Flashback Friday 10.0

Such a fun challenge at Flashback Friday! We are to post our first stitched or faux stitched project. I stitched on this card, you have to look hard to see it but it is there! I used Cosmo Cricket's Delovely. I love Cosmo Cricket so much , but I confess I am a huge hoarder of their products. Probably why you don't see so much of it on my blog. (note to self....use it!!!)

Won't you join Flashback Friday's Challenge? There is an awesome prize to win! *wink*

This Close to My Heart Circle Album I made for a workshop I held. We had a fantastic, funny summer that I wanted to scrapbook in a mini album and just loved the chip board pieces that went with this album.

Flashback Friday Challenge!

Then...

Now...

My friend shared this on her blog and boy what a challenge. We were to post one of our first scrapbook pages and then a current page. What can I say..."We have come a long way baby!"

This Flashback Layout was made around 2000....when my boys were way into their teenage years and I was wondering where my sweet boys went! I found their pictures and started creating albums of the days when they still liked me! Great therapy! Thank goodness those years do not last forever!

I am slightly embarrassed by my first layouts, in fact when my son was showing his girlfriend this album my husband said to me "You really need to update this!" What do you think?
