scrapbook weekend....

My mom, sister and niece came down last weekend. There was one major goal....
scrapbook Katy's trip
to Germany.
It was her German class in high school that went on this little field trip. Her Mom wanted to help and I like doing scrap booking so all three of us got busy on Saturday.
First Katy went through the pictures to group them up for pages and mark where they were taken.
She was looking up all kinds of things to get the right spelling.







Then the embossing things came out and we started stamping and embossing things on paper until we were tired of that and the pile seemed high enough.


Then the paint came out. Katy told us what her favorite colors were, but both her mother and I tried to sneak in different colors too. We had no real plan.

At last, the pages were laid out and Katy started picking a page for each group of pictures. By Saturday night all the pictures were stuck to a page. She was even able to get the titles and some journaling done.


She needs two more pages to fill the album and her Mom was full of ideas to embellish them some more when they got home. It was very successful. We did 18 pages all together.
I hope she loves it. It was so much fun doing it with her.

Looks like a lot of work but fun too.

When can Lauren come work on her trip? Or, better yet, you come here and we'll sight-see during the day and scrapbook in the evening!

PS - The pages are amazing - what a great time she'll have, first remembering her wonderful trip, then thinking about the fun of putting the book together.
