Dress-Up Doll

Being the youngest is a really good deal...except for those days when you become the dress-up doll for your two older sisters. I have no doubt that they got a lot of giggles out of this one....judging by my face I was not very pleased. This picture cracks me up every time I see it!
I purposely left the background large as I wanted to show the context - the front porch of the house and my grandmother sitting behind me reading the newspaper. She would have made sure that things did not get out of hand!

I used the 'Butterflies Kit' by Kimberly Stewart

I also made the page into a Quick Page Freebie for you (sans the stitching & ribbon detail)

Do You Journal?

I do, sometimes....I also like to do art journalling, although I must say those, like the LO below are usually quotes. I found this quote in a book I just finished and even though he states the obvious, we don't always see it, or think about it in such 'simple' terms. That is what grabbed me about the quote.

I used the 'Once In A Lifetime Collection' by Lonetta Avelar for this page.

The Many Faces Of Her...

I just love this collection of portraits. Especially the one top right!

I used Lonetta Avelar's "Insomniac Collection" for my page. It is also available from Scrapbook-Bytes HERE  There is the option to buy just the kit, or selected add-ons, or the entire collection (pictured here)

I turned the border, running along the right side of my page, into a gift for you again.

Thanks for stopping by...and happy scrapping!

Youth Camp LO and a Freebie

Browsing the folders full of old pictures sure bring back a lot of memories. I can just imagine what it is like for my parents when they see, not only these pictures, but also those black-and-white ones I've been scrapping over the years.
For this LO though, I only went back to 1974. That was just the other days, right? Well what is 40 years between friends? LOL

Here's my LO - Youth Camp at Alpha, March 1974.

And the kit I used is by Cathy Krenek 'The Little Things' Aren't the colours the best for my pictures? (and the kit is only $2.00 until tomorrow! (Sept 5))

I know I will use the kit for at least one more LO, so I went ahead and created a border in advance. Thanks to Cathy for letting me offer it to you as a freebie!
