Yesterday-Today: 6 Random Memories

i love the Big Picture Scrapbooking class: Yesterday and Today. Here's my layout from week 3, in which we had to write down six random childhood memories.

Birthday Layout

Just a 12x12 layout i did in kind of a grid of circles. i punched parts of cards & photos from my birthday, arranged in a grid with a smaller circle "belt" to hold it to the page, then journaled around the orange paper.

It was great to celebrate 36. i usually let my birthday pass without fanfare, but this birthday i felt like celebrating! And it was fun to celebrate with some creative friends.

i've been scrapbooking for my family a lot lately, gearing up for a big project. i really enjoy doing these pages for us, too.

i went skiing this year, but how i got to do just that was pure serendipity. My word for the year is "do", and i made a list of all the things i wanted to do. i added "skiing" to the list because i really did want to go but i don't have skis or much experience. The next day i got an email from some workout buddies that they were arranging a ski day at Breckenridge and buddy passes were available. i could actually go that day and the buddy pass was so affordable! Then i had to figure out ski rental. The next day our paper highlighted The Ski Shop, which rents skis for the whole weekend. Yeah! So it really did all work out. It was so much fun and i met my goal of not requiring surgery at the end of the day. Boy, was i tired! A good tired.Here is a page depicting potty training. We seriously thought this would never happen, but it did and Curious George made it fun & successful. Phew!

My guys love spelunking, but since the little one can't say that, they really like caving. Everywhere. In bedrooms & under the dining room table. The big guy doesn't quite fit under the chair, though.
