August - 10th grade album

I always have a hard time with the beginning of the album - not sure why but one I get going the pages get easier to make - it seems it will be no different with this album too.  

When scrapbook stores where on every corner I stocked up on "theme papers" just for this occasion.  I even had custom papers made - since they have been in storage waiting for their day to shine the style of scrapbooking has changed.  

I think her 10th grade album will have a retro feel.

Not a bad start but it is like running, 

once you get warmed up it is all smooth sailing from here.

Here is to beautiful pages to come.

Starting the 10th Grade Album......

Now I do not fell so behind.

I know Kaela is going to be in 12th grade next year but I am starting her 10 grade album so that means that I am not as behind has I was last year. 

 Following the "Jenny" logic.  

No really - Kaela is excited that I am getting started on this album but she knows that the chance of having all of her high school memories scrapped before she walks across the stage is going to be darn near impossible.  As it stands now, I have even stopped working on the "family" albums just so I could try get her school albums done before her 5 year high school reunion. 

Here is my starting point.

I have all of her memorabilia and I think all of the photos sorted by month.  I normally journal before I start scrapping but for some of the layouts I am going to have her journal and I will add the journalling to the layout - she just does not know it yet.  

I will also be double checking myself with Picasa to make sure I am not forgetting to add an event or random photo that she wanted.   

I guess if I am going to get this album done I need to get started.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
