And now my pages:

This first page I used some photos from Christmas to scrap my son's long-time love of Legos. I used a new sketch and an old story starter for inspiration, plus June's Scrapbook Circle kit Have a Little Fun Today. Love the Crate Paper products from the kit! Here's some details:

I sewed along the stripes on the background paper for some added dimension. Time consuming and not so simple, but I like the result.

And then another history page, this time a history of Star Wars and me:

I used a new story starter and an old sketch for this. I do actually have Star Wars scrapbooking products (of course I do), but I prefer suggesting the theme instead of going all literal. I chose products with stars and some graphic black and white products, a la Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers (that sounds like a band). Here's some details:

I had taken these photos of me and the boys on Star Wars day. My husband had been teaching at a conference on that day, so he wore his Jedi robe and sent me this picture. The Force is strong with us.

Thank you for checking out my pages! I hope you go visit Simple Scrapper to check out the sale and see everything that membership has to offer.
