Scrappy Sunday

Once upon a time, I was an avid scrapbooker.  I was lucky enough to even teach a few classes in Amsterdam.


Then life happened.


I am attempting to get back into it and this will be my first installment of "Scrappy Sunday."  Every Sunday (hopefully), I intend on sharing what I've been able to craft throughout the week.  I'm pleased to say that I actually have something to share.


First is a layout I did a couple of weeks ago using  an incredible kit I purchased from Websters Pages.  It was actually an amazing Groupon deal which had over a $100 worth of product for $25 I believe.


Kinderdijk, The Netherlands
These photos were taken during a trip to the windmills near the village of Kinderdijk.  We had just finished up our vacation in Amsterdam, in which we visited the Keukenhof.  I knew that Holland is famous for their windmills and this is probably one of the best places to see a large group of them!  My husband thought I was crazy for wanting to make a pit stop on our way to Belgium just to see windmills, but I didn't care.  I got some amazing photos that I will have to do a blog post about later.


Thank You Cards for a friend
A couple of weeks ago a friend asked if I could make her about 15 thank you cards.  Again, I dug out the Websters Pages kit and put these gorgeous postcards to work.


Just Like Mommy
Since I am trying to get back into scrapbooking, I've been visiting challenge blogs when I can to gain some inspiration and get a jump start in to things.  This layout was made for The Studio July challenge.


A Bribe for a Smile
Finally I completed a layout that I had intended to submit to the Scrapbook Trends December magazine call.  They were requesting a layout utilizing non-traditional Christmas colors.  I did not complete this before the due date.  Ah well.  I used Sassafras Lass "Nerdy Bird" for this layout.  I'm trying to go through my old stash before I start buying things again, so you probably won't see some of the newer stuff here.  :)


That is until I cave.


Which might be soon.
