Fall Scrapbook Pages

Okay, so I haven't scrapbooked pictures since my daughter was born... in 2006. Since digital cameras, most of my pics are stored on my hard drive... and some still on memory cards.  I did print a bunch of my favorites, and I have a whole box of them waiting for attention.

In the spirit of fall and Halloween, I decided I would start.  Here are my first 3 pages:

Paper: Stampin' Up!

Images: The Greeting Farm, Bugaboo

Accessories: SU!, Stickers-Unknown

I had lots of fun doing these. I have 2 or 3 more pages to go. I must finish, because for now they are all my DD. I still have DS' first Halloween last year. I want to finish before this Halloween is over. My stamp room is already a mess from all the paper and bellies for this project.

Hope you enjoyed.

Har Repotter!!

OMG! Thank you, Bugaboo!!

I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I have been since high school. Every year, I revisit my Harry Potter books. This year, I have read them once, but since I've seen Bugaboo's Har Repotter set, I've been wanting to dive into them again.

Besides Harry, Dumbledore is my favorite character. It is so very easy to love him like a guardian. So, of course, my first creation using my new set would be of him.

Paper: Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Bugaboo Har Repotter- The Wise One

Accessories: SU! Brads, Ribbon, Twine, Watercolor Pencils, Dazzling Diamonds, Crystal Effects, Sponges

Did I hear you GASP!? Yes, that is a page from my Harry Potter book.

I brought out my Deathly Hallows book to read. While I was making dinner, my 18-month-old monster tore apart the book. It is completely mutilated! He pulled the pages out of the binding, and ripped pages out. Coincidentally, this half-page was the first page I discovered when I returned to my living room. Only my son truly knows how upset I was. But, I refuse to throw the book away, and I will not try to piece it back together. So...here it is...and there will be many more creations to come using my old, beat-up Deathly Hallows book.

Well, truthfully, my book wasn't the only thing my son had fun with, so I must return to life and clean.

I stamped my Thanksgiving sentiment on the inside of the card. I thought these kids were so darn cute, I couldn't pull anyone's eyeballs away from it! :0)

This card is so much fun, I plan to make one for each of my neices and nephews. Whoa! That's a lot! I better get started.
