Creative Memories, Anyone?

Jess, I love your Quarry page. Very creative. That is so cool that you have a workspace now.

Anna, you already know I love all of your pages ;)

I went to a scrapbooking party a week ago and I was there from 7:30pm to midnight. I only did one page and it is just as boring as the rest of mine. You should see all the other ladies pages. I feel very inadequate and realize that I am NOT a creative person...lol. I don't know if I will give it another try or not. I am starting to get a pretty good supply of scrapbook stuff but I have a feeling I have wasted a bunch of money;). I sat there at the crop party not even talking to anyone and just trying to come up with some kind of idea. I am really bad at this...lol. I should have known better. I never have been very creative. I love seeing everyone's pages and I hope you will keep posting them as you go along!

I never heard about scrapbooking before :o . But I must admit that it very much appeals to me!! In fact, I want to learn that too! He he, my next book from the library or shop will be about scrapbooking!!I hope I can find something though, as it is something typical American:D

Robilee- My first albums were very boring-same size pictures, same shape, same everything. The more I've scrapped, the more ideas I steal from other people!

Maya and Inka's mom- Maybe you can find some books on Ebay??? Here in America, you can find scrapbooking stuff everywhere! I'm surprised you can't find much overseas!

Wow! You guys sure's got some great pages (and worktop!)!!! I make albums, I wouldn't really call them scrapbooks, but I do love to make a bit of a design on them. The one I'm making at the moment is Spartacus'. I'm doing all the pages in black and some vibrant colour. (Sorry bad piccies... I'm no good at taking piccies of piccies!)

The red rectangle on the bottom half of that page, is actually a booklet... untwirl the thread that's around the button, and there's all the rest of the Christmas piccies!

Best wishes, Sylvie, KS' mom

Wonderful pages, Sylvie! I love seeing everyone's pages.

Spartcus- I would call that a scrapbook! Great idea about the little booklet with the christmas pictures- I might have to steal that one! :D

Jess and King Spartacus, I love your pages! I'm going to take some pics of mine and put them up later. I'm not even supposed to be here now. I'm in the middle of cleaning.

Cleaning?! Whats that? ;)

Jessica, I absolutely LOVE your newest one. I wish I had taken a picture, but I made a really nice memorial for my mother's co-worker for their dog, and I used dried up flowers. It turned out real nice.

Anna, I love that one with Angus and Mark. It's too precious.

Robin, I love the birthday one for Katie. Those pictures are some of my favorites.

chrangharries, That spaghetti idea was fantastic! Looks great. Misha is too cute.

Sylvie, Those are very nice! I love the colors and they're very well organized.


Here's one really cruddy one of mine, but I think it's probably my favorite. (Just because of the content)

That is great, Kay! I love it. You should post some more of yours.

Everyone is so creative!

Kfmar- Cruddy- I don't think so!! I love how you used the scraps and the edged scissors! The border on the side is a great idea- I always end up with mine on the top of the page or if I'm real daring, on the bottom!

Here's mine.
My favorite.

Everytime I look at everyone else's pages I feel like my pages are a bit drab in comparison, but I also think everyone's creative streaks work differently. That's what makes everyone's pages unique and so fun to look at. I know I'll get better as I go along and as I get more equipment. Right now I mostly just have the very basics.

I think that's a pretty good design Kay, I have to agree I enjoy the little scraps and all the various shapes you used. You have a lot of talent with design and layouts as well as great use of colors, textures, and shapes :).

Val I really love your pages too, I've been checking back in this thread off and on in anticipation of seeing them :). I think you really have an eye for layout and color too, I had to just sit awhile and take in all the details of your pages. That April showers one is really artistic! I just can't decide which of the Duke ones I like best, they just all look fantastic to me, the paper, the pictures, the layouts, everything :).

I truly enjoy everyone's pages, even those of you who feel your pages are not creative, to me I see creativity in all of them! I also sure appreciate the different ideas for future projects :).

