Swim Layout

I spend A LOT of time waiting to watch Esme swim.  The team has been a wonderful experience for her in so many ways - exercise, skill, friendship, routine, independence, and discipline.  I am so glad she gets to be a part of it and so grateful for her team of awesome coaches. 

I am trying to scrap more this summer and would really like to get back in to going to crops as well.  I love seeing how other people work.

Loving Grid Layouts

I have been working harder to give weight to certain pages in my albums. It can be hard to balance having 100 adorable photos when they are of a not-particularly-significant event in our lives, or when I have similar photos year after year of the same activities. I have been turning more and more to grid-style layouts, where I can get lots of photos on a page.

For this page I wanted to include lots of photos because I am looking back at a time that my daughter and my entire Girl Scout troop was so much littler! Half the layouts I've pinned on Pinterest seem to be grids as well.

Mergers

In an effort to streamline my life, I have decided to merge my blogs. Before my family discovered Facebook I had one for sharing photos with them, I had one for ramblings, one for crafty projects, and one to share about homeschooling. Instead of trying to do an okay job with each, I think it would be easier to do a good job with just one.

Here is one of my new recent layouts -



I am loving grid layouts right now - I love the busy look, and this is a way to fit a lot of photos onto one page. Are you a scrapbooker? If so, are you more streamlined or busy?
