School Pages

I was a little wary of using these rub-ons. As I don't usually use elements like that. But it inspired me to do this layout with some of the questions he asked about the third grade before he started and I really like it!

She is a funny one.  I went back to my roots with this one.  A little ledger grid anyone?

The title was actually a mistake.  I was going to put 2nd Grade, but then I liked the repeat of the number...so I left it.

Catch up

I have been scrapping just not posting...This is for Amy who commented on how she liked my "graphic-magazine style pages."  Me too Amy!

Straight Line

This is my first layout without a picture. It is for the digidare this week. You were suppose to scrap about what you wanted to be as a kid. My parents tell me I always said I would be a lawyer, and I am. TFL!

Fearful

This page had to be done once I got this picture.

Love--I Dare you!

Once upon a time there was a lovely woman named Amanda. She was beautiful, talented, and the whole world rejoiced when she gave her amazing tallents to the digi-kingdom. Then one day she joined more very brave members of the digi-kingdom and started Daring her fellow citizens... and the digi-kingdom was never the same:)

There is a new dare out! Amanda never takes it easy so go see if it...if you DARE!

Rebellious

I actually can't believe I am posting this picture of me. But, I couldn't get this out of my head. So here it is--documenting the one rule of my parents I still break:)

Journaling:
"In my younger years, I was not a rebellious kid. That is probably why I didn’t have many rules either. I always came home on time, I got good grades, I worked to pay for my own expenses. But, there was one rule my parents stuck to
[no two piece swimsuits]
no matter what. What was the first thing I did when I got to college? Yup, I bought my first bikini. Whats worse? I am passing it on to the next generation. And while I think my parents are shaking their heads in shame while they read this...
its just a little rebellion"
