Throwback Thursday

WHAT IS THROWBACK THURSDAY? Throwback Thursday is very popular on Instagram, and users often tag their photos with a variety of hashtags like #TBT, #ThrowbackThursday or just simply #Throwback. Adding these hashtags can help get photos more exposure from a wider audience of people who are searching through those tags.

 Well, today's Throwback Thursday consist of my first scrapbook layouts; between 2000-2003. As many of my followers may know, I taught myself to scrapbook by accident while creating decorative folders for my Sunday School students. Hon-ey, I can admit that I have messed up so great photos. I used Elmer's school glue, colored copy paper, and construction paper, glitter pens and my trusted decorative scissors and plastic shape stencils. I was doing the thing.
check out my use of scissors and creative lettering for the names of my students. I did some great fussy cutting; back then it was silhouetting photos.  






The stickers were from LifeWay and the Parent Teacher Store.








Evidently I had a new circle punch because I was working it. LOL I must say I was creative in my photo placement. I may have been more creative back then. I guess the more gadgits you accumulate the less creative your become.











I really enjoyed my students. I purchased snacks, toys, musical instruments, and lots of art supplies for this class. Even though I had children of my own, I loved each of them as if they were my own children.









Check out this layout. It is a hot mess. LOL






Aww, look at my babies praying. I taught them to sing, pray, and to praise God.
I wonder where all of the children are now?











Yep, this has been an awesome Throwback Thursday. Please comment and share your first scrapbook layouts and cards.

Scraps of Color "Christmas in July" Blog Hop: Day 1

By
My Christmas in July 2013 My Pink Journey CHRISTMAS IN JULY: DAY 1 One Sunday night (I guess it was actually early Monday morning) in July, I had a bad case of insomnia and was fooling around on eBay.  I saw that there was a bid on a new Pink Journey Cricut Expression Bundle that was about to end and the price was like 40 bucks. I was like; No way. The Bundle included 3 cartridges; one of which was the Pink Journey Champagne Rose Solution cartridge. So, I bid $56 and won the bid.  That was such a great deal simply because the Pink Journey cartridge sells for about that; at least on eBay.  Below is the layout that I created to commemorate the purchase LAYOUT 1 Solid Cardstock is Recollections Patterned Paper is Stampin Up!

SOC CELEBRATE #8 BLOG HOP: DAY 3

By
WELCOME BACK to the Scraps of Color Celebrate #8 Blog Hop I've Been Accepted!!    I can remember when my daughter and I were reading about colleges and she told me that she only wanted to go to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) .  I was thinking, praise God TSU (Tennessee State University) here she comes. DING-DONG-WRONG! She said that she wanted to go to Alabama A&M in Huntsville. Then the prayer wheel started turning. " Lord, you said that you would supply all of our needs according to your riches" and you said that "What things we desire, when we pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them".        Now, she had some struggles in high school and was at best a B- to C+ student . Even though she would study and work hard; she had trouble. School just did not come easy to her; but her common sense and work ethic was ON POINT. Believe that. Nevertheless, Alexis only applied to one school. She had faith that th

SOC Hot Fun in the Summertime Blog Hop

06/22/2012   Summertime Memories and Family      Aahhh, summertime is here. Summer has soooo many fun memories for me. From my earliest memories of playing in the sprinklers at my Madea's row home to picking beans and tomatoes at my granny and granddaddy's home. What is summer without your family? Family vacations, cookouts, pool parties, and decoration day at the family cemetery are the memories we need to preserve . For me its about family and the memories we are making for the next generation. Since I started scrapbooking seriously in 2003, I've become the keeper of the family photos.         What is your earliest summertime memory? Was it eating watermelon on the porch and spitting seeds? Was it a special summertime fling? Was it the first summer that your baby walked for the first time? I would love to know.  Family Fun in the Park.   Page 1 of 2 {Family cookout for my son before he went to college. This was his "Orange and White" party.} I di
