Scrapbook Night

We had a good time at scrapbooking night. Thanks to those of you who came. It motivates me to get moving. I was able to get one layout done. I wish I was faster!! The background paper (navy) is a leathery texture it's pretty cool!!

Weekly Challenge #1

Megan had an idea of doing a weekly scrapbook challenge. This weeks challenge was a two page layout dedicated to our High School Reunion. It didn't end up how I planned in my head but it felt good to do some scrapping and to complete it. Can't wait for our next challenge.
If you want to join in the fun, our next challenge's topic will be Halloween. Create a two page spread the due date to post is Friday the 23, 2008. If you are joining in, post a comment to this blog or Megan's craft blog at http://4evercre8ing.blogspot.com/ saying that you want to accept the challenge:)
Megs did I miss anything?

Martha, are you kidding me?

Nope, Kristin didn't shrink, it's just a huge scrapbook... And HUGE paper!
Tonight, Kristin and I went over to Michael's to use our 50% off coupons. I got a teddy bear cake pan for AJ's birthday and a bunch of stuff from the $ bins...MY FAVE!! Oh AND the best deal that I found was a set of punctuation for the sizzix regular price $79.99 sale price $7.00. SEVEN DOLLARS!?! Can you believe it! Anyways, after hitting up the cake and $ sections we went over to the scrapbook section...Now seriously everyone either LOVES or HATES Martha. I LOVE her! But, I lost some of that love today in the Michael's scrapbooking aisle. These scrapbooks she sells are 18"X18" seriously, who has a shelf that big to store this on? I have a hard enough time storing the 12"X12" books. And the paper is ridiculous! How do you cut it? How do you store the paper? Do they make 18" filing cabinets? How do you fill a paper that size? Do you print all 8"X10" photos to take up tons of space? The whole thing is just crazy! I have to know....Martha, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???
