Getting creative

I've always considered myself fairly creative.  I like to make stuff.  You know, like art projects for adults.  My newest favorite thing is digital scrap booking.  I can't get enough of it.  In fact, I like it SO much that Riley's first year scrapbook already has 46 pages.  FORTY. SIX.  Aaaaaand she's just shy of 5 months.  The page limit of these books is 100 pages.  Oh crap.  I shared some of those pages before, but I went and re-did a few of them because I wasn't totally satisfied with my first attempt.  And I've spent the last few days getting totally caught up, and her 46 page book is now up-to-date.  Here's just a few sample pages... 

And some more recent-ish ones (well, more recent than newborn...)

Obviously I skipped a whole bunch of pages, but you get the idea.  I love how I can include a mix of pictures, milestones, and my own feelings/memories and messages to my baby.  And it's just so easy.  I'm not really into all those pre-made super fluffy scrapbook pages, it's not really my style.  I like it simple and contemporary.  The hard part is choosing what pictures to include (or NOT include, that's the real hard part).  I'm gonna have to slow down a bit though otherwise I'm going to reach my 100 page max when she's only 10 months old!

If I could somehow make money making scrapbooks for people, I would totally do it.  At the moment I'm working on re-doing my own wedding album, because I made my last album through shutterfly just using the standard pages they offer, and it looks alright, but I definitely don't love it.  And I want to LOVE my wedding album.  So that's a work in progress. 

Hope you liked my sample pages!  Let me know if you'd like to pay me ridiculously large amounts of money to make one for you (i joke, I joke... sort of).  HAPPY WEEKEND!!!
