I love this one, of course Linsey did it. Now there's a girl that knows how to use a Cricut.
I was so excited to do this one simply because I love the paper, and ribbon but unfortunately it turned out to be one of the worst.
You can definitely tell when I was getting bored with the project because my work gets a little less interesting and much less embellished. I do love BROWN!!
It's amazing how much the Cricut can enhance the quality of the page. It does help to have great paper as well.
Scrapbook pages----What a great gift for the person who has everything..
Whenever I do these books I always have to make sure that I have the same number of pictures of each of the grandkids just to make it fair.
When I was done I went back and counted each picture and I was amazed that I had used an equal number of pictures of each child.. Pretty good I think!
When I started this project I made a commitment to myself that I would put together this book with out making any trips to Pebbles or Roberts. I DID IT!!! I know it's hard to believe but this is proof that it can be done..IF I CAN DO IT ANYONE CAN DO IT..
I was able to keep that committment but supplies really started to get scarce.
It seems that every time I do a scrapbook project I end up spending a ridiculous amount of money on embellishments etc. and then they never get used.
It drives Jay crazy that I can spend so much on scrap booking so I thought I would see if I could do it this time at no cost. I did!! I'm sure he would be so pleased..
I finally finished this vast scrapbook project. They are quite plain but they are done and many of my family pictures are safe inside the scrapbook..
Whenever I look at Brenda Birrells (owner of Pebbles in my Pocket) pages I realize just how plain mine are. She is one of the most amazing, fun, and talented people on the planet.
I'm not a huge fan of the cricut. Sometimes I like to put together my own lettering from creative keepsakes. I know that is the out-of-date way to do it but I love the sports lettering. However it is a lot of cutting.
So this is where all of you that read my blog are supposed to give your creative ideas and in-put.
This project started out as a gift for my Mother, It still is but I'm having a hard time parting with it. I don't know if she'll appreciate it as much as I do.
I'm quite proud of myself, I did this whole project without spending one PENNY!!! I would have liked to, but I didn't. However I am going to have to buy a new Cricut, it was one of the casualties of this project.
The "Thickers" aren't my favorite but I think they went well here.
It's amazing what you can do with a plain white 12x12 piece of paper.

Again, I LOOOOVE your style. I think the one you said turned out the "worst" is only because it didn't turn out how you thought it would. I actually thought is was cute. Again, too many embellishments take away from the pictures.
One suggestion I have for you, though, is to make sure you do some journaling on the pages. Always put who is in the pictures and the date. I also like to add where the pictures were taken. Also, if there is a story to tell about a set of pictures, type it up and glue it on the page. When those grandkids are older, they're definitely going to want to read what you had to write about them!
Very cute!! I loved the pink and brown page(even though you didn't). Sometimes Less is more, although I have a really hard time with that~ there are just so many cute embellishments, and I want to use them all!! I love the digital scrapbooking though....you can use embellishments over and over again, it's sooo much cheaper. If you don't mind doing some cutting you can download the kits and print them off and use the paper like the ones you buy, just an idea, that way you can use the pictures you already have. The pages look great!!!
Wow. That was really good. Loved all the pages. I am a little jealous I want them.
Allie, I love your scrapbook pages.. I really need to get Marques' started. I agree about the embelishments...I have tons that I haven't used. I love you !
