On Monday, I posted a layout of Jessica looking up in the sky at a motorized paraglider. I mentioned that I hoped to do another coordinating layout with the rest of the pictures from that trip to the playground. Well, here is that layout.

Journaling reads: Jessica and our neighbor’s grandson Braydon enjoy playing together. The playground’s always more fun with playmates.

This next layout is for my parent’s Canadian Rockies trip album. I wanted to share it, because I’ve always felt it weird to do a scrapbook page with no pictures. Well, this page has no pictures and I don’t think it’s weird. Due to the fog, my Dad didn’t take any pictures, but I wanted to include the skyride tickets and some journaling so they wouldn’t forget they did try to see skyline views of Vancouver.

Top journaling spot reads: We saw a mountain lumberjack show in the outdoor amphitheater. It featured log rolling, a 60-foot tree climb, two-man peg and raker saws, axe throwing, and an exciting springboard chop.

Lower journaling spot reads: Fog covered the view during the skyride and it was like being in a cloud at the top. It was rather disappointing to miss seeing the Vancouver skyline and Pacific Ocean from such a vantage point.

Do you like my arrows? I made those elements myself using paper from the kit and punches in my software. I especially like the circles I punched out of the arrows to allow the map to peak through.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day.

I apologize that I haven’t blogged much lately. I entered a digital scrapbooking contest and that is keeping me a little busy. Hopefully, I can share my round two entry with you Wednesday. (My round one layout is going to be a Christmas present for someone who may or may not read my blog, so I’m going to wait to share it.) In the meantime, here is another layout I recently finished.

It was a challenge to complete. I followed this month’s Bytes-to-Go challenge at Scrapbookbytes.com. My order was 3 photos, 5 papers, one of which will be embossed (can be used more than once), 3-5 stars, 10 or more flowers, 3 different ribbons/string, 1 frame, 2 different paint splats, glitter or scatters, a large title, stitching, and 2 word strips. The most challenging part for me was to use 10 or more flowers.

I also used Sketchabilities Sketch #54. It inspired me to do the Bytes-to-Go challenge since I felt that it would best allow me to use all those embellishments.

Journaling reads: Our after-dinner trip to the neighborhood playground ended with a sighting of a motorized paraglider. We heard it first and then Jessica pointed it out. She enjoyed watching it go up and down above the preserve. August 26, 2011

Look! Up in the Sky.

I hope to do a coordinating second layout to scrap the photos from the rest of the trip to the playground.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day.

Yesterday was Jessica’s first day of school. I was excited for her and scared at the same time. She hates the church nursery at SHPC and is not the biggest fan of Mommy leaving and even sometimes not the biggest fan of Daddy leaving in the morning to go to work. But apparently, I didn’t need to be worried.

I, of course, want to scrapbook this momentous event. I really liked this sketch from Sassy Lil’ Sketches and thought it would work really well with the best picture I was able to get of Jessica on her first day of school. You might notice she’s pointing at the Elmo on her shirt. That was the only way I could get her to look at me, by asking what was on her shirt.

Journaling reads: This year, Jessica started attending the Mother’s Day Out Program at Abiding Love Lutheran Church on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 AM to 1 PM. Her teachers, Ms. Karen and Ms. Lacy, said her first day went great. She only cried for about 5 minutes after Daddy dropped her off. Another little girl came up and gave her a hug and said it was okay. After that, she enjoyed playing with the other kids in her class.
