Hey, all!! Here are some of the pages from Connor's lifebook. Please indulge me here...there are several. I'm hoping it will give some folks some ideas for their books b/c I'm not having any luck attaching these to pm's, hehe. Anyway, here's the 1st one. They're not in any order on here-they're all in a different order in his book. But this 1st one I'm posting is part of a section on Guatemala. I did it long before we travelled and left blank journaling places to fill in once we got back. Don't laugh, I'm still learning. But I love it SO much!! I wish I could work in his book more often, but now I do well to work in it twice a week, whereas before he got home it was more like every other day. Oh, well... :rolleyes:
You are so creative! He will love this book and it will be such a fun thing to look back on over the years. I plan on doing something similar. Thanks for the great ideas!

This is the 2nd page from the above layout (yellow/blue). We were blessed with 3 pics that month, so I really had a field day!
Another 1 of the Guatemala info-
This is 1 I did after we got back. I made 'envelopes' that I could tuck souvenir quetzales currency and coins into. I mounted the coins with the round stick-ums on the back to the 'envelopes', those are the bottom right, smaller envelope. No, didn't mount the currency bills-but just laid them in the envelopes and tucked the flaps over. I also bought a couple of small banners at the airport in GC to use.
Wow, Melanie these are great!! I scrapbook too, maybe we should get together and scrapbook one day soon. I am not that creative so maybe you can help me! LOL
Lord knows I have plenty of pics! :p
Please excuse the nasty flash glare.
This page was fun! Still with the Guatemalan background theme (they have some beautiful paper out there!), I made a 'folder' at the bottom left and tucked our plane tix in there. On the outside of the folder I mounted our boarding passes. On the top left, I used clipart to print a pic of a world & map, kind of a 'where in the world is guatemala' thing. Course, the bottom right is me & Connor on the way home. The planes and other stickers/embellishments are store bought. And as always--lots of journaling here! Detailing our plane ride.

Wonderful pages! I second the thanks for the inspiration. I love what you did with the money. Very creative!
I love your pages. The Guatemalan themed ones are so creative and the yellow/blue pages of him are really sweet! I just went to a scraping party this last weekend, so after that and seeing your pages, I'm geared up. Until a few nights ago I hadn't touched mine in over a year, due to building a house, having babies and such.
Guatemom,
You are very creative. I love your book! Do you mind if I steal some of your ideas?
The pages look awesome!! What a wonderful job. Thanks for sharing. I am working on one for our daughter.
