Time for title pages...

I don't know if all scrapbookers do this, but the group I first learned with did, and it stuck with me! I usually do it at the end of an album, not sure why. I had two albums completed and decided that since we only have ONE WEEK left (insert eye roll and head shake side to side), I decided to buckle down and get those two title pages done today!

The first one took the longest. Those crazy angles reminded me of geometry and about gave me a headache. I made the mistake of putting the paper upside-down, and of course, the angle came out exactly backwards! The "e" is for Elliott. Tobin said to use a capital, but it wouldn't fit. Oh well. I really like the thingy in the middle that I made using cardstock and DMC floss. It took me a bit to figure out how the wrap the floss so that it looked like the spirograph toy I played with when I was little!

This one went much more quickly, but Tobin didn't catch that it is representing all four seasons of pictures in that album. I had hoped it was obvious. I should have used a snowflake in the winter square, but I was honestly using up old stickers that I have been keeping around for some reason. Some of those stickers have moved houses with me 3 times and have been around for 10 years! I'm thinking of placing the year, vertically, along the left side of the window frame thing. The problem is that there are several years represented, so I haven't decided how to handle that quite yet...maybe smaller white rub-ons.

Well, our weekend went very well overall. We enjoyed the Springfield Cardinals game on Friday night, even though they lost and the heat was just about unbearable!! The fireworks were outstanding and my favorite part, for sure! Saturday was a fun day! I spent the morning scrapbooking and then I went shopping with Sonja. That evening, we had dinner at the Elliott's where Brenda made a yummy spread of food and Hunter celebrated his 5th birthday! Tobin grilled out for us tonight to complete a very nice weekend!
