With our break this week, and in between cleaning sessions and loving on the littles, I've been able to get some things done. I have a total of 5 pages done in B.4.B.s album. I'm working on the pages for the next layout - pages 6 and 7.
I really love 2 page spreads. They are just my favorite to work on. I think this is why I love Yin's templates and I found a site that has a ton of 2 page sketches (click on the right sidebar where it says 2 page sketches). I think that it is so much easier for the layout to flow, the colors, etc.
I'm really trying to stick to a color scheme throughout this album, but finding it more challenging than I thought it would be. I thought it would be easier, but it is making things go a bit slower, so I think I'm going to throw caution to the wind and just do whatever! I'm sticking with oranges and blues - because he loves orange so much - but I'm not going to do all the same orange and blue.
Also, I placed my order for my Missouri album pages directly through Scrapbooks to Share on Friday. Even with the holiday, I had them on Tuesday!!! I'm simply thrilled with how they turned out. The colors are vibrant and they were very inexpensive. They are laser printed on cardstock - so they look great and will last a very long time (more than likely longer than a photo), but they are stiff and are more like a traditional scrapbook page.
Big P will be getting up soon, so I better finish up my kitchen org project so that we can work on getting ready for our camping trip. We will leave tomorrow around noon. B.4.B. is so excited. It's been a bit cool here, because of Gustov, but I think we'll still plan to go swimming. High is 87 - now we're getting into my kind of weather. This weekend I won't be scrappin' of course, but I'll be taking tons of pics to scrap. :)

I also LOVE digital scrapping. I just got my first digital scrapbook in the mail this weekend. I uploaded all my pages to Shutterfly.com and dropped them into an 8 by 8 book. I am going to do all of Zoey's albums this way. I am still doing the other kids the traditional way since I already have the supplies. My favorite thing about digi scrapping: no messy cleanup.
Least favorite: in traditional scrapping it's easier to just sling all your photos onto the page and move them around until you see what you want... with digital I feel like it's slower and what if I forget where I had them before...
