Hello friends. I'm so glad it's Saturday. We are hoping to fit a bike ride in later today with our daughter. It's beautiful in Texas right now. We are having our spring with high's in the 70's most days. I spent some time organizing photo's this week, since I'm trying to get back into it on a regular basis. The problem is that I love so many of the scrapbook products I see .... but so many of my photo's from years ago were in color .... and don't match. Apparently orange and blue were colors my son looked great in! I think I have to get over that feeling that everything has to match and just go for it. I need grandchildren and more black and white photo's teehee.
I used to store my photo's in these plastic "Sterilite" drawers because it seemed like an easy way to thumb through them. They were pretty much organized by year ... but a lot were not. Sometimes I would pull multiple photo's out trying to match them up ... and then never file them back. So there was a catch all drawer. So I have filed 20 years of photo's in photo albums the last couple of months. WHEW! I have given up on an notion that I will scrapbook them all. And who would want to sit down and look at that many scrapbook albums anyway. I'm excited that I have them out of drawers and in albums where my family can flip through them and look at them.
I do have a couple of cards to share today I designed using some Gina K. Designs images. I used "Retro Boutique" on this one. Isn't that dress so cute. I wanted it to be something you would want to pull out of the closet for a special event. I loved popping up the dress to make it 3-D. It's hard to see, but I added a little black party streamer to create a ruffle along the bottom. I also added some beaded trim (Hobby Lobby). The patterned paper is from Hobby Lobby.
I used "Garden Fresh" for this card. I thought the plaid ruffle trim and raffia gave it a cute farm fresh feel. This set comes with more cute fruit / veggies and phrases.
I hope you have a fun and fabulous weekend!
