Scrappy Saturday #12

Another Saturday, another scrapbook layout.

This layout is from my fall 2008 semester in college.

The photos are of me and two friends at a night out on the town.

Scrappy Saturday #11

This layout is from the bf's homecoming dance.  I had already graduated from high school and was attending college.  The bf was still in high school as well as my little sis.

We all went to the dance together :)



Scrappy Saturday #10

Today's Scrappy Saturday is featuring another layout from my brother's wedding.

These pictures were taken as we were getting ready for the big day.

In the photos are my sister, my mom, my best friend from college, and myself.

Scrappy Saturday #9

Here's another layout from my brother's wedding. 

I was the MOH, my sister was a bridesmaid, and my best friend from college was also a bridesmaid. 

So, needless to say, it was a fun time!

(Again, ignore the wrinkly paper, I was new at scrapbooking when I created this layout.

I love the design of the page, just not necessarily the quality.)

Scrappy Saturday #8

It's Saturday..which means scrappy time!

This weekend I'm posting my best friends 21st birthday.  Her boyfriend rented a limo and we went from bar to bar.  It was tons of fun and totally made up for my lame 21st. 

(I ran a half marathon on my 21st birthday, so there was no alchol involved, 

just sore legs and lots of water!)

Scrappy Saturday #7

I'm really loving posting all these old scrapbook pages from 2008. 

 It has given me the chance to look back on these old photos.

This layout is from the fall.  My niece Kaylee was just a little baby. 

Fall, Fun, Family

Scrappy Saturday #6

Happy Saturday!  I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

This weekend's scrapbook layouts are of the bf and I putt-putt golfing.

These pictures were taken when we had been dating for about 3 1/2 years. 

That was back when he still took me out on dates :) 

 Now, he's a poor college kid and I'm a poor first- year teacher working on paying off student loans.

(Ignore the wrinkly paper.  Since then, I have matured in my scrapbooking skills.)

This is another page layout from the same putt-putt golf date :)



This is my favorite picture in the layout. :)



Scrappy Saturday #5

Still sharing scrapbook pages from 2008.  I am really behind and have absolutley nothing done for 2010.  Probably once I get through with sharing the rest of 2008 and all of 2009, 2010 will be completed.

This is from my friend, Cabriel's bachelorette party. 

She got married the same day as my brother, so I was unable to attend her wedding. 

Her shower was even the same day as my soon-to-be sister-in-law's. 

Luckily, their bachelorette parties were on different days.

Scrappy Saturday #4

 This Saturday's scrapbook layout is another oldie from 2008.

My brother got married in June of 2008. 

I ended up getting some really cute pictures from the rehearsal dinner. 

 Here they are...

The blonde is my little sister, Haley, and the curly hair girl is my roommate from college, Kerby. 

All three of us were bridesmaids in the wedding.

These are all pictures of myself with each member of my family. 

( My sister and I, my dad and I, my mom and I, and my brother and I.)

The photo of my sister and I is one of my favorites!

Scrappy Saturday #3

It's Scrappy Saturday again. 

 It's hard to believe its February already!

This is another scrapbook page layout from 2008. 

 The boyfriend is younger than I am.

(It's easier to train a puppy!!)

I was in college in 2008, but the bf was still in high school, so I went to prom with him. 

We had lots of fun!

Scrappy Saturday #2

It's Scrappy Saturday!

In 2008, I ran 2 half marathons. 

Today, I'll show you the two layouts I created.

The first one was the Eisenhower Half Marathon in Abilene, Kansas.

It was my very first half marathon.

The other half marathon I ran was in Omaha, Nebraska. 

It was much bigger than the one in Abilene and was an amazing experience. 

 There were tons of people and live music throughout the course. 

My aunt and dad ran with me.



Sticker Notebook

I previously blogged about my new way to organize my stickers. 

If you missed it, you can find it here.

When I blogged about my organizing, I hadn't prettied it up yet. 

And there were also a flaw in my design.

All my stickers were put in plastic sleeves. 

Nothing wrong here-loving it.

I wanted tab dividers that would stick out past the page protector so I mad these out of 12 x 12 paper.

This was not working for me.  I liked that they were big and cute, but they were not functional.

Problem.

 

The paper was bending and it was difficult to flip from tab to tab.

The three-hole-punch holes were starting to get jacked up.



My solution for all these issues was to laminate the tabs.

(I'm not sure why I took a picture of the Spanish directions?!?)

It's just basically clear contact paper. 

 It's not as sturdy as if you were to use a laminating machine,

 but it's much cheaper and super simple.



I used a ton of contact paper, but it was total worth. 

 No more tab problems.



~~~~~~~~~~~~

The other thing I needed to do was to beautify the covers a bit. 

They were way to plain before.

The front covers:

 (book 1)

(book 2)

Both of the sides are the same for the two binders. 

 Simple and labeled.
