Amanda made a fun boy page with Glamour Templates.

Donna doubled up a Glamour Framed Template to scrap museum photos.

Ophie made this fun page using Glamour Templates. I love those circles and gold elements.

And Karen made this very fun page using Glamour Framed Templates. I had to read the journaling to really understand this page!

Week 34: Learning, Fun, Volleyball and More!

Week 34: It was full of learning, fun, volleyball, projects. I'm not sure that I did it justice on my page, but I did my best.

The left side were photos all taken with my camera, and the right was taken with my DSLR. Notice the difference? I know some people can take amazing pictures with their phones, and I just don't seem to be one of them. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Do you all have any tips for taking phone photos? I have a droid.

Either way it was a fun week. We are getting into volleyball season and are back to full days of school. Next month we'll add in piano lessons and co-op!

I also scrapped my August calendar topper this past weekend. I even managed to include a picture of each kid. #gome I love the primary colors with the clean, crisp photos.

This week was full of activity. Lydia got a new bike for her birthday so we did a lot of bike riding. My oldest went to first day at her new co-op and is officially in high school! Where did the time go? We sewed, did some fun art projects and of course school was a part of all of it. Then we had cousins over to spend the night before they get back into their normal school routine. Then we had even more cousins over the next night. There was a lot of fun going on in our house all week.

I kept this week's page super simple. 1. Time. I didn't have a lot of time this weekend to scrap so I just put this page together really quickly. 2. I find that I really do like simple, especially for these weekly pages.

I was also reminded about why I scrapbook. My kids have been looking through our albums all week. They love it. They love reading their stories. They love seeing pictures of our old house, of old friends, of events they forgot about. They love when I tell them about a picture or event. It really brings it all together for them. They get to be reminded of how their story is unfolding.
