Happy Friday once again and Scrap It Friday y’all!

Okay tell the truth!  If you are a scrapbooker you save basically everything — maps of aquariums, zoos, school schedules, etc.  If you have pets and scrapbook them (and I know you do!) you probably save things such as their first collars from when they were a puppy or kitten.  For your kiddos, well I don’t have kids yet but I know my mom saved things my sister and I made when we were in kindergarten.  Grand it, she hasn’t made those albums yet but I have my file folder in my closet for safe keeps either until she’s ready to make my album or I eventually make it myself (though I’m still working on pictures from when I lived in Long Beach, MS but haven’t even touched the pictures when I visited my sister in France in 2010. ?

Anyways, so yes I save a good bit of things for my scrapbooks I plan on using when I get to them.  For the trip to France, I have a cute little suitcase I got from Michael’s Craft Store a few years ago with everything in it.  Of course, even though I am organized with everything, I have moved several times over the years so my things are here, there, and everywhere.  I don’t particularly have my own scrapbook room since I live once again with my parents.  I plan on being out by the end of this year (I hope) and then I should have a place for all my crafts. ?

Make The Connection

Because I am very proud of have graduated from University of Southern Mississippi-Gulf Coast in Marine Science I’ve been working on all the pictures I took while living in Long Beach, Mississippi.  So, on this post I’m sharing another page from my Long Beach, MS album.  This page is very, very simple, as I didn’t feel the need for journaling.

As you can see my “Make The Connection” letter has its own journal which is why I didn’t feel I needed to add anything.  I used a bright yellow 12 X 12 paper as my background with a pretty blue polka-dotted 12 X 3.5.  I then backed the map and set of directions on the right page using that same blue polka-dotted cardstock along with white cardstock backing it.

There you have it!  A great but simple double page with things you save, whether it’s from a school you attended and very proud of, an aquarium, a zoo, or your kiddos projects they have made. Hope you enjoyed!

Thanks for visiting.  Hope to see you back here again.  If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact me and I will try to answer as quickly as possible.
