4th of July 2005

TGIF! It's been a long week! However, I got two more scrapbook pages done! I'm on a roll! This is for the 4th of July 2005. Yep, I'm far behind.


I used My Mind's Eye papers. I used my Coluzzle templates to cut all of the circles and the ovals in the photos and the mats.



I'm really getting into this "using what I have"! The chipboard title, letters, words, and office clip are all Lil' Davis, and I've had them for quite some time. The title actually had the word "July" attached to it, but it was a very dark blue, it didn't coordinate with layout, so I cut it off and used loose letters instead. I also have so many silver star brads, so I went crazy with them. Luckily, it works for a patriotic page!

This is a closeup to show you the office clip on the photo. Isn't that cute? It's says "4th of July" on it. It makes the photo stick up a little in the center, but that's OK with me. My girls are so much bigger now . . . it's strange to be scrapbooking older photos!

This is a closeup of the title, because I like the way it turned out. Let me know what you think. I hope to get more scrapbooking done this weekend. It's going to be brutally COLD tomorrow. I think our high is supposed to be 4 degrees with negative wind chills. Brrrrr!

Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

You are my hero. Make that heroine. I try and try to do the "use what I have" thing but I just am like a wild hog when I get within a block of any scrapbook store or Joanne's. Yesterday my best friend in high school and I drove to 'Cave Creek AZ to meet up with 2 more of our high school friends; ones I had not seen in 50 years. Despite that excitement, we were traveling down Cave Creek Road and I spied a SCRAPBOOKING STORE and I yelled MYRA, STOP... Rude she just kept right on driving. Anyway I love your pages. Neat colors for a July 2005 LO.
