Nebo's scrapbook <pics>

***EDIT***New scrapbook page pics added to page 3!


I know this is completely dorky but I'm amused by it so that's all that matters, right? ;) There's nothing else I'm interested in enough to make a scrapbook of, so it's all about Nebo!

I've been making this for a while...I'm not even close to being finished. There's other PT meetings to make pages of, more seasons, holidays, events...it will be a long time before I'm done! I have sooo many pictures to use!

Oh, and I've never made one before I really have no idea what I'm doing! And I know it's incredibly cheesy!!

These are not in the order they will be in the finished book...just the order I've made them in, which is obviously kind of random.

I think this is the only one in the right order, this will stay the first page! :)

It just came with blank white sheets...I've used a couple of the white sheets but the rest are just assorted backgrounds I've bought.

[luvofallhorses]

it looks great!! :D I am going to start scrapbooking of my pets soon! :D

[cyber-sibes]

Wonderful scrapbook! Great way to "entertain yourself" - and thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.

[shais_mom]

Great Job Amy!!!
I am working on one for my girls too!

[RobiLee]

I can not believe you actually used the word "dorky"! Shame on you!! This is fabulous and soooo special! This is something that you will always treasure. You are doing such a wonderful job and are very talented. Nebo is so lucky to have you and you to have him. What a great mommy you are. I hope that if we ever meet that I can sit and look through that scrapbook in person. Its Fantastic!!

Robin :)

That's all....for now....I have a million other pages planned :o

[lute]

OMG! that's a wonderful scrapbook! i wish i had one for Beanie! i just put a million pics of him in a mess on the wall.lol

[veegan]

oh yay! Im glad you posted some photos of it! and wow youre moving so fast! lol I feel dorky sometimes too when I tell people I scrapbook. hahaha my sister is a hardcore scrapbooker, and she sort of got me into it like.. man, 8 years ago? but she is SO AMAZING at it, its kind of intimidating, and its not really my thing (plus its expensive! and I didnt have a job back when I first started) so I only have 1 scrapbook done. havent worked on it in probably 5 years at least lol. I just have my europe scrapbook that Ive been trying to finish for over 2 years- BORING. like you said, Brock (well and my mews), are the only things Im interested enough in to spend all the time and energy scrapbooking. lol in fact the majority of the scrapbook I have completed is of my pets.

your pages are looking so awesome! its making me very excited to get started on Brock's!!! :D I cant believe this is your first scrapbook! Ive seen a lot of scrapbooks, and yours is 300 times better than the majority of them. lol I love the black reggie & sydney page, and the "dog bone times" one looks awesome too! love the white outlines of the photos on it. (did you cut around the edges on those photos, or were the backgrounds already white??) also, that middle photo on the 1st xmas page is a total Brock face. ;) and I LOVE the photos on the page with the poem- nebo is so gorgeous! oh and I just noticed- Brock has that green bandana from your front page too. :)

thanks for posting! Id love to see more as you make them.

[tomkatzid]

WOW, what a great job. Wish we had that for our girls. You put so much time and work into it. It really turned out cute. I love it. I will send a link to my scrapbooker friend. She will show it around her offfice to all the doggie lovers !!!

[Cincy'sMom]

Excellent!! I wish I had the time or the ability to make scrapbooks for my dogs....i have 4X6 album I putmy favorite pictures in for each of them, but nothing as creative or extensive as what you ahve been able to do!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Wow, I loved every page. Ok, be honest, how much time did they take you?

I would love to do a scrapbook, but I don't have a lot of time. For my sisters graduation the parents of each graduate (there were only 17) were suppose to put together a display table of them. Well my parents have never cared to get involved with anything concerning my sister or me, so I put together her table. I made a scrapbook type thing on a couple big display boards. It came out pretty good. The problem was finding the time to sit down and work on it. Almost every night for weeks I would work on it from around 11:00 until 1:00 or even 2:00. It was fun, but it wore me out.

[K9soul]

That is beautiful! VERY creative and well done. Makes me wish I could page through it in person, I love scrapbooks and albums :). Looks like you put a lot of work into it!

