A Day at the Zoo

In October we had a 2.5 week fall break. It was great being able to sleep in, not have to worry about homework and have playtime with friends. I will admit that by the end of the break, it was nice to get back on a schedule!

One of our fall break activities was a trip to the Phoenix Zoo with friends. We spent several hours there and still didn't get to everything. It really is a great zoo with many exhibits.

When I uploaded the photos to the computer I realized that somehow Max and his friend weren't in any of the pictures. Strange. Just let it be noted that they were there!

Everything came from the Scrapbook Circle Harvest Festival Kit. We tried something different with this month's kit and did a two-page printable with one of the pages being an alphabet. It is a little more work to cut out the letters, but the great thing is that you can keep printing pages if you run out of letters.

You can also change the size of the printable and I did a blog post about the yesterday on the Scrapbook Circle blog.

Looking Back

Today I was sorting through photos in iphoto getting them ready to print. I decided to look back a year ago to see what I was up to.

Here's a look at a layout from the end of last October. I love that it has 8 photos on the page without feeling cluttered and it stars my kids and their cousins.

Potato Salad, Anyone? Layout

I love to cook and have been know to take a lot of pictures of food, but I don't usually use the photos in layouts.

Here I thought it would be fun to use this photo I took a while ago and include the recipe on the layout. The recipe is written around the photo and cardstock. Thought this was a cool way to preserve a family favorite recipe.This layout is pretty simple because I wanted the focus to stay on the food and the recipe. Sometimes a quick and simple layout is just what I need to get into a good scrapbooking groove.
