It All Started Here

Wow! It's been awhile huh. Summer is so busy for us. Trying to keep my boys busy and out of trouble is a full time job. I have made a few layouts though and wanted to share some.
 
This is a layout about my sister and my first boy Gus. When Gus was 3 months old, we went on our annual camping trip to the Garlic Festival in Ocean Park Washington with my family. My sister brought a ton of photos and she was rounding all the corners of them trying to get ready for an upcoming scrapbook weekend. I piped up and said "See!! That's what I need to do. Take a whole weekend and make a baby album for Gus." which made Lisa say "Well, why don't you come with me?" and the rest is history.
 



I have been wanting to scrapbook this photo for a long time now and the Sail kit form Scraptastic Club was perfect for it. I used a sketch form Studio Calico that really show cases my photo.
 
 
 
I really had fun with this layout. Remembering how I started scrapbooking and how much I love this craft.
Thanx for stopping by and enjoy your scraps!!!
