Hold Tight

Glad and sad that this is DAY29. Glad that I have so many layouts added to my album and sad that I won't be seeing the daily inspiration. I've loved looking at all of the lovely stories in this LOAD212 group. Until next time...

I can't believe it day 28! WOW! I love that I have all these layouts in an album. Love, love, love it. I didn't take the time to do the prompt today but scrapped these cute Disney photos instead. Thanks for looking!

I was glad to see the prompt because I do have some pet photos but I hardly ever scrap them even though they are so cute. I'm happy this page is in the books.

I decided to tell the story of a quirky collection I had as a child and teenager of collecting key rings. I discovered a bunch of photos to that I can scrap another time from my early high school years. Glad I went searching for these key rings.

Losing time. With kids it seems in a blink they grow up so fast. I used today's prompt to scrapbook the wistfulness I feel as time passes oh so quickly.

I like by the numbers layouts and enjoy thinking about which numbers to include. Another great prompt, Thanks Lain!

A modern day road trip, via air to Seattle to see a ballet. I have so many photos. I made a mini book but I still wanted some large pages for the album too. Great prompt!

I'm glad to get this layout done. I've been wanting to scrapbook these cute photos for awhile, I was just waiting for the right prompt. The page layout is from Shimelle Laine's 4x6 photo love class for August and the supplies are from the February Studio Calico kits. It is one 12x12 page with two 8.5 x 12 pages. It was fun to put this sweet and girly layout together.

So glad I put this page together today, because I sure didn't feel like scrapbooking. I love photos of Garden of the Gods and count myself lucky to see it every day. I can't believe there are only a few days left in this LOAD, eek!

I love it when the girls get together, they have so much fun being silly! These are some of my daughter's oldest friends.

I didn't address the prompt today. I used what was close at hand because I was short on time. I had pulled out these photos as a possibility for yesterday's page, so I added a bit of everything I used yesterday and came up with this page.

When I grow up...

I didn't think I'd join the Air Force, much less end up at the top of a mountain in survival school. But I count that decision among the best I've ever made. I'd do it all over again.

Teachers in my Neighborhood

I focused on some very important people in my neighborhood, Teachers. I wanted to capture their importance in my kids lives in hopes that they remember the influence their teachers had on them.

An Icon from the Past

A quick ode to my love of the mix tape. It was fun to find music and put it together to play in our cars and give to our friends. A blast from the past.

Music Love

houghtonhouse posted a photo:

I've had an enduring love of music throughout my life. From the Donny Osmond and Gale Garnett albums of my early childhood to the modern sounds of The Airborne Toxic Event, I love it. The page design and paper is copied from "My Extraordinary Life" album as taught by Cathy Zielske circa 2006. I still love this great clean and simple design.

Adding to the baby pages

I didn't address the prompt but had these cute photos on my desk, so I scrapped them. I don't have many baby pages done for my daughter (now 13) so it is fun to add these photos to my books.
