Mini Album, Girls Gone Scrappy!

So here it is, this is my mini album for my trading pal with Girls Gone Scrappy. The site is public now so please check it out, you can also click on the blinkie on the side bar. I hope my pal enjoys it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. I apologize for the picture quality. It has been raining for the past 3 days and I can't seem to get good lighting in the house, so the color is a bit off. The Album itself is from the dollar spot at Michael's. The paper is Me & My Big Ideas, Parisian Flourish, also from Michael's. I used various Prima flowers, metal accents, buttons and cardstock. TFL

Great Weather = Outside Fun!!!!

 

We had a beautiful day yesterday, not to hot but hot enough to set up the pool. This was completely my DH idea. I have to admit I was a bit sceptical at first, yes I am ashamed of myself. It turned out to be the best day that we've had since we moved to our new place. My son was so excited and he had so much fun playing with his daddy in the pool.

DADDY-ICHI

This is my DH on his scavenger hunt for his birthday present. I love doing crazy things like this to surprise my husband, it makes me feel like a kid again. His present was a collection of Zatoichi. Zatoichi is a blind swordsmen from Japan who travels by walking from town to town saving the underdog. The stories are just amazing and if you don't mind reading subtitles then I definitely recommend this collection.

Now back to the layout. I haven't added the journaling yet, I am very bad with journaling. I save it for last thinking if I get the layout done the journaling will just happen. As you can see it doesn't happen for me. This is a very simple layout with very few embellishments. I find it very hard to scrap pages of my husband because I don't want the layouts to look to feminine.

Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a beautiful day!
