LOAD513 Day 31

Today is the last day of the May LOAD challenge.  It has been a lot of fun.  I have gotten a little quicker making pages but my photography of the pages hasn’t gotten any better.  I need to work on that.  I have done 31 layouts for the challenge and about 10 more at a crop.  All told I made between 45-50 pages.  It was great to get so much done and I am motivated to continue working.  I even have a bunch of stuff to take to Iowa with me tomorrow. 

Today’s prompt was billiard room.  Again I wish I had some pictures from back in my life when we played pool or swam in the pool in my parents backyard.  I didn’t feel like digging them out so I went with the next closest thing, kiddo jumping in the tub fully dressed.

LOAD513 Day 30

Today’s prompt was the lead pipe.  I really had no idea what to do with that so I just did my usual and grabbed the next pictures.  Today was kiddo’s first Thanksgiving in Denver.

LOAD513 Day 29

Today’s prompt was Professor Plum.  I would have loved to do a page for my wedding book since it is all purple.  But I did pictures of kiddo chasing geese.  They are pretty cute pictures.

LOAD513 Day 28

Today’s prompt was life’s mystery of where.  The sample page took on where did time go?  I am doing the pages after getting back from our trip so I did a super quick page of kiddo and I wearing our Peanuts Halloween shirts.

LOAD28 The Great Pumpkin

LOAD513 Day 27

Today’s prompt was conflict.  I was still in a fall/Halloween mood so I grabbed the pictures of kiddo carving his first pumpkin with his cousin.

LOAD513 Day 26

I was gone for five days and didn’t do any scrapbooking while I was gone so I caught up when I got back.  Today’s prompt was the movie Psycho.  Again, I probably have plenty of pictures to pick from but I grabbed kiddo’s 15 month pictures.  I am done through September 2011 except for a few days of vacation in July.  I will have those done in the next couple of weeks.

LOAD513 Day 25

Today’s prompt was the motive of self defense.  I have no idea what to do for that one.  And besides I made the page yesterday so I could get it posted today before we left for the weekend.  I did pages about kiddo’s second visit to Center Grove Orchard.

LOAD513 Day 24

Today’s prompt was the hallway.  I would have loved to do some pictures from college when I lived in Halls, but I didn’t feel like digging them out.  Instead I grabbed pictures from kiddo’s first time down a slide by himself and playing in leaves.

LOAD513 Day 23

Today’s prompt was the weapon candlesticks.  I couldn’t think of something to scrap about candles or stamping or anything relevant.  So I pulled out the last pictures for September to work on.  I am now caught up through September 2011 except our trip to Michigan in July.  I am going to work on that at a crop in June. 

LOAD23 Trip to Colorado

LOAD513 Day 22

Today’s prompt was Ms. Scarlet.  Lain had a great story to go with this prompt.  I decided to go with the color and made a page about apples kiddo ate from his grandparents backyard.
