Life's a BEACH~~word album

Oh boy...going to have to make many a trip to the beach this summer. I have done yet another beach-y type mini. Bought this Bo Bunny BEACH album on a previous trip to Albuquerque to visit my Dad. Love the irony of having bought a beach album in a desert.
Anyway...it was only fitting I use some Bo Bunny Sun Kissed papers to decorate it. Just finished it up today. I think it came out pretty awesome...if I do say so myself...and I do :)

thanks for looking!!!

Anyway...made the little album to put some pictures in...now we gotta go! LOL

Details to be added later...here it is:

Simple Stories + Paper Bag = Summer Mini

Finally found some time to get my scrap on. I made this little paper bag mini using Simple Stories 100 Days of Summer Collection, a pieces of cardboard and some paper bags. It came together quickly. I used twine to bind the paper bag pages to the cardboard cover inside of stitching or binder rings like I usually do. Once I get some photos in it, I plan on adding some more accent stickers and such. Bring on the SUMMER!!!

I LOVE the crunchy goodness of a paper bag album. Can't wait to fill this with photos.
Thanks for looking!!!

LegoLand Album..scrapping with my sunglasses on...

We took a trip to LegoLand this past March. Had a blast! Took a ton of pictures...so this trip needed its own album. They had this cute scrapbook kit in one of the gift shops...so I bought it. I don't usually scrap (at least not anymore) with themed kits. I literally have forgotten how to use bright paper with large pictures and bright stickers. This was a huge challenge for me and almost required me to wear sunglasses. I let the Lego kit kick my butt for a couple of days...and then I decided to just go for it. To make it even more difficult, I opted to use an 8x8 album I already had on hand. I had to strategically cut the 12x2 paper to stretch it out to last the entire album. Although this is not my style of scrapping anymore, I am none the less happy with the outcome. But....no more themed kits like this for me!
