Studio 52: Week 12–Just the Texts, Ma’am

Our Topic: Not feeling the pictures this week, so we decided to stick with the words. We had some fun going through some of the texting we had done and arranging the conversations in a layout. Sarah has some of the letters her grandparents wrote and they are super cool in their own way, but…

Studio 52: Week 13–Reading is Believing

Our Topic: Recently we got to talking about the books that we have loved (and not) over the years. The good news is that we have gotten to read: The Disappearing Spoon, Interview with a Vampire, Macbeth and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The bad news is we had to read: Head First: Algebra…

Studio 52: Week 11–Oh, the Places We’ll Go!

Studio52 Week 11

Our Topic: We got to thinking here at Finders Keepers (always a dangerous proposition) and realized that, although we generally consider ourselves homebodies (we like to be coooozy….), we also spend a good amount of time exploring new places with our children. (Aren’t children great for getting us outside of our comfort zones?) So we…

Studio 52: Week 8 – 99% Inspiration

Our Topic: This week we gave some thought to the things that inspire us. Like last week’s music post, the hardest part about this was narrowing it down. Our initial ideas centered on the people in our lives: family, friends and co-workers. But we know there will be tons of opportunities in our 52 weeks…

Studio 52: Week 6 – Then & Now

Our Topic: This week we had fun with a “then and now” spread, featuring Rachel. The hardest part of this kind of scrapbook page is that, back when we were young, in fact, until a relatively recent time, pictures weren’t stored digitally. So this involves digging around in some boxes to find the “then” pictures…
