Welcome to my Aqua Fitness class! As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I went on a scrapbooking retreat at the first of the month. I have gobs and gobs of base pages I have made in classes at the Creating Keepsakes Conventions I’ve attended over the past years. Now the rush is on to actually put photos on pages. Before I head off to the retreat, I pull out all of my base pages (300 plus) and photos of whatever year I am working on. This time I decided I needed to scrap 2022. I lay out my scrap base pages in groups and then start trying to match photos up to pages and take the whole mess with me to the retreat. Once there, I earnestly try to place the chosen photos on my pages, flipping things from horizontal to vertical or vice versa (UnDu is a lifesaver), trimming photos to match photo mats, adding additional bling or the dozens of other things I try to make everything work out. The above scrap page was one of the easiest. All I had was one photo, and the empty tags will be printed with dates and some brief journaling documenting the photo. Speaking of journaling, every Thursday at the end of the fitness class, the music we exercise to reminded me of the little dancing ballerina that was in the old music boxes. I encouraged the ladies in the class to channel their “inner ballerinas” and we all have a blast every Thursday doing just that!
Keep stampin’ and scrappin’!
