July pictures, and I didn't take any this year, so I chose to do a layout of my baby, William. He is 4 years old in this picture, taken in 2003! Ahhh, they grow so fast!

New Layouts

It feels like the boys have been gone forever! They are very good about calling me every other day for an update. I am looking forward to them coming home in 3 weeks. New classes start on monday, I am taking 4 classes (yuck!) this summer to try and speed up graduation. I did have a nice break, got some cleaning done and some pages done! I finished my 2007 family album! Only 15 layouts left to be caught up with family albums. Then I can start working on the boys albums again and my Disney album from this year!
Layout made from sketch 99 at Got Sketch

You may recognize this layout as a variation from last weeks SOUS sketch! :)

From the SOUS sketch I missed on May 7th. I cheated and did a layout from our Disney pics this year!

StuckOnUSketches Challenge (6/18)-Splash!

Well, I was up at 4:30 am today to get to the airport to put the boys on a plane to see their Dad in Seattle for a month. I am off of school for two weeks, so I have some time to finish up some scrap pages. I started this one as soon as the new sketch was posted at SOUS. I missed last weeks embossing challenge. I have never been big on embossing, but I am thinking that I need to put a Cuttlebug on my wish list after seeing every ones layouts! This layout is from 2008, its from our local water park where they have my company picnic for work every year.

Now to figure out what I am going to do with myself for the next 5 weeks.....

StuckOnUSketches Challenge June 4th

Okay, time again for the sketch at StuckOnU! This weeks sketch is from PageMaps. I actually did this one twice! I made it the regular way, then thought it would look cool in round also. I got to get out my little sewing machine on these! I only have about 13 layouts left to go to finish my 2006, 2007 and 2008 family albums! I am going to keep plugging away, if only I could just stay home for a whole week and scrap!

Update & StuckOnUSketches Challenge (May 28th)

So, a long over due update and challenge participation. First, I have been skipping the challenges at StuckOnU, not cause I mean to, I want to but I have been busy and in a scrap funk. I really like this weeks sketch, so....

As for life, we had a great vacation at Disneyland! This is our second year in a row and are now thinking of going to Disney world next year. It will be our first DW trip, so all you Disneyworlder's that have any tips for me, let me know! I think we have had our fill or Disneyland for a little while. Here are some pics, I still need to buy the Photopass CD..
