So I made myself hold off posting until all the speed scraps from ScrapMatters's birthday celebration were done. It's been a busy last week - I only have one more week before we drive up to school, which will severely cut down on my amount of free time.
I went through another one of those phases where I thought I could finish an album before a coupon expired - rather silly, considering how long I was holding on to it before I realized that I haven't finished my 2010 album (the one in which I decided I could do Project 365 and the LYM Weekly Challenges? Yeah, right - I barely made it through March, although I do theoretically have over 50 pages documenting the rest of the year).
There is a "mate" to this next page, but as it's a VBS layout, I can't share pictures of other people's kids like. It is adorable, though.
For journaling, this page uses the blog entry I made documenting my hell-ish trip home.
Now, for some speed scrap pages. Journaling on this next one:
When we got back from Campania, Pina had a surprise waiting for us on the table. A giant Easter egg! Dora had already told us about the Italian tradition of huge eggs (Fabio had gotten her one several feet high when they were dating), so Margaret Kristin and I decided to buy own own little Easter eggs at Despar. I found a Disney princess one, Margaret had Tom and Jerry, and Kristin had Barbie. My prize was an inflatable princess crown, which was pretty sweet. Later that afternoon the whole Centro gathered for the cracking of the egg. Alison tore into it, and pretty soon we were all divying up huge chunks of rather thick chocolate to take back to our rooms for lunch.
Journaling on the steak page: Journaling: For lunch, we found went down a little side street near the Duomo and found a cute little restaurant called Dante and Beatrice’s. Since Diana had just read the Inferno, we had to go in. She had liked the Roman beef salad I’d had a few days earlier, so she tried to order it here. Unfortunately, her Italian was not up to par so the waiter thought she wanted steak and a salad. Oops! They brought her a steak the size of her head and still on the bone! Once she got over the disappointment, she did enjoy the steak, although she could hardly put a dent in all that meat.
A Roadmap to Scrap page (I needed a "break" from speed scrapping).
And back to the speed scrapping:
That's it for now. I'm sure I'll have many more pages done in the next week. Right now I have 54 Disney pages left and around 60 Italy pages left. We'll see how much gets done before school starts.
Absolutley wonderful pages you´ve created!!
