4th of July in the pool

I did a layout of this past 4th of July that Archie spent in our neighbors kiddie pool. I did not follow any layout for this one.

Amethyst #6

This weeks layout from scrapbooksteals.com blog focuses on our trip to Rocky Mountain National Park that we took last fall. I totally messed up on the mountain stamp near the top of the layout but think I saved it by making a frame and embossing it.

Amethyst #5

Here my layout based off of www.scrapbooksteals.com Amethyst #5 sketch. This one was much easier as the ideas and paper just clicked early on.

The photo credit for the picture in the layout again goes to Emily Smith of Smith Gallery Photography.

Amethyst #2

This layout gave me major scrapper's block. I was over thinking everything from paper choice, embellishments, even photos. I am still not completely satisfied, but I didn't want to overwork the page. Here it is without further ado.
