i've got nothin'

too much work

too much wedding

too much traveling

not enough time

not enough scrapping!

:)

I have been trying to clean up and organize my pictures and put everything on an external hard drive.

And I stumbled upon some very old layouts I made and started doing a little scrappy reminiscing!

For example, the first ever design team I was on was for an online store called Essence of Memories

{unfortunately it is no longer open...no comments Katie or Virginia!}

The first design team box I got was full of Gen X stuff.

{anyone remember that company??! i think it had another name too. i loved it whatever it was called!}
The first assignment as a team member was to do an "all about me" layout.

Voila!

And I made this layout too with all my goodies.
This was just the first of many times that I scrapped feet on the beach pictures!

And then here are first 2 layouts I ever had published.

They were in the same issue of Scrapbook Trends but I don't remember which issue exactly.

{i am pretty sure i have the original issue around here somewhere!}

I got the emails requesting the layouts when I was at work and dangit if no one there wanted to share my excitement!!
:)

Here is the first layout I ever had published for pay.

It was for a special issue of Memory Makers.

And it further deepened my love of Nascar.

And unlike most of the layouts on this post, I still like this page!

And this might be my favorite layout off all time.

still.

My style used to be alot funkier.
Now it is pretty clean and normal.
I wonder why the change.
Maybe it is my old age.
:)
And I hope you enjoyed my trip down scrappy memory lane!
No laughing at my layouts!
