Woo hoo! It's time for another fantastic blog hop! :)
First of all, if you didn't come from Steffanie's Blog, then go back to Amanda's Blog and begin the hopping there. If you get lost along the way, just hop on back to Amanda's Blog! :)
Now, let's get started with the fun stuff!
Here's my layout I made for the hop this time. We were challenged to use pictures with LEAVES in them, and I immediately thought of these pictures! They are from 1997 (I was 3 back then!) and my mom had apparently gotten some camera film that was black and white! I loved the softness of these pictures. My mom was nice enough to let me scrapbook the ORIGINAL pictures! Thanks, Mom!

Loved seeing these old pictures of you and your brothers. Cute little Laura Beth wasn't in the picture yet, was she? (insert smiley face) You are one talented scrapper, Heather, and I always enjoy seeing your work.
ReplyDeleteAwesome layout, Heather!! I love how the photos look so vintage-y, although 1997 is not exactly vintage, lol..very nice job!!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of the picture arrangement. The title really draws it all together.
ReplyDeleteThat wound baker's twine is a FABULOUS idea!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Heather! Beautiful LO. i like tone soft feel of it. Did you machine or hand stitch?
ReplyDeleteLove your LO
ReplyDeleteHeather, you did a fantastic job on your LO and of making me feel old all at the same time ;-) Way back in 1997? I was a senior in high school then and it doesn't seem all that long ago! I love that Cosmo Cricket paper you used and your fun title!
ReplyDeleteHeather, this layout shows why you're my teen favorite! I love the softness of the photos and layout. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYou have done amazing. I love this layout and the black and white photos just make it pop. I love using b/w photos in my layouts. You can use a plethora of color and not drowned out your photos. Thanks for sharing...and Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteI love your LO, Heather! How nice that your mom gave you the original pics to scrap, it's a great way to preserve that memory! I like your design too and the title. Great job!
