I'm cleaning up some

 computer files and am sorting through quite a few photos...

I came across some of my scrapbook layouts / pages that were published

[in a magazine] back in the day...

This is the first page I had chosen to be printed in a magazine..

Lots of texture... LARGE photo and school logo...

These others are photos of them in the magazine...

Photo cred: my dad with his 'slide' camera back in the seventies...

LOVE this photo taken my cousin at his home in Arizona [photo-shopped by me.]

Brads down the edge of the page...

Our youngest has the 4-leaf clover gene...

I even put a clover in plastic on the page.

Our sweet niece's birthday...

such a fun day...

And lastly, this is a little scrapbook project

 that was done on a beaded placement... 

paper words... fabric trim...

So thanks for going down memory lane with me...

Bottom line is that in order to be published you had to list every single item that was used on the page... and honestly? It kind of took the fun out of it all...

I like to use things all wonky in whatever way I feel like it at the time.

What about you?
