Hello! Is everyone enjoying their summer? It's still really, really, really dry here in northern California, but oh how nice to have warm summer days! It will all go by too fast I'm sure.
Today I wanted to share a scrapbook page I did for the DCWV June Scrapaholic Challenge. I rarely do any one-photo pages as my scrapbooks are more a chronological photo story of my grandkids' lives rather than art projects, but I only have this one photo of Fletcher on his scooter, so it worked out perfectly for the sketch we were required to follow. And, you will notice this is a rather 'plain' page........I rarely go overboard with the embellishments and such on my scrapbook pages, as I have always felt that the photo should be the highlight of the page(s,) not all the pretties attached. Just a personal preference.

What a great idea to have chronological pages of your grandkids for yourself! I'm not good anymore about scrapbooking, but someday I would love to get back to it :)
