Hello! I'm so happy to be sharing a few scrapbook pages again! I've been working on my youngest DD's albums, but haven't had time to post. These pages were each a bit bittersweet to make. The first one made me a little sad realizing that even though we didn't know at the time, it was her last high school spring concert and there won't be one this year when she would be getting recognized as a senior. The second is a birthday page which always reminds me my babies aren't babies anymore, and the last one has photos of the last Easter we would celebrate with Dad. Great memories, but still make me a little melancholy.
Once again, the pages are quite basic which tends to be my style. I love pretty, foofy pages with lots of details, but most days I'm just as happy letting my photos be front and center, and focus more on telling the story. I'm still on that mission to work through my older stash of paper, stickers, and embellishments, and it felt good to put lots of goodies to good use on these pages.
I've had those metal flowers for quite some time, and
they seemed to work well with this page. The papers
were from a music theme kit I won at a crop last year.
Not sure where I got the paper, possibly purchased-maybe a freebie...
I rubbed a little white craft ink on the letter stickers to tone them
down to match my page. I also worked in some old mats and epoxy stickers.
I think everything but the photos are old on this one! I
worked in a hidden tag behind the bottom left photo. Been
doing that a lot lately to maximize room for photos!
I'll be back tomorrow with a fun card and hopefully later this week will bring more cards and pages! Until then, thanks so much for visiting and have a wonderful day!

Good for you, completing three more pages! The metal flowers are a fun touch to the grungy music paper, the bright flower paper is perfect for the birthday girl (cake!) page and I love the pretty dimensional Easter egg embellishments on the Easter page.
