Tall Ships Scrapbook

I’ve been meaning to post this project for months! I finished this scrapbook sometime in either late January or early February. I was so proud to finish it and to give my mom something so special.
To explain the scrapbook a little bit, my mom and I went to see the Tall Ships when they were in Duluth in August last year and before she headed home I offered to put all of the pictures that we took on a CD for her. She responded with, “Oh, I thought you’d make me a scrapbook.” Nice hint Mom – maybe you could spell it out more? :)
Once I started to work on the scrapbook. I came to a road block almost instantly. How do you create a scrapbook based on something that only lasted a couple of hours? Better yet – how do you make it interesting? Well, I hope I accomplished that – Trav helped me write a story tale about the day and I added the pictures to help tell that story. I hope you enjoy it!

This last photo is actually missing a clear CD holder that I put on the outside of the sleeve protector to store a CD with all of the pictures from our adventure.

What do you think? Any techniques that you like? What would you have done different?

Been A Long Time Comming

Growing up my mom always used to get frustrated with me 'cause she said that I never followed through with anything. I'd start something and then forget about it. Her nagging voice pops up in my head whenever I don't stick with something, my blog being one of them. Funny thing is, I always get disappointed when one of my favorite bloggers doesn't blog frequently, but here I am, months after I started my blog with only one post! July, 20th resolution - try to post something on my blog at least once a week.

Travis proposed on February 14th and the wedding, work and my nephew seem to have consumed all of my time since. Luckily the wedding is set for October 20th, 2012, so we have plenty of time to plan and CRAFT! Our wedding is going to have a lot of DIY projects and I can't wait! Trav keeps saying that the wedding is my "excuse" to craft without having to dip into my hobby budget. Um... maybe he's got a point, but it's for the "greater good" so that's okay. Right? LOL!
