Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Christmas

As mentioned before, I took alot of photos at Christmas in 2007 - who am I kidding...I take alot of photos EVERY Christmas!   This is actually a 2-page spread - but there were no cuts on the other side, so I didn't take a photo of it.

The title is from Beyond Birthdays (except the 2007, which is probably Plantin)

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Ready for Christmas

Since PJ was more mobile for Christmas this year, I took alot more photos - so I needed pages for them all (actually, I think I took over a hundred photos - so I'm showing great restraint on the amount of pages I actually did that year). 

The title is from Plantin Schoolbook...except for the word Christmas, which is from Christmas Cheer.

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Happy Holidays

Just before Christmas, all the Mom's in my Mom group got together for a pre-Christmas gathering.  I didn't take my camera but the hostess (Carla) setup a tripod and took a photo of us and one each of our kids and sent it to us in our Christmas card - and I was so pleased to have them ... they needed their own page!

The heading is from Beyond Birthdays

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 PJ & his Sunny Funny Face

Here's yet another layout using Cuttin' Up - but a different FONT - woooo - scarey ;).  I sure wish that all the fonts on this cartridge had shadows - I live for shadows!

Cartridge used is Cuttin' Up

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Little Hands and Feet

It is impossible now to get photos of PJ's hands and feet because they never are not moving.  Thankfully there was still occasions in 2007 when he would be still enough for me to snap a photo of his wee cute hands and feet.

Baby hands, feet, fingers and toes are so cute!

The font used is from Cuttin' Up.  Can you tell that I only had a few fonts back when I did these pages...its all Cuttin' Up, Opposites Attract and Plantin!

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Crusing and Moving

I think this was the 1st cartridge I got that had a cursive feel to it.  I did have an impossible time with it prior to the gypsy.  I ended up cutting off some off the ends so that the "Cruising" letters were slightly closer together than it would otherwise be.

The carts used are Plantin Schoolbook (for the &) and Opposites Attract for the other 2 words.  Notice how I lost the dots in the word Cruising...stupid zig-2-way glue...they fell off.

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Boys & their toys

One thing I find is that alot of the font's shadow is very VERY narrow - and sometimes I'd like it to be a hair wider...just so that you can see the shadow a wee bit more....this page is a good example of that.

I also think that all fonts should have shadows - I have a hard time using fonts that don't have a shadow - drives me nuts...they need shadows!

The cartridge used here for this font is Plantin Schoolbook

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Bathroom fun

Keeping in the tradition of only making headings, here's another one. Quite boring....but I was so pleased with welding, I couldn't stop myself.  I also purchased a xyron to shove all these words through....LOVED IT...I think I blasted through the 1st cartridge of stickiness in under a week...other than the cricut/gypsy...the xyron is the best invention!

The cartridge used is Cuttin' Up

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 1st Birthday

I made a 2-part scrapbook for PJ's first year all in blue, brown & yellow paper.  I kept some photos from his 1st birthday to do into a 2007 scrapbook....this is that layout.

The cupcake is from Doodlecharms and I think the heading is from Plantin schoolbook

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Sharp Dressed Man

When I got my cricut and gypsy, I was working on the last few pages of PJ's 2007 album.  It was the start of going crazy with welding titles - love welding.  I got the cricut because I wanted to have lots of fonts for titles and I certainly have used it for titles.  I have to keep forcing myself to do more than titles though.

The cartridge used is Cuttin' up

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Fall Layout contest

Here's a fall layout from photos done in 2007 when PJ was only 1.5 yr old - so his 1st time in the leaves. I am a wee bit behind in my scrapbooking...oh well.

I love these photos and with the addition of cricut-cut leaves and some inking, I think the layout is cute. I did roll the leaves so in person, they look more like leaves then they do in the photo.

Scrapbook Layout - 2007 Family Time

Here's my submission to a contest for Labour Day 2010 - I think this is from 2007