W:eek: W!! everyone's pages are just AWSOME!!! I just started scrapbooking last week and I must say that I am hooked!!lol...I will have to post some pics I already have 7 pages!:o ....I love to look at everybodys pages keep the pictures coming!!:D

dukesmom- On the Dog Days page- did you do the letters out of pictures? If so, how did you do that??? I love all of your pages!!

Yeah, they were from the sand and the grass. I was at my scrapbook store and they let me use the die cutter there. They have parties every Friday night. Thanks for the compliments, too.

Just went to a scrapbook party tonight....
Here's my new page, I love it:D

I'm going to attach a full size too so you can see all the neat little sayings you can't read with it this size.

I think this is one of my favorite pages!

Anna, that is so good! It's bittersweet to see that sweet Angus, again. I think of him often. The page looks great!

anna, that's beautiful. :)

Alright Anna, I love the one of Angus and his daddy but that one takes the cake. I love it. It's gorgeous. You know how much I love that boy of your's. I'm going to have to make something to add to his little memorial in my room.


I just did one tonight while clearing my mind. I did one of my big boy, too. :) Too bad we don't live closer, would have been great to do them together. :)

(see attached)

Thanks ladies, I love it too:o

Kay, that's awesome! I would have never thought to use the dog hair like that, what a great idea!
Would be nice if we lived close and could do some scrapping together:)

Everyone's pages lokk spectacular!! You all are so creative1

Kay- That's a great idea! I really like your pages!

no! I didn't forgethis.. :o

bumping this back up after I sent a PM to mommyoft3cats a reminder for her scrapictures!! :)

wow, haven't visited this thread for so long...

spanighetti, quarry, spartacus, duke (& especially april showers), angus, muttlies & more has great pages!! the best part of scrapbook I love about is.. colorful photographic, of course. :) terrific job, you.

guess what? remember I mentioned about my birthday friend, doing a scrapbook for her? I've finished it!!! 27 pages total.. :eek: did it all in three days with few hours of sleep. had to finish it before she moves to another state. I would share but most of you shared pet pages. :p

lynne, finn's mom & maya & inka's mommy -- welcome!! :D :D hope you had some pages starting...? hope to see mommyof3cats pictures soon and I've begin to wonder where's sylvie/spartacus's mom? :confused:

27 pages in 3 days!! WOW! You need to share with us- it doesn't matter that there are no pets involved- we need ideas!! :D

I'm working on a special album just for Misha- it is going to have a page devoted to each family member and something special from that member. I've been working on that album lately!

if you ask so, sure. :D :p I know!! I'm glad (and surprised) I could do that! well, since there's so many pictures with me in it, I only can share a few. however, I can tell you what I did. I "weavered" the papers I cutted into tiniest strips as I can.. they usually are the background around the corners. if a few strips left over, I also make 4-8 holes with hole puncher around the corners and weave last strip into it. the picture looked like it has been sewed! :) oh, I did add a bow on one corner. with a thick enough thread, not ribbon or else.

now, here this scrapbook came out very colorful and is the simplest I've ever made, easier for my girl-friend to look at because she is mildly blind.

a few first pages later..

it's a 3-D scrapbook!!! :D you should see the last page through this 3D glass, it was SO cool! you see, see the yellow sticker says "FUN"? it definitely looks like a sticker but when you look through that 3D, 'FUN' looks like it floats under the pool!! and the sun part...WOW. AWESOME. I swear. yellows and blues has a good contrast for 3D, and pinks/reds vs blues, purples vs greens too. really, you've gotta see it for yourself someday! :) anyway, I was nervous giving this scrapbook to her...she loveeeed it!! and said 3D glasses helped her seeing pictures better. yay.

ps; just heard that mommyof3cats wouldn't be able to post her scraphotos up for a while more.. and I look forward to your, chrangharris's more misha!!

anyone else too? ..we're going back in the circle. :D

Gina- What great pages! They are so colorful! The 3-D effect must be great- I've never heard of someone doing that!
