An update...

I've been busy neglecting many areas of my life, but I've gotten some scrapping done which has been fun. Here are some pics of our life lately - along with some of my favorite layouts.

Ben ran for Student Council & I think his posters & flyers looked pretty good. He didn't win, but generally half of the class runs & only 2 of the 15 are voted in. He handled the loss VERY well, really better than me.

We had a Primary Olympics for a Primary Activity. Here's Ben carrying the flag out to start the parade around the church before we started. Fun was had by all. This Sunday is our Sacrament Mtg program. I am accompanying the primary on the last song with my flute. I've been practicing like a crazy person... so afraid to really blow it.

Here's John back from his first backpacking trip. I forgot to take my camera to the church to take a picture of all the boys before they left. It was a short trip, but he had lots of fun, at least he smelled like he had fun.

I messed up on the date of this one - it's really 1994. But I've corrected the 'real' copy :) My goal for this layout was learning how to 'ink' the edges of paper. I think I 'inked' these papers a minimum of 6 times with different methods. Ah... love the learning curve. But that also shows the beauty of digi scrapping. Don't like it - just use that magic undo button.

I decided to apply to be on a Creative Team for an online digi scrapping store. I had a specific kit to make layouts from & this one of Andrew & the pumpkin was one. I 'stole' the pics off of Stacey's blog. Thanks Stacey - I've gotten lots of positive comments about it.

Here's my second layout from the same kit. I stole these pics & the journaling off of Jen's blog. Apparently no one's pictures are safe. Nahhh... you can let me know if you don't want me to use any of your oh so cute kiddos.

This is my current favorite layout. It was for a 'typography' challenge. This was a lot of fun & Ben really liked how it turned out.
