Emily's first time scrapping!

Monday, September 29, 2008

Emily has been wanting to go scrapping with me and my friends for a really long time now. You have to be 12 years old to go to Archivers (where we scrap). So for Emily's 12th birthday we took her scrapping! It was so much fun and she made TWELVE pages! I only made three...NEVER EVER spend 3 hours cutting out shapes to put together a dragon...EVER.

Here are some pictures from our fun girls night out!

Emily Mae TWELVE YEARS OLD!!

Emily with my sister Corey and my Mom waiting in line for food.


Emily with all 12 pages she created that night. She scrapped her pictures for camp this summer.


These are the two very "simple" pages that I worked on MOST of the night. What took so long was that I cute out several tiny pieces of that dragon on the left. It was like a nightmarish puzzle I had to put together. I made these pages to be like a comic book, I even called Frankie to have him tell me what he would say if he were fighting a dragon. So these are his actual words. I'm proud of these pages. If you know me you know that this is much more simple than the pages I usually do but I LOVE them. =) You need to read from left to right, btw.

This is the last page I did that night but lost my energy so this too is a pretty simple page for me. It turned out OK though. =)


Me and my girl...Stephanie was there too but I forgot to get her picture!!! =(

Isn't having a daughter this age SO FUN?!! I just recently told Tony, "Hey- I grew my own friend!" Because Celina is quickly growing into my favorite gal to talk to about nearly everything. God is good to us!

Emily's hat is the cutest thing! She really looks good in it.

She did an awesome job! I don't know how to scrap very well, but I'm learning how to do some cards right now. It's fun.

I totally love the dragon pages.
