i got this NICE freebie by liking the designer on facebook.

scrapbooking myself: because i can:)

using lauren reid's kit again.

i LOVE the colors...they are most totally me.

journaling courtesy of the family.

what can i say?, they know me well:) 

collage ala Laura Vegas and using some AnnaAspnes:)

ok....so i am serious:)

the digital freebie action these days has been insane!

we have been sick for the last 2 days so while everyone is recuperating, i have been busy with downloading, organizing and scrapping:) nothing like a summer cold to make you SLOOOOWWWW down.

my paper-ing:)

the last few days i have been debating whether or not to share these paper pages on my blog.

not that i have that many readers, but it was something that was on my mind on and off.

so i am sharing.

cause that's what mommies do:)

my desk ( and zoe's too).

i am putting my paper pages into this OLLLLLLDDDDDD post bound book until i can move them into my library of memories binders.

lots of old old pictures and a bunch of old stuff.

more kraft paper backgrounds and mismatched letters.

stampin up paper from like eons ago and more old pictures:)

mismatched letters and crack paper...remember that?

and that is it.

loving the way i am going back and reaching into the dark recesses of my poor overworked brain.

were my kids ever this little?

they must have been because there is photographical evidence.

and it is fun fun dun:)

a freebie from lauren reid:)

ok. i am REALLY bad @ keeping track of what freebie comes from where.

Lord knows i try:)

so from now on i am going to include the preview for the kit or template so i can remember who made it.

i LOOOOOOOOOVE this kit.pretty sure it was a newsletter freebie?

it is so me and has so many uses.

right now anything colorful screams pool/beach to me, so that is what i used my copy for.

also the template is from mandagirl....google her, she has AMAZE-BALL freebies and templates.

i have used this particular template before but i love the way she does multi-photo layouts. SO COOL:)

also purchased a few sets and i use them ALL the time.

summer freebie # 17 : Penny Stringham

click for school 4x6 bragbook:) YAY!

sooooo going to use this this year:)))

update on my paper scrapping: 11 pages and 35 pictures scrapped. there IS light @ the end of the tunnel. i know it can be done. just trying to get the stories and the pictures done. it goes in stops and starts and it is working and the memories are still clear.
that's a good thing...especially on a day when i am wondering if my brain is working at all:)
