pages for Mom’s album

My Mom scrapped for a couple of years awhile back, but her main interest is quilting. So she gave me her photos and I use them to make pages for her. There’s no pressure – she likes the layouts and doesn’t need them by any certain date. She {and my Dad} just enjoy whatever pages I give them whenever, which keeps scrapping fun for me. I gave up scrapping chronologically many years ago when I read Stacy Julian’s Big Picture Scrapbooking.  I scrap Mom’s pages just like I do my own  - I just choose a photo that I like and go with it.

The lace paper on this page was cut using a friend’s Cricut. I think it makes the page interesting without overpowering it. I seem to have been using one photo on my layouts for quite awhile, but I really liked both of these. Together they tell a more detailed story, I guess.

I had fun making the letters look like they were made from wood – I have a woodgrain stamp that I used on both parts of the title. I also like using items that aren’t made for scrapping – the exclusive tag came off a jacket and the butterfly came from a friend’s antique collection.

Thanks for looking!
