So Strong (click on layout to enlarge it)
Product used: Club Scrap Solstice kit
Why I chose this layout: it features some of my most recent photos, and I wanted to capture my thoughts before I forgot them.
Favorite bits: the journaling and the pictures. Journaling reads "I hadn't seen Clara swim in a while, and I was taken aback by her performance in this meet. Five races, five personal bests. Already chasing A-times at the 12 year old standards. But what really struck me was her demeanor . . . so strong. Gone was the goofy, nervous novice, replaced by a strong, powerful competitor. 10/31/09"
What I would change: the journaling on the left should be about half an inch higher.
Huntington Beach (click on layout to enlarge it)
Product used: Club Scrap Maritime Collection from 2009 Cruise
Why I chose this layout: because it features a picture of my big brother, Pete. His birthday was Friday.
Favorite bits: the seahorses; the tag (which I made in the very first class I ever took at a LSS); the journaling on the left which I added after a Shimelle prompt on improving your journaling. Original journaling read, "The big cousins play in the waves while M. watches from the shore." I added: "Is this what we looked like? Could that be Dad holding Tricia's hand while Cordie, Petey, Tommy and I play in the waves? I have such strong memories of going to Huntington Beach as a child, but I never thought about it from my parents' point-of-view before."

What great layouts....we see things so differently once we are adults.Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog....and I'll try to increase the font size a bit....hadn't realised how small it was.....it's so useful when people leave helpful comments.
Love those LOs! I love to hear the stories in them as well, so thanks for that. Looking forward to your weekly 'heritage' post - I too need to get back to my heritage project.
love the layouts! I got one of my monthly kits yesterday and I am trying to decide what to do with it. Make the 8x8 book or just some 12x12 pages.....
lovely! i am thrilled to see some double pages too, as few people seem to do these nowadays!
I love the idea of Scrapbook Sunday..thank you for your lovely comment on my own version of it! I love seeing double pagers because I'm not very good at them myself.
Me again....tried to increase font size when I posted today....but Blogger doesn't seem to be playing along.....am going to have to 'investigate ' a bit more!!!

These are great layouts. I love to scrap double l/o too. Not many folks seem to just now.
Did you make the designs for the papers you used on the swimming l/o? I like them and they are unusual. Love the little seahorses on the beach one!
I love those los, beach/swimming los are my favourites.
Nice layout! Way to go getting lots of pics on! :)
Thanks everyone. I am definitely a double page l/o fit lots of pix on the l/o kind of gal. I hadn't realized they were both water-related until you pointed it out! Lizzie, the paper on the first l/o is from Club Scrap, and the only thing I added was the shiny discs. They have terrific paper, and it's all original to them.

Great idea for a feature - i'll definitely be popping back to check it out.
I LOVE your So Strong layout too - gorgeous and a fantastic topic!
Thanks also for your congratulations on my blog!
Ha ha - I've just realised it wasn't you - excuse my silliness!!
Lovely LOs. My darling daughter spent her 15th birthday on Huntington Beach.
Great idea. . . devoting one day to scrapbook pages (even though I voted for photography). My intentions to scrap often go awry. I really like how you created this layout, and how you were able to use a number of photos on the 2 pages.
