As time goes by...mom & dad page

(click to see larger)

This page is of my mom and dad. They have been married for as long as I can remember...lol

My mom is forever in my mind as she is in this photo of her in 1990. The frosted hair, full on makeup, dressed all matching and most of all I remember her as flirty and funny and full of life. No matter what she ever does or becomes as she ages....I close my eyes and I see this person.

My daddy is sneaky and rotten and beautiful. I think of him this way. I look at the photos of him and the person he is today and he hasnt changed that much to me. I am now and forever to be....My daddys girl.

I played with sewing machine stitches on this one. I love girly paper and I dont care what the subject is...Frilly girl-ish paper is my very favorite.

Okay this page was sorta out there for me because I NEVER do a two page layout and I NEVER do this many photos ! hehe

It was fun and I may actually do a few more two page ones.

I started out doing two pages years ago when I began scrapbooking and got away from it because to be honest I like the embellishments and all the other things on the page as much as I do the actual photos...lol

When I look back thru my books I see that I used to never do a page that didnt have a two page match...Okay its fun for a few pages...but I am sticking to the single page ones....

My brother Dee Page

(click to see full size)

This page was fun to do because of all the layers but mostly because the whole time I was making it I was thinking about my little brother Dee. He isnt my Little Brother...He is a year almost older than me...I tease that My mom must have gotten pregnant on the way home from the hospital with me after having him because from Feb til April he and I are the same age.

The Journal tags on this page say...

When I rmember you as my brother I think back and I see a little boy that was rotten. you were so skinny and yet you were as tough as anyone I had ever met. You were looking for a fight and always won !

you were one of the most handsome boys I ever saw and my girlfriends were totally in love with you. You would whip anyone that messed with me and I was never afraid when you were there. I am always proud when someone says your name. You are my big brother and I love you.

I was remembering the day that he met my husband. He stood toe to toe with him and looked him dead in the eyes and said...If you ever hurt her....Every day that you leave your house....I will be outside...And every day...I will whip your A** ! (smile)

Now thats a good brother :)

Girls make him Smile Page

(click to see larger)

Mikey is full of smiles when it comes to girls. He doesnt really care if they are young or old, blonde or red head...if its a girl he is in !

Kandis is his favorite right now !!! hehe

The little hearts on this page came from big lots on a recent find and come a whole bunch of them on a sheet for 1.50 the paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday and Ever After line. The Smile-O-Meter is from a set of chipboard sticker things that I got the very first year I was scrapbooking forever ago and are made by K&Co.

My brothers Girls Page

(click for better look)

I have been trying to get all the old photos of friends and family into some books because I find...as you probably have noticed...that I scrapbook mostly Mikey. So a challenge for me lately has been to try to use photos of other people to hurry and get them all into books so that I can just focus on Mikey ! lol

These are my brothers girls and they are such beautiful girls !

Memories page

(click for a closer look)

These little photos of me as a little girl are so dang funny. I must have not wanted to do them in the one from Kindergarten. I am seriously crying ! My poor mom !

Daddy Page

(click for closer look)

This page was one me and my friend Kelly did on National Scrapbooking Day on May 1. I think she and I both are loving the journalling around the outside of the pages. We got a little excited over the jewels on this one. HeHe. Never enough Jewels !!!!

-Wendy

Family page

(click for closer look)

This is a simple layered page but I still like it. The Family is a jewel sticker that we found recently at Michaels on clearance. Me and My friend Kelly bought all of them we could find ! lol

The jewels around the circle were a sheet of jewels and I used my Hot Off the Press circle template to make the circle and dots for placement.

Elizabeth in the top ten commenters on my blog has won one of the HOTP templates designed by me ! All she had to do was stop by and comment my blog and be in the top ten and her name was randomly chosen from the top 10 commenters list and Now she is getting a free Spinner Wheel Template !

Silly Brothers Page

This page was somewhat of a copy from a scrapbook trends magazine. The colors made me and my friend Kelly nervous when we were doing it. LOL Lots of rub ons and layers of junk :)

So Proud of You Page

(click to see closer up)

This page was so fun. I have never used the stitch words. I now need some ! Kelly brought hers for our little scrapbook day and I gave it a try. Lordie it takes a while and I am somewhat of a speed scrapper but it was so worth it !

The jewel clusters were part of a sale at Michaels Last week. They have started restocking with new stuff and clearing out the old :) Nothing makes me happy like clearance scrapbooking stuff ! hehe

This photo is one of the very few that I have of my daddy in the service and I am so proud of him !!!
