Scrapbooking- A Pinterest inspired page- 10 Years! (Anniversary)

I usually get inspiration for scrapbooking from other people's pages, or from a digital template. However, when I used to do "paper" scrapbooking I sometimes copied a whole layout almost identically if I REALLY liked it, which is what happened with this page I found one Pinterest. Here's the Pinterest page:

And here's my scrapbook "scraplift" photo of the page I made. I loved all the buttons, it was so much fun to make!

In honor of our 10th Anniversary. The photos were taken by Malea Lusa Photography (a missionary kid friend of ours) in January 2012. They were part of the same photoshoot that we used for our prayer card also! 

Scrapbooking- Daddy Tickle Fest

There's something so special about wrestling/tickling fun between a Dad and his son. I love any time I hear laughter between Ben and Lucas. It makes my heart happy. 

Journaling: Who gives the best tickle fests ever? Daddy! Who loves it but can’t take it? Lucas! Let the fun begin!

digital goodies used:

I didn't actually make this page. It is another ready-made page. I dropped in my photos, added text and a couple of extras to make it mine. I don't even remember where I got it though! oops!

Scrapbooking- Embke Family Reunion

I actually didn't make this scrapbook page. It was a ready-made page and I just added my photos and journaling. However I did add some extra photos. I always seem to have more photos than spaces provided. Sometimes it's just nice to make a page really quick with pages like this. tada!

June 14-20. 2013
The Embke family reunion was so much fun! We had a great time  playing games, hanging out together, going on a picnic, bowling, and catching up on the last few years since we’ve seen each other. It was neat to have 6 of the 14 cousins together, and to see Mom with her siblings and parents together too, and with Grandpa on Father’s Day!
