Oh my goodness! I just visited my blog and there is no post for yesterday the 18th! The clock had struck midnight by the time I had completed this layout, cropped it and uploaded it! And I might add the the information super highway was having a major traffic jam! Needless to say, I forgot to add yesterday's layout to the blog....so I present to you....the left half...the better half? You decide!

Day 19 - LOAD 211
The better half?....I'm not so sure. But it's done and as I have thought about scrapping these photos (evidently twice cuz' I have two sets now), I wanted to keep it super simple and focus on the photos.
My scrapping friends are at a crop today...due to so many things in our busy lives I could not join them. That makes me so sad. So I went shopping and visited for a bit with them. Scrap on my freinds and enjoy your weekend!

Day 17 - LOAD 211
Today's prompt was to use this quote on your page or use it as inspiration for a page. I thought that it fit quite well with the sillyness of Easter last year so I just expanded yesterday's layout into a two pager.
"It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones." Jean Webster
I'm not usually a quote person so I really liked Lain's idea of using it as a source of inspiration rather than physically placing it on the layout:)

Day 16 - LOAD 211
A scraplift was the prompt today. We were to copy a layout by Melanie Louette. So simple and yet it ended up to be a struggle due my perfectionistic needs. I am actually taking a class called Embrace Imperfection that is teaching me to listen to the voice in my head and RUN away from it and follow my heart. (Trouble is I think my heart likes things in a neat, tidy box as well.)

Day 15 - LOAD 211
Today's prompt was to use ribbon in a unique way...
I hadn't been back to the December Daily album for awhile so I thought I could make a quick page using ribbon. Simple. Done.

I am hopeful that J. will be able to build the cabinet pictured in this layout. I need three of these double units!
What paint color would you choose?

Day 13 - LOAD 211
This is the second half of yesterday's page. I could not muster any new creativity today...my DH has decided that we are putting the house on the market. So we spent the day cleaning, organizing, painting, stripping wallpaper, doing laundry, shopping for light fixtures, appliances, sinks, blinds, paint, shower doors, shower surrounds and carpet and packing up a bunch of clutter. Tomorrow we are moving out a bunch of furniture to storage. I think we should be ready to list by June....he's thinking the 1st of March.

Day 11 - LOAD 211
She turned 15 yesterday....it is so hard for me to believe! As a teenager we ride the roller coaster of emotion, that is why I treasure this photo! A happy moment!
Went shopping at Archivers while in Omaha this past week and found some new paper by Doodlebug and had to use it on this layout! I rarely scrap with the color yellow but this color matched the feeling of the photo as well as her shirt...bonus!

Day 10 - LOAD 211
As I said in the flickr description....oh, the extremes that one will go to. I hauled a laptop and camera to Omaha so that I could complete a layout while I was away from home. Yes, Lain, you are right....you CAN create a layout a day with, not a little planning but A LOT of planning and preparing ahead! I was happy with this one and can add to his school album. Yea!

Day 9 - LOAD 211
Super fast page! Literally 20 minutes....leaving for Omaha now! Not the photo I had planned to use but the one I wanted wasn't printed. So 10 of the 20 minutes was spent looking for this photo to go with the papers and ribbon I already had picked!!

Day 8 - LOAD 211
No time again tonight! I thought all day about how I would use buttons on a layout and kept going back to the idea of making a snowman from a couple. I saw a sweater a Christopher and Banks that inspired this idea and have not created it yet. However, I really did not have a snowman layout to create so I went with snowflakes instead. This layout was inspired by katieplus4 in the LOAD 211 group....love her layouts!

Day 7 - LOAD 211
Today's prompt was to find a photo with colors that inspire you...I do love John Deere Green and these two little boys! So the layout grew from that point on! Simple!

Day 6 - LOAD 211
I do not know how today got completely away from me but it did and this simple layout was all I could complete. It goes with yesterday's layout so I am happy with that. Tha is one thing I really like about LOAD....it forces you to truly finish the layout....right down to the last dot on the "i" and cross of the "t"! Looking for to tomorrow!
Day 5 - LOAD 211
Squeeezed this one in at the end of a busy day! Thankfully I had a 'game plan" before we left the house this morning and I had a strategy for scoring before midnight! I made it with only 4 minutes to go in the "game" (day)! Woohoo!

Day 4 - LOAD 211
Sometimes things don't come together as quickly as one would hope! But done is DONE! Not sure how I will squeeze in time for a layout tomorrow but I'm going to try! See you then!

Day 3 - LOAD 211
I had this idea to make Valentine's for the kids this year but forgot about it! Funny how that happens! Anyway, when I read Lain's prompt this morning...I remembered my valentine idea. School was the topic I associated with glue so here it is! Very early "Pebbles" days but I like it!

Day 2 - Inspiration at eBay
When I went to eBay and typed my name in the search bar I found oodles of formal dresses. (Whenever I do something like this the computer always states, "did you mean Nike"? This is the one I chose for my inspiration for the day! Gorgeous, isn't it?I had fun typing in others names:
Melissa was about shoes.
Tanner was about books.
Tara was about technology.
Courtney was about dolls.
Jon was about boats.
Amanda was about Kidrobots.
