More Scrapbook Pages

Here are some other blank pages I just need to add pictures.






I absolutly loved how this set turned out and can't wait to add some pictures of my boys to it. I love the colors and everything about it.

25 Things I love about you

So I have been trying to get caught up on my scrapbooking but considering I have 4 kids who get in everything everytime I pull it out I am not getting very far, very fast but I have been able to get a few pages done without the pictures so here they are. Here are Payton and Ashtons 25 Things I love about you pages I have done. Every year I want to sit down and right down 25 things We all love about each one and then add a picture on the other side of the page. I had Karli even say some things that she loves about her siblings. Fun memories and warm fuzzies when they need it in the future.

Blooming Flowers

This is my Blooming Flowers page or pretty much experminting page and I liked how it turned out. I took Bottle Caps and put my kids pictures in the center. Then I took fower pettles and formed a flower with the bottle caps as the centers. I cut green "stems and leaves" out of green cardstock. Cut blue clouds out of blue cardstock and I had some crochet butterflys and smaller flowers I added for some more 3d effect. Pretty Simple page but I thought it turned out fun.


Teacher Appreciation


For Karli's Teacher for a thankyou for the end of the year we made her this little book.
Supplies:
6 x6 page protectors
Cardstock-We used cream, blue, red, yellow, green
2 binder rings
Ribbion
Glue
I made what you could call "chapters" The first one was why Karli loves Mrs. Hoffman.

Then I had Karli draw pictures of why she likes Mrs. Hoffman. Her first picture is she is a good teacher. The 2nd is because she is nice.









And her last picture in that chapter is because she is fun. The second chapter is What I've learned. Then she wrote what she has learned about. Mainly what they have learned in the last few weeks. Like "we have learned about the zoo" 

She wrote the they learned that animals lay eggs. We learned to count to 100. We have learned our ABCs. We have learned about turtles.                                                                We have Learned about Lions.
Our Next Chapter was about Silly Moments in Class.
She drew different times in class that she thought were funny. Then on the last page we put Thanks by: Karli and she wrote her name. I had her write as much as she could in her own words. Each picture she colored on a 6 x 4 cream paper and then she glued it to a colored piece of cardstock. So it would give it some color and boarder effect.  The "chapter" pages I cut out with my cricut and made a cover page with a 6 x 6 cream piece of cardstock.
For our last page we put a picture of Karli with some diffent embelishments.
I attached each of the page protectors with 2 binder rings and then tied different colors of ribbion on the binder rings.
I love how this project turned out and I hope Mrs. Hoffman Likes it to. I almost want to make another one for Karli to keep for herself so she has her own little memory book. We will see. I think if I make one for her I will put some of her pictures of diffrent things throughout the year in it to. I am going to get a few more things to go with it. Not real sure what yet but I will have to figure it out soon.
