My beginning in Paper Crafting started with Scrapbooking. My pages didn't look like this either. In my 11 years of paper crafting - I have completed 45 Scrapbook Albums. I used to scrapbook ALL of the time - but now I have the addiction of Rubber Stamping too.
My sweet husband lets me leave the family for 4-5 days to go to Iowa every March and October/November to go scrapbooking. It is a wonderful time of fellowship, fun and laughter. I save a lot of stories and a large group of us go and laugh until our faces hurt! I have around 42 more days before I go...I will be bringing my Lap top though in case there is a Release Party with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps!!! :)
This is a double page lay out and I am sad to say the baby in those pictures is now 7 years old. I am dreadfully behind in my scrapbooking! The little boy, my son is 8 now and the older girl is now 17 yo. ***SIGH***
These are retired papers from Stampin' Up! I painted the chipboard by mixing my own MM paints to get this color - then sanded them a bit to get more of a distressed look.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!

Well done I love the colors!
Awesome layouts Chris!! I haven't even finished one book so I feel your pain. :) That retreat sounds like a blast.
These are great!!!
Fabulous as always! I have actually brought ALL my scrapping stuff upstairs to the dining room and plan on taking over the room until we host Thanksgiving. I have to separate it from my beading area because given the choice, the beads usually win! LOL! I need to go on the retreat. I got somuch done the time I went a few years ago. Thanks for the inspiration. Maybe I can trade you jewelry to do my books! ;-)
Tag you are it see my blog for further details!
I love your layouts! That was one of my favorite DPs. Don't worry, I have a friend who hasn't finished her 9 yr olds or started her 2 yr old's scrapbook. If you caught up, what would you have to scrapbook?
Those are GREAT pages! Way to go!
The stamps look good, they flow well with the rest of the design- but than again what would you expect from all those years of scrapbooking.
Love your layouts!
