...introducing ALPHABETIZE ME 2012 by the orange clothesline

Hello and happy new week everyone!  I can't believe it's Monday all over again :)

It's almost time to take my youngest to preschool but I wanted to tell you about my newest project.

I am going to do a scrapbook about ME.  Yep, ME.  I'm not sure about you, but I rarely have photos that include me, let alone scrapbook about myself.  SO...  I thought this year it would be fun to start a project, I'm calling it ALPHABETIZE ME 2012.  I started it on the orange clothesline's FB page last night, asking for some help.  I would love to hear your input.  I need to come up with words that best describe ME, one for each letter of the alphabet.  I am going to do an alphabet book about myself, digging through all of the "old, new and anything in between" photos of me :)  What do ya think?  Sounds fun, doesn't it? 

How fun will it be, years from now to look back on it?  Not to mention for my kids someday, even grandkids to look at it?

Of course I'll show you my digital scrapbook pages in progress along the way!  I've already got some fun words to get me started.  But I'd love your help!

Email me at theorangeclothesline@gmail.com with some words that you feel describe me or click on over to my FB page and share there.  I'd love to hear your thoughts :) 

ALPHABETIZE ME 2012!  A scrapbook about me!  FUN!

2-Page Spreads

Do you ever run into this?  You have so many pictures from a sport season and you feel overwhelmed?  You want to add them, but don't want 14 pages of one sport?  I believe this is the best way to go about it - pick all your faves, go ahead!  Just collage them! 

Another cute way to do a 2-page spread, split some pictures right down the middle :) 

Why do I digital scrapbook?

If for no other reason, this is why I digital scrapbook!  I created this page, originally for our FAMILY album, then "imported" it into each of our kids albums and moved some things around and whammo, in a matter of minutes have individual pages in minutes!  Imagine the time this would take to do traditionally??  I LOVE DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING!

4x8 JOY

Hello there from beautiful Iowa!  My hubby and I are here for the week pheasant hunting!  He is doing the hunting, I am taking in the scenery and digital scrapbooking :)  It's been a wonderful week so far.  Our kids are in wonderful hands with my folks back home and it's been very relaxing here.  The sights and sounds are, well, relaxing.  No dishes to do, lunches to pack or beds to make.  No makeup to put on, laundry to wash/fold/put away, or shoes to tie.  I'm just basking in the Iowa sun...  hehehehe - it's very enjoyable.  I hope you are having a good week as well! 

Here are 2 more greeting cards from the orange clothesline!  For the full gallery of cards, check out my Facebook page.  I'm so excited to be offering these this year!  I can't wait to make YOURS!
