Seriously, I must be the slowest scrapbooker on the planet. These two pages took me 2 hours, and there is nothing to them! I forced myself to simplify and resisted the urge to stamp on these pages. Yes, finding the photos took a bit of time, but…still! Oh well, they are done, and I completed my challenge for the weekend. That makes me a happy camper!
The first LO is from the current Creative Scrappers sketch. I know…it wasn’t on my list, but I saw the sketch in my blog reader and was inspired. I’m really attracted to circles. The only problem I had with this LO is that my large Coluzzle circle is only 8″, but I went with it since my goal was to simplify.
Again, notice my love of circles! This time I went with sketch #5 over at 52 Sketches…52 Weeks; I’m a little behind! The beauty of being the world’s slowest scrapbooker is that I don’t put pressure on myself to keep up with a LO a week. 😉 That being said, I do want to finish my cruise album this summer, so I do need to pick up the pace. I also need to cut back on the number of pages I create–I’m already at 20 and I haven’t made a dent in my photos…uh…yeah…not a good sign. I’m fairly certain that I don’t want to look through a 50 pound scrapbook!
This LO reminds me that I really need to get a zoom lens for my camera. I also need to learn how to use the manual features of my SLR. I need more time in the day!

But, both layouts are great!
