Its not all fun and games

So the fun if digital pages has a down side. I spent a few hours this afternoon putting my digital pages together. Type A again, can't cope so well with only being able to print A4 and it being slightly too small for the 8.5 x 11 sleeves. So I feel the need to mount my pages. Today I printed out the last few I have made and got them all sorted out and ready to put into the albums.

This is almost the end. I have packed away my papers and the printing is done. It is satisfying getting them all done and into the albums, but the fun part is done the page is already mostly together. Sounds like I'm whining. I would have much prefered to be making some new pages. Perhaps I am not proficient at this process.

Almost all finished. I do love a pile of completed pages.

I also printed out these sneak peeks, so I have them ready to scrap. I think these will go on pages in my album, talking about the little details for the parties that I really enjoyed doing.

Here are Katie's party pages printed out, I had to mount them on cardstock so they were the correct size. I know. The printer also doesn't like to help me so it either chops some off or makes it smaller on the page so it ends up even smaller than close to 8.5 x 11. I am happy with how it turned out. Sorry about the photos. It rained here this afternoon, so you have reflection from my lights, and a very dark room. It's the best i could get.

Here's the journalling for the page. As I mentioned before I used Ali Edwards' Week in the life templates. Well I also used her idea of a long journaller to get the story down. If you haven't worked yet I have a lot to say.

The other side.

 I also did these pages the other day, catpuring the presents the kids recieved and who from. I think it's important to remember who gave you what and be greatful for those things. I have also found my kids really like looking at these pictures and picking out their favourite things even if they are from years before.

So I printed these and mounted them and put them in the album too. I also like to date my pages with a pencil on the back just so I know. I did this too, filed them all away, in rough order. Sometimes they get a little jumbled if there is a hole to be filled. I also had a flick through the pages I have done for this year. That was fun, there's a lof of favourites. And Kate had more pages than Noah. Not sure why that is. Maybe because she is at home with me more?
It's a good weekend for scrapping here.
