Redecorating

We are gutting and redecorating our living room and bedroom and guess where all the furniture went - my craft room!!!! I can't get to anything!!! Between that and training for the Mountain Goat run on May 3rd there hasn't been much time to scrapbook. There has been time to shop and I have new blank scrapbooks just like Molly's to make for Virginia and Meghann. I also have one for the family's activities this summer - along with a bunch of prima paper to scrapbook our camping adventures. The scrapbooks are all Martha Stewart brand, it was all on clearance at AC Moore so I don't know if it's discontinued - the supplies were nothing exciting, but the scrapbooks are nice because they are 8 1/2 x 11 and linen covered.
I am trying to figure out how to use adobe photoshop to edit my pictures to be half sepia or all sepia with some color. Despite numerous on-line tutorials and purchases of books and magazines I cannot figure it out (YET).
I will be posting pictures of the living room - when we pulled up the carpet we found the original hardwoods that we are going to refinish, I'm pretty sure there are original hardwoods in our bedroom too. We are also putting in new ceilings with recessed lighting, new windows and fresh paint.

Molly's Scrapbook - The Tinkertoy Pages

Two more pages in Molly's scrapbook. The paper is Graphic 45 - Playtimes Past.

Molly's scrapbook is now complete - a page or two might need a little tweaking but all of the pages are basically done - she really likes it. All of the pages in her book were pretty plain - not a lot of embellishments - I wanted to let the pictures speak for themselves. The sepia tone got a little tiring - I'm still using the same settings on Adobe Photoshop but now want to try adjusting the color of the photos freestyle - individually for each picture. I got new photo paper for the printer - not the same - I did not realize there would be so much variety between the different brands and different finishes....

I'm heading out to Stampin and Scrappin Time this morning - looking for new paper. Also, need to stop and get more mats for the Cricut - once the stickiness wears off the paper wiggles all over and it is impossible to cut.

Anyway, I don't know what the next project will be... might switch directions and start working on the yard - flower beds!!!!! Pics to come!!!

Molly's Scrapbook - The Dogs

Molly's Scrapbook

The next two pages are from a scrapbook I'm making for my daughter Molly. The scrapbook is 8 1/2 by 11 - all done in sepia tone (still not sick of it) and will go from her birth to her 11th birthday. These two pages are from our wedding when she was 6. The scrapbook opens top to bottom so the layout is longways rather than side to side - it's a martha stewart scrapbook that was on clearance somewhere - linen covered (which I have stamped to look like a school binder- pics soon)

Meghann's Artwork

Due to technically difficulties, the second pic is sideways - sorry!!!! The first one she did on tin foil in art class. I just included the second one because I like the word finsterwillies.
