New LOAD and weekend scrapping

I made my new LOAD. Totally inspired by this show.

I wanted to capture the latest catchphrase in the family.

Last weekend, before LOAD started, I did some layouts at a crop my church held. The first one is the replacement present I made for my FIL's birthday:

I used the ella sketch for this.

The next layouts are the start of my vacation album last year. I use the same design for every vacation album I make. Only the products and photos change. It makes it a lot easier to create.

Someday I will make a photo collage (now that I know how to do it, thanks to Jessica Sprague and Cathy Zielske) rather than printing and trimming photos. However, I LOVE getting a pile of fresh photos newly printed in the mail. Not much better than that!
