weekend layouts

Love: one of my favorite pictures...used scraps for this layout.

One Year Later: Used my June Cocoa Daisy kit. I think this one is my favorite layout. Clean and simple.

Ooh: Another favorite. I love this background paper! Used some elements from June Cocoa Daisy kit and then scraps from my stash.

You Make Me Smile: I have had this elephant paper for years....happy to use it with this photo.

Waiting for the show!: I am in love with this background paper! And it fit the theme perfectly:)

Had a few girlfriends over on Saturday and I got this stack of layouts done. Might add a few details here and there (like dates the photos were taken) but they are mostly done. I need to budget out money to buy two 3 ring scrapbooks. I have one from years ago. I loved how simple it was to use but I really don't like how they sit on my shelves...they stick out really far. So I have always used post-bound. But I'm finding that Ellie's 1st year baby book outgrew the postbound album. It's literally busting at the seams. And in general I don't scrap chronologically. So I think a 3-ring would be useful for me. I have one that I'm using for my childhood/old photos album and it has been helpful for that project. I just find they are so expensive! I usually buy albums with a coupon at M's. Have to see if I can do that for a 3-ring.

Looking forward to a fun Monday. My husband has the day of...which NEVER happens! So we are planning to go to the beach this a.m. Unfortunately I have class tonight....but we will enjoy our day.

Happy Monday!