[Kristl]

that is really neat and a really great idea! i think i am going to "copy off you"! ps Nebo is a gorgeous dog!

[EssTer]

This is really beautiful scarpbook ;) Nebo´s SO handsome ;)

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Wow, you did a great job on Nebo's scrapbook!! Wish I could do Blaze's that well! His and Bandit's don't even come CLOSE to competing with yours! Nebo's so handsome!;)

[Miranda_Rae]

WOW!!! :eek: Thats great!!! :D Its very good. Was it expensive to make? You are very creative. :)

[wolf_Q]

Thanks!! :D


love the white outlines of the photos on it. (did you cut around the edges on those photos, or were the backgrounds already white??)

I glued the pics onto white paper and cut around to make the white edges. You HAVE to post pics when you do Brocks scrapbook, I bet it will be great!


Wow, I loved every page. Ok, be honest, how much time did they take you?

I'm not sure exactly...the actual 'putting it together' doesn't take that long. What I do first is sort through all my pics I have for each page. I cut them down to as many as will fit. Then I find a background I like and try to arrange the pics. That is the hard part, deciding how you want it arranged. Once you have that figured out the rest is easy!


Was it expensive to make?

It adds up really fast, so I'd have to say yes. The actual scrapbook was $15 and it came with 10 sheets (20 pages). To buy extra pages for this particular scrapbook it's $5 for only 5 sheets which doesn't last me long. The paper is around 50 cents per sheet which doesnt sound like much but after you buy a ton of it it is! Then there's getting my digital pictures printed which is about 19 cents a picture....I've spent waaaay too much on that....stickers, other various stuff...yeah it's not cheap. I don't even want to know how much I've spent already. :eek: But I think it's worth it in the end. ;)

[Lexi_Lover]

That's really really good! I am getting all the supplies for Lexi's too! I love your ideas! Nebo is a gorgeous boy, you must be so prud of him also we can't forget Reggie and Sydney! LOL!

Its so expenisive up here for those things too! The scrapbook which contains 20 pages costs $24.98 and each set of pages which includes: a couple of theme pages, stickers, stencils, little decorations are $5.98 each...but I can't seem to find any of the dog pages! Like the dog house and such! Would I be able to find those at Wal-Mart do you think:confused:

[veegan]

yeah my sister uses mostly creative memories (http://creativememories.com) for her scrapbook supplies, because apparently they are the safest, and thats what Ive used in the past. but for Brock's scrapbook Im just going to use the cheaper stuff because first of all, Im sure it will still last a long time, just not necessarily FOREVER, and 2nd, Im also going to be using digital prints, so if they get ruined its not a huge deal. plus Im the only person whos going to be looking at the scrapbook pretty much. its not like Im making scrapbooks of my children that will be passed down from generation to generation. lol

[wolf_Q]

The doghouse and dog newspaper are Karen Foster designs. I got them at a store called For Every Scrapbook. Here's the website where I think you can order some or locate a retailer that sells those designs. http://www.karenfosterdesigns.com I have some other sheets that I haven't used yet as well as a bunch of dog related stickers.

I'm not caring whether I'm using the best stuff either, it's just a scrapbook I'm making for fun. I'm just buying stuff that I like from various stores, I don't care if it's the best. Even the cheap stuff gets expensive though. :o

ahh! great pages!! and the puppy pictures are SO CUTE!!!

I just bought a TON of scrapbook shiz tonight, and am (STILL) weeding through my hundreds (actually its probably more like thousands, but I already looked through all those and got it down to about 450!) of photos of Brock......... Im getting it down to a managable number now though. lol hopefully the final total will be under 200............ @_@

[jenfer]

Wow, Amy!!! You did a great job!!! I am never that talented. Even if you gave me the same material, it will look horrible. lol. Hope to see more!!!

[Vette]

:eek: Wow!!! how do you do that?

the love your Nebo shines right through. :D

[wolf_Q]

Thanks! :)

I can't wait to see Brock's scrapbook....it will be great! Deciding pics really is hard though. :o I try to divide mine into sections then divide it down from there for each page.

[Cookiebaker]

I love your scrapbook!! It's really beautiful! :)
