Thank you so much for hanging out with me all week and letting me share my creative work and other tidbits about me! It has really been an honor to be here and I am thankful for the opportunity.
Today I wanted to share one last layout, but this one incorporates the journaling techniques I discussed in yesterday’s post.
I took various photos one evening when we were in our backyard playing a mean game of softball. I took some action photos of the girls and of course when you have a pink bat, you must pose!
I wanted to get some different angles and detailed shots so I moved around. Plus, even in backyard softball I still get bored! I ended up taking these shots in the process:
I had several of our backyard softball game photos developed, even the 2 focused on the ball. When I was looking through my photos to scrap I kept coming back to these, however, when I look at them I don’t initially go to the impromptu game, but rather the thought of anticipation kept coming to me. You can see that both girls have their gloves ready and waiting for the ball to come to them.
I literally and figuratively took the anticipation route with this layout. Our family is in a constant state of anticipation because we are military. Always wondering when and where the next move will be, if it will go smoothly, if we will make more great friends, etc. So this is what I journaled about on this layout.
Instead of using tons of space for a journaling block, I just took various journaling and labeling stickers from the Corinne sticker sheet and used that space for my journaling. A few sentences, but exactly what I wanted to get across, which is the goal for me!
For the title, I used the Ivy ink block and ran it across a section of cardstock where I knew the title would go. I sprayed just a bit of white spray ink over top, adhered my title, stitched over it and called it done!
Thank you again for hanging with me this week! It’s been so much fun to host the blog!

I really like the thought that went into this one and the pix showing the girls (and dad) while focused on the ball. I also really liked the Going in Circles post- fabulous page!
I'm such a big fan of the colors from "Going in Circle" pages. I also like the layout itself since it's something different.
Beautiful projects Christa! I love all the journaling tips; now just to use them. LOL I really like the Charleston layout with the circles! Thanks for sharing and all the great inspiration!
My favorite post this week was the recipe for that yummy sounding summer salad with dried cranberries - can't wait to try this out on my family!! And what a sweet photo of those to little ladies on the first day of school!
I love today's layout. The colors and design are perfect!
All the posts were great, but i really loved the summer salad recipe! Thanks for all the tips.
I really appreciated all her journaling hints - that is the hardest part for me!
Love the layout today, and can't wait to try the broccoli chicken salad this weekend!

I really loved this layout, but my fav post was about the journaling. :) ~Jen
I really liked the "going in circles" post. What a fun LO!
I went back to review them all (even the recipe) and still think this is my favorite day! I love the clouds on the layout! Thanks!
I enjoyed the journalling block blog post, as someone who is getting back into scrapbooking this post was practical and useful. I like the idea of looking deeper at the photo and when it was taken etc...and actually recording thoughts other than who is in the photo and what they are doing.
I really like the scrapbook page. The storytelling captured my interest. I must add my brothr was a "lifer" in the Navy. My nephew is a lifer in The Marine Corps.I want to thank you and your family for all the support you have given your hubby. Please tell him thank you for protecting this wonderful country

Christa you did such a great job this week! I love your work. My favorite post was the card one on... Wednesday I think? I liked it because the card rocked but mostly because Christa was willing to step out of her comfort zone and share the card with us!

The chicken salad sounds delicious! I really liked how Christa just stitched right through the chipboard. Looks great!
