One of my favorite places to be

I'm working on a layout from our San Diego vacation--our last day when we went to the beach, but I haven't finished it yet, so I thought I'd share one from last Christmas when my sister and her family were out here. I blurred some faces cause I don't have permission to post their pictures (and it's a little late now to get their permission, lol!). This is one of my all-time favorite layouts. The design works so well with the photos. There's a lot of journaling, but I'm just too lazy to write it. Going to the beach in the winter has such a different feel to it. I enjoy it.

I really like the fact that you can use multiple photos; purple paper (recolored) from Iron Orchid Designs; Hand Stamped Alpha by Michelle Coleman at Scrapartist.com; brush that I used to make the vertical design is from MissM "Doodle" brush set; sand is just a photo I took that day; Font: AnotherHand, Jane Austen

I love black and white pictures! I've been studying the scrapbooks bytes tutorials! There is so much to learn! It's almost overwhelming with all the things you can do. Thanks for sharing your pages!

Feb Year In Review Layouts

By
Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...

Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
