I have been working on my open house displays.  Tonight I lifted a layout from the 5 Ways to Share Picture My Life.  This layout is similar to the one displayed.  I used Chantilly PML and Cotton Candy card stock.  These pictures are of my daughter who had her tonsils out.  Once I had the layout I decided the pink 1.5 x 4" strips of Hollyhock resembled band-aids.  So I fixed them so they really looked like band-aids.  I thought  it was definitely appropriate for the occasion.

It's been quite a challenge for marker storage to fit our new Shin Han Touch Markers.  This is what I came up with and it's looks great with my other pieces. I also have room for embellishments and punches.


I have been getting organized with my scrapbook room.  I purchased this wall unit from a shabby sheik business here in Sheridan.  https://www.facebook.com  is the name.  When I saw it I new I needed it and it is absolutely perfect for my little scrapbooking corner. 
 This fit perfect with the rest of my already cubes and storage areas.
 Next my 10.00 desk I found online from Sheridan Up-cycle.  It finishes off the the corner quite nicely.

I have been a tad bit inactive as far as my blog.  I can see it's been almost a year.  Hope you enjoy the new Picture My Life (PML) Scrapbooking program by Close to My Heart. 
These layouts were designed using photos from a previous album that lacked pizazz.  I reconstructed this album using the Surfs Up PML kit.
This is the first page which all I did was add a photo , some Cork Letters and a Surfs up embellishment. 

This is page 2, 3 the page 2 is the back of page one obviously so I just added a few photos and my CD, along with my plane ticket stub.

On these 2 pages, I cut one of the 4 x 6 phots in have (sunset in the middle  and ocen photo on the 2nd page because I had more horizontal photos then vertical ones.  You will see this thought out the rest of they layouts. Also noted in the previous layouts the one of the air plane.  This is so versatile! Make it anything you want.
Visit to the Dole pineapple plantation!  A must if you go to Oahu.  The best pineapple ice cream ever!!





Of course we had a few LARGE photos that had to be worked in .  I used a layout from the Surfs Up paper packet and eased it in to match the PML layouts.  Notice the 2nd page. 




This first page of these 2 layouts is the back of the one with the shop on it.  It is also just a plain sheet of Surfs Up and modified to look like the rest of the PML layouts. 





Love these 2 layouts the card on the first page has anchors which match this theme perfectly. 


I used mostly horizontal layouts as I had most of these types of photos. 






Last pages of my album.  Also my favorite.  See how I sliced a panoramic photo into 3 pieces!  Also added a sticker I had in the original album.  Now I have to journal, which is not my favorite thing, but I want to take time and try and remember all we did on our vacation. 
Hope you enjoy this!
