80

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  Today we're going retro:  the pictures on this scrapbook layout are from 11 years ago.

This was when the hubs' family had a big birthday party for his grandma in North Carolina, and hubs' sister and her husband found out that North Carolina barbecue is NOT barbecue (we're from Texas, y'all).

So that title took some time to stamp :p But I liked it anyway.  This layout took me forever to finish...not just because the pictures are old.  I started it when we lived in Alabama and didn't finish it until months after we moved to Virginia.  And then I made the hubs do the journaling :D

Today's color palette:  Blushing Bride (I almost never use that in my scrapbooks!), Sahara Sand, Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy, Cucumber Crush, and Whisper White.  I started this layout right after Cucumber Crush was first released, so this was actually the first thing I worked on with that color.

Have a great week, y'all!

Morning seemed to come really early this Monday...that's what happens when I get hold of a good book and can't put it down.  Anyway, today's scrapbook layout is the one I finished on Friday afternoon and that put me at my goal for January, take a looksie:

See the original photos here and here.  And so continue my habits of using nine photos per layout and either blue or green for the page base.  What can ya do?  I tried it on Crushed Curry and it didn't work for me.  However, I continue to love my color swatch book, it makes it so easy to pick out several colors to use together.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'm off to take a walk with my doglets since it looks like a pretty day outside.
