MORE 'catching up on 30 years'.

I am still working hard to catch up on the 30 years I didn't scrapbook the girls' growing-up years. So at least once a week, I'll share some of their layouts. I'm not working on them in any particular order... just working! This layout has a very early photo of Wendy, all tucked into a little ball with her bottom in the air. My mom found this precious antique crib for her. It was small and she was big (Wendy was 9lbs 13oz and Kristin was 10lbs 10 ozs... ouch!!!) I did sew back in those days and made the sheets, bumper-guards, and appliqued pillow. On the LO I journaled on a clear piece of acetate and put it over the patterned paper with brads.

I think it's interesting how different individual styles are of scrapbookers. My daughters always say that they would recognize mine anyplace. I use a lot of patterned paper and rarely pastel colors. The elephants were scanned and saved and then enlarged and printed on cardstock. I use that technique a lot for embellishments.

Silly Wendy! She has the greatest sense of humor... always has. In this photo she had on a headband with wire feelers on it. I cut them off in the picture and actually made them of wire for dimension. The alligator came from the paper background, scanned, enlarged, printed and cut out. I added some googly eyes to go along with the silliness of the LO.
Instead of journaling in a narrative form, I just added a list of adjectives that described Wendy.

Thanks for letting me share. That's so much fun!
