Preserving Memories: From over the summer...

 I haven't updated my digital scrapbook creations in a while. Here is some of what I've worked on over the summer!

Preserving Memories: July 1-7

I had visions of enormous amounts of scrapbooking this summer! That hasn't exactly happened. But I'm catching up on other things so hopefully I will have more time in the coming days and weeks to do so! When I can focus without distraction, I can usually knock out 1-2 pages in about an hour. I've not had that time for scrapbooking, but have been able to finish many other things and also am working on scanning in old photos and slides for our family. So I'm being productive with my memory keeping even if the scrapping is slow!

Here is my one page for the week...

Preserving Memories: April 15-20

This is my very busy time of year. I'm wrapping up the English class I teach including grading several projects and a major test, then calculating my student's semester grades. I'm also preparing for my piano recital and I have 27 students participating this year! I also have several projects on my plate and don't have as much free time for scrapbooking. Here are the few layouts had time to make. Expect lots of scrapping this summer while I'm on break from my jobs!

Preserving Memories: Week of February 11

I only have a couple of layouts to share this week. I haven't spent much time scrapping this week. In the extra time I've had I'm trying to build some new habits in regards to taking care of our home and organizing. I'm also working on a writing project. These things coupled with choosing to go to bed a little early each night this week meant less time to scrap. Still, I squeezed in a couple of layouts I love!

1. This first layout is from a fun weekend getaway my husband and I enjoyed a few years ago. When he saw this layout he said, "Why am I chopping your foot?" That made me laugh because I remember taking this photo as he wiped the sand off my feet. We were on our way back home and didn't have a towel or anything, so he told me to sit down so he could help me clean off my feet. He's such a servant and these are the memories I cherish!

2. You saw the first page of our 2009 trip to Mt. Airy last week. This is the complimenting second page where I posted more pictures. I love using a more artistic layout paired with a pocket-style layout page for my books when I have a lot of pictures. They compliment each other well when paired side-by-side and it is fun for me to scrap both styles!
