For your entertainment

For all you scrapbookers out there, was there any one thing that really sold you on the hobby?

Or was there anything that helped define you as a scrapbooker?

For me it was this magazine/idea book.

This was my first idea book purchase ever.

And I developed a major scrapbooking crush on Becky Higgins.

(But who doesn't have one, right?!)

I think I have used every sketch in this magazine at least one time.

It might have been the best $14.95 I have ever spent.

So for your entertainment I thought I would share just a few of the layouts I made based on sketches from this book.

(Really, I was organizing pictures on my computer earlier and came across these old layouts of mine. I was entertained by them so I thought I would give you a chuckle also)

**Disclaimer: These layouts are well over 4 years old. Handle with care.**

Let's see, here's Lee playing in a baseball league.

I loved those Making Memories foam stamps that are used for the title here. I think I used them on every layout for a year. Seriously.

Rockin' the Dymo here!

I loved these Making Memories rub-ons too.

See, I knew my card-holder layout was not original!
Becky is smarter than me.


I see that my love for brads has withstood the test of time.

OK this one is getting a little bit better.
It is from my cute sister-in-law's lingerie shower.

But to redeem myself, here are a few relatively recent ones that I submitted to CK.
If only they could see into my heart and know how much I love these sketches, they might finally publish one of mine.

I still have that original Sketches book.

And the 2nd one.

Stop laughing at me.

Have a great night.
