This is the first scrapbook page I've featured on my blog. I like to scrapbook, but I was a little concerned about how a page so large (12 x 12") would photograph. With a little help from my daughter I think I can say mission accomplished!
I put together a scrapbook page of my son and his patrol brothers commemorating their adventures/misadventures in scouting. When I saw the stamp about being a "horrible reminder" I knew it would be perfect for a layout of Roger. He is always fearless, pushing the boundaries to see how far he can get. He is the first one to race you to the top of the hill and stand nearer to the edge than I'm comfortable with. The top two of these photo's were taken at Devil's Tower (remember Close Encounters??), and the bottom group photo was taken at Ransburg in Indiana.
Since my family spends so much time with scouting, camping is always a popular theme in my scrapbook pages. Serendipity offers a large variety of realistic bird and animal images like this beautiful autumn owl. I like to add natural elements like the twine and the leaves.The word stamps featured in the blog hop today are also available as stickers - they come in sets of 50 and are on clearance for a $1 a roll.

What a fabulous scrap book page, I love that sentiment! Your colouring on the owl is superb, and the layout is amazing, with so many lovely elements. Really gorgeous page.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful layout Jeanne! Love all the photos and and cute tab sentiments!
ReplyDeleteI love this page! You will look back on this for many years and smile. I love how you used the stamps as tabs, that you were able to include some of your gorgeous coloring too. Your son looks like you! Great page, you should do more and also, tell us how you did the photography on it!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout! Love how you made the words on tabs!

ReplyDeleteJeanne, this is great! What an awesome page full of love and detail! Sounds like its perfect for your active family! Love the owl and the kids look great!
ReplyDeleteI love your page and as a veteran den mother I salute your son and the Cub Scouts. It was the owl stamp in the first picture that caught my eye because my DD loves owls. The reveal of the whole page brought everything into focus and I love the placement of the photos and that sentiment is too funny. I need that stamp!
ReplyDeleteAwesome page and a wonderful keepsake for your son.
