CAS-Scrapbook Style

One of the blogs I follow and check almost daily is the oh-so-talented Jennifer Buck. I've been seeing her post these Clean and Simple Scrapbook challenges on her blog and keep telling myself I NEED to do some of these. They are great layouts and make for quick pages, something I need these days because of the ever growing stack of photos I have to scrap. I whipped out these two pages in a little over an hour (thanks to Nicholas needing some help and attention). Here's the sketch from last week, CASSB04. And here is my page. The catch with this sketch was that you HAD to journal on your page. No big deal for me since I always journal. Here's the story behind this page. It's really not a story, it just says, " It's all about the video games. NOT all the time, but they play their fair share, especially in the winter months. Here all 3 are into the Nintendo DS."
This next one is a 1 photo layout, something I find myself doing more and more these days. I used to never put just 1 picture on a layout and now I find I can make it work. I had put off buying the SU scrappin' kit, 2 Sweet, because it was so girly. But I loved the color combo and the lined "notebook" paper in the kit. So, I finally told myself to just get it. Plus, I told myself, with the basic grey color I could make it work for boy pages. This is the sketch for this week, CASSB05. Try it. I did and I love how it turned out. Don't you just love playing airplane with little kids. Tim was quick one day and took this picture of me and Nicholas. He giggles so hard that it makes me laugh and I almost end up dropping him. I love those belly laughs!

Hopefully you'll be inspired to scrap something this week. Start small and you'll feel good!

Hugs, Lisa
