We are off to the lake today and I'm bringing these cool pages along my friend Marilyn worked up for me for our July swap. We are a bit ahead of ourselves! My theme for July was "Trips" and I dug up some photos for Marilyn from a trip to Paris I made in the summer between Freshman and Junior year in Highschool. I unfortunately can't remember much about where we took the photos, so I am going to try to rely on my Aunt's memory. I might have her do my journalling too. It might be cool to talk about having her niece hang out for the large part of the summer with them. I will post them back when we're done!
All the pages Marilyn and I are doing for each other go into a book by themselves, so at the end, we will have a completed book made by the other person! I am sticking with an overall theme of Childhood for mine, so they all will have some kind of order. I must admit, if you have a good scrap buddy, this is so much fun. Very exciting as you never know what they are going to do. And if you love their style, it's like getting a hug in the mail followed by chocolate!
My other new fun post is exciting for me! I won the ScrapFit Weekend Workout #9! So exciting to see my name in print! Check it out here! The page I submitted is my Garden page...check it out on the side of their blog!
BEFORE
My other fun thing is my new little desk/table I got for my scrap corner. I have before and after photos! I can now add more sewing to my projects since I have my sewing machine set up. I am a firm believer in having your tools accessable so you can use them!
AFTER!
The last couple of pages I did all had machine sewing! And I'm really happy how they turned out. I see a bunch of blogs this week talking about sewing on pages and there are a couple about what needles and thread works the best. Nothing is worse than snapping a needle or broken thread when you rolling along with your machine!
Anyhow, have a Happy 4th! I am not sure when I will post next, but it might be one about the wedding we went to OR the 4 wheeling the next day...super fun stuff!

ReplyDeleteLovely layout and I am loving your new space!
ReplyDeleteI think the page swapping idea is fabulous...it really is so great that each of you will have a completed album by the other person at the end. So nice getting new furniture and organizers for ones scrap space..makes things so much more efficient. :)
