Uhmmm... I have only 238 pages posted... I'm thinking I better get a move one!!! I have been ahead every month until we got to August and my energy dragged, we were really busy and I had no extra money for photo printing. Let's see what I can do about this page # lacking business...

Pages 237 & 238
Lunch date with Nana.
I used something called an "Over All" as the decor on these pages. Purchased quite a few years ago, it is the title, sayings, die cuts, etc... all printed on one heavy piece of 6 x 12 glossy carstock. Then, you have to cut it apart in whatever way suits you best. I chose to cut around it all and make it look less like a straight edged, boring strip. Using up some of that old stash of mine!! Love it! Inked the edges of the pages with black also.
The Lady Bug title worked, as Emma had on a Lovebug outfit. :)
Pages 235 & 236
I just LOVE the picture of her with her leg in the air and her diaper showing!!
The left picture is raised with pop dots. The title is a rub on.
My first time scrapbooking an 8 x 10 picture. I struggled with the choice of background paper, as I didn't want it competing with the picture itself. Then, it took forever trying to pull it all together so that the other papers and embellies didn't compete with the rainbow. With Steph's help, I finally got it done. Placed the text over the photo to hide the car in the picture!!
Bought the gem flowers at Target's 1 spot.

Sundays in November 2008:
Used ribbon, felt flowers, black brads, red rhinestones. Haven't added the journaling box in this picture, but I printed it out in dark red ink. The second page with Emma in the red print dress, I can't decide if it needs something else or not... Maybe a flower buy the left pic or something... ???

Pages 231 & 232
These are from 2004 also. My Bridesmaid's Luncheon.
The fall papers are from a Fall paper pack. The leaves are glossy die cuts. The bit of sparkle are rhinestone dots and rhinestone type leaves.
Pages 229 & 230
These are from Hurricane Jeanne in 2004.
We had Hurricane Francis a month before this, and I did quite a few pages about that storm, so I chose to condense it down and only do a 2 page spread. This meant that in order to use my fave pics I had to "block" the page and fill it in with pictures. Doesn't really leave any space to be creative but it shows my pictures which is THE purpose of this craft.
Check out Martin at work the 2nd day after the storm!! Working so hard, right???
I had one photo too many for this set of pages, so I typed my journaling in a 4x 6 size to match the picture and matted black paper in between, leaving about 3/4 of an inch above in order to punch the hole and add ribbon/fibers. I will just slip down bhind the page and if the person looking wants to read it, they pull it out. You can add a paper pocket to the back of the page to hold the journal/photo, which keeps it from ever falling down to far into the page protector, but it also makes it more difficult for the looker to get it back into the page/pocket without damaging any of it.

I love these pics. My santa hat and the panties from her Christmas Day outfit. They say "Santa Baby" on the butt/bum.
I used chipboard letter for the title. Painted them and then added a fine glitter around the edges. Used the Cricut for part of the title, as well. Added some ribbon, a few rhinestones for bling bling and tah dah! all done.
