Shakira McCoy, 7th Grade Layout

     On Friday my Mother-in-Law stopped by to pick up my 2 oldest kids for a trip they where going on. While here he gave me a copy of my Sister-in-Law's 7th grade school photo (shes 13). I sat down to scrap whith full intentions on setting back to work on my Holocaust Museum photos, but that looked more fun. Until I realized I dont have any mint color paper. What on earth is wrong with me? I have been loving mint this spring. I own like 5 mint colored shirts, but I have no mint colored paper? That will be fixed as soon as I can run to the store. I was going to blur out the photo for copyright reasons (since I do not own the copyright) but I didnt have to because the light left alot of noise on the photo so you still cant see it. Worked out. It was taken by Life Touch at my sister-in-law's school.

El Paso Holocaust Museum 9 photo- 2 page Layout

     Today I sat down to scrapbook a trip DJ and I took to the El Paso Holocaust Museum in 2008. I have been putting off these photos for so long because there is soooo many of them. There's not that much embellishments with a Holocaust theme, and to be quite honest, I just didn't know how to approach the project. So I told myself just sit down and do at least on layout. So I did just that. I approached the project thinking I don't want 5 million pages in my book about the museum, so I tried to use as many photos as I could on the layout. Now after doing that, I don't really love the layout and would rather have 2-3 photos on the layout and have the 5 million pages that have 2-3 pages that I don't love. So continuing with this project I will do probably do single pages with 1-3 photos.

Bye Bye scrapbook page

I'm on a mission to craft a little bit everyday beginning right now. So I sat down at my craft desk and began of course, began with the craft I know most...Scrapbooking. I pulled out all my photos from 2008 and began my album. My first page was of 2 pictures from New Years day. We were packing the car to begin our road trip back to Fort Bliss, TX after our vacation to visit Dennis's family in Lakeland, FL for Christmas. DJ (maybe 3 weeks old) and Paw Paw were saying their good byes.

My layout is inspired by a sketch I found on Pinterest, by Susan Stringfellow. Its pinned in my sketches board if you'd like to check it out.  http://pinterest.com/ZanetteMcCoy/sketches/

Recipe:
1 pc blue cardstock from colorblok
1 pc navy cardstock from bazil
1 pc patterned paper (a patchwork quilted pattern) from The Paper Studio (I fussy cut the "patches" apart)
1 pack of white glittered chipboard letters from recollections
1 strip of ribbon- I used Offray its a boy (I flipped it over so you cant see the its a boy side)
glue- I used Ad tech Crafters Tape in permanent
2 4x6 photos- I cut mine to 4-5.5 and 4x5
1 brown marker- I used one from Le Pen
cutting tool- I used an skilcraft cutting board

I don't think you can tell but the 2 strips of paper on the left side of my journaling where actually an after thought. Zan' Drea (my daughter) took a green Copic to my page when I went to get a drink. As an result I had to replace the second Y and add the 2 extra patches to cover her "artwork".
