OK I'm back! This is one of my faves because I had such fun blending and playing with masks, but also because I love the photo of the girls being so close!


This is another fave because I love to use large pics that really show off the characteristics of my Dds! I also love this because I'd never tried the technique before, and loved it!!



And this last one is very special to me...it's not a LO that's meaningful to me especially, as far as the subject matter goes, but it's hugely meaningful to me in the respect that I was inspired by Hummie's example at the start of the Filters Challenge, had a play, and came up with this all by myself, LOL, and I absolutely LOVE this as a scene/piece of art whatever you want to call it!



I do love scrapping memories, but I also like combining that with something more arty shall we say...it may be a bit more faffing, but it caters to my artistic side that needs to be fulfilled or I get tetchy, LOL!!!

Thanks for making me think about myself, LOL!!

This is one of my favorite LO's. I have a very special son that has Prader-Willie Syndrome. He is my gift from God to help me in this life. Although he has a great deal of struggles to deal with he truly inspires me. These pictures were taken this past summer while we were at our favorite family camp. This LO captured my son so well. I loved learning techniques that helped create a page that captured him so well.
I liked reading and looking at everyone's LO for this assignment. Great idea.

question: I have done lesson 32 in the fun extra. I am not sure how to get credit. I spent time looking in many links and downloaded and commented on some of the resources there but I don't understand what else I need to do to get credit. Help?

These are my favorites right now. This is the first time that we've ever had professional pictures done of the kids "just because". It's an age and time captured in time forever. We had so much fun getting them done and the memories will be there forever!

I have so many favourite lo's depending upon my mood at the time lol Looking back through my lo's it's very easy to see how they have improved since I joined Hummies World but I'm not sure I have developed a particular signature style. I dont think anybody would be able to say 'that's one of Barbara's pages' if my name was'nt on it. I do know I like white space and I only like to use a few elements but somehow it doesn't always turn out that way. This lo is probably my most favourite at the moment, it's minimal, it's of my hubbie and me and the title is a part of a little jokey thing between us - I love you - because? - just because? - because of you.



Obviously I could add the many lo's I have done of our dd's but this one is special, not because of the quality of the lo but the photo is precious as I can't normally get them to pose together

Thanks on what the focus of your layouts. My favorite layout is a layout from lesson 2. Photo in letters. Yes it is of my grands. Oh don't go getting emotional on us Ms Hummie. I am unable to share my layout at this time becasue I don't know how to upload them. The ones posted I am using to help me with my journaling. Great video.

Lot of great ideas. I think I make my scrapping to complicated. Completing lessons help me to simplify, complete layouts. Great tut!!!!

Hummie, thank you for that wonderful video. It was lovely to take a peek at your favorites.

Well! This fun extra had me occupied for several days! In fact, when i started it, i KNEW it was gonna take forever, so i skipped it for a bit. But, i also have problems moving on when i do things out of sequence so i'm back so i can move on with my scrapping!

This turned up lots of "favorites for me", but i will share the ones that had the largest impact as i was reviewing. I believe most of the journaling is readable, but the initial title will direct you to the gallery where it lives, where i've typed out the journaling in the LO description.

By this last paragraph you can probably tell that the journaling is the thing for me, mostly. I really believe that every picture tells a story, and i love getting the stories down, specially of my family. They are not really history, although some of them do give histories, but just snapshots in time. I love goiing back and reading...enough chatter, on with the show.

The Hawk: I chose this one not because of journaling or family or story, but just because i loved the photo of the hawk and finally found a kit that made it shine.

Children Listen: My sister was not sure she was going to give me permission to post this one ANYWHERE! When she was telling me this story on the phone, i was hysterical. She wasn't finding it so funny at the time, but she snickers a little herself about it these days... This is not the prettiest LO on the block--far from it--but to me, the story is priceless!

Can You Hear Me Now? This LO was done for a LO class i was taking. We were given a list of sites (the one that gave me this prompt is no longer active) to find journaling prompts, and this prompt said "talk to a dead person", so i talked to my Uncle Bobbie:

Finally, here is Phenomenal Women. I am blessed to be surrounded by them always. These are the consultants who work for me who graduated in 2009, along with other pics of my alma mater. My consultants ARE like family to me...

Thanks so much for looking.

I love scrapping family, specifically my husband and kids. I am very emotionally attached to almost all of my LO's. Here are a couple that mean a lot to me. For me, it isn't the elements on the page, as much as it is the person and the memory.

This is just one of my very favorites...It's very simple, few colors, and the photos are very clear and crisp. And most of all it's my son smiling, my heart still skips a beat whenever I see these photos and his smile, even today. I know what a good, kind boy he is inside and my heart just swells with love for him every time I see him, but especially when i see that smile!

And another of my favorites is this one. It's not just about my son, but the beginning of our family. The family I had waited for so long to have. The family that sometimes I thought would never happen. You were the beginning of the string that wove through our lives and tied us all more closer together.

I will be back to you on this one.. I just went to decide and found I have 1177 layouts to choose from..

0 Thanks, 0 Likes, 0 Dislikes, 0 Credits

That was really difficult... so many great memories to choose from. In the end I narrowed it down to the day my Grandson was born.......



And the day I was married ........



I do not have many photos of my children when they were little to scrap, nor do I have many pictures of family past. All my old photos were lost when we lost our home in a cyclone.

First of all, thank you SO much, Hummie for that *wonderful* heart felt video. Thanks for the tears and the laughter it brought. My favorite layouts are of my family - my husband and my boys and their families. But...then again I also love my nature layouts, too. It's hard to pick a favorite.
A favorite nature one ~

A favorite family one ~

A favorite of me and my man.

Loved the video!! Thanks for sharing your favorites. I don't have enough LO's yet to really pick a favorite. This makes me think about my scrapping goals now. I need to do more of my children & scan some old photo's of family members ;)
However, I do have this one. I Love it because it features my grandson. Other then the birth of my own kids, this is by far one of my most happy days, becoming a grandmother

My favorite layout is usually the one I just finished! I often sit back and clap for myself when I am done. The process and finished piece continues to amaze me.

My favorite photos/layouts are from the photo album my mom had of photos of she and my dad long before I was born. Even before she met him. I was a late in life baby (for the times) and as I scrapped the photos, it was wonderful to get to know them as real people, not just how I knew them as my parents. The layouts have long since been printed into a book, and I have no idea where I put the jpegs, since I have a newer laptop now and left much on the old desktop.

My very favorite layout of those I made in that series, was the one where I journaled "the stories she could have told if I had just wanted to listen". My mom had a very interesting life, particularly before she married my Dad She actually travelled the country putting on local plays for the Wayne P. Sewell Company. She was a contemporary of Minnie Pearl, who got her start with that company. She met my Dad on one of her trips. She kept an amazing series of albums, for that I will be forever grateful. It is what started me down the digiscrapping path.
