Scrappers Anonymous


Hi. My name is scrappeabarbie and I am a scrap addict. I have to complete at least one page every night before I can even think about going to bed. Here is my page for tonight for the GG scraplift challenge. I just love this one with all the little hearts and embellies tucked into the cut out circles! That was a genius idea Laura had there.

This pic is of me at the beach, San Diego. DH and I took the greyhound bus out there in July 99 to help get his brother Vern and wife moved back to Iowa. We took the bus so we could drive their car back and they drove the UHaul. I am so bummed that I have like no good pics from this trip. This is one of the best ones and it is not great. All we had back then was dh's crappy old cheap-o 35 mm camera. And back then, I wasn't taking pictures with scrapbooking in mind, always trying to get the perfect shot, you know. I have tons of scenery pics from in the car on the way home. But I want people pics. Pics of me and dh together on the beach, etc. All I have are some of me 3 mo. pregnant in a bikini. Pics I am too embarrased to scrap and actually show to people. I guess we will just have to take another trip to the beach. My oldest ds would love that! So would I.

FREESTYLE CHALLENGE #6: mix up your letters

Used various letter rub-ons for the title of this one. I really like how this turned out. Oh, and the journaling says: Look at you, bud. You've been scooting all over the house for over a month now and just look what you found today! It won't be long before nothing in the house is safe from little hands!
