scrapbooking in a vintage book

I have been in a rut with scrapbooking lately, now it might have alot to do with us moving, I have been packing, up our house where we have lived for the past almost 11 years by myself, and I have had offers to help, but it was something I wanted to do...but I am tired, and really in no mood to scrap!! but now that the move is almost over, I have been itching, but still feeling un-inspired, I guess, so I decided to change it up a little, I bought an old book from the local, antique/thrift store, and decided to just scrap on the pages themselves, it has been fun, giving me a lil scrap fix!! so here are a couple pages that I finished the other day.....

here is the front of the book, which I really fell in love with!!

I am itching for some new products!!

I want something new an exciting to scrap with so bored of my stash!! also trying to figure out how to make my own version of the "heidi swapp" chipboard heart, I miss them so much and you just can't get them!! but wanted to catch up with my blog for a quick minute, here is a picture of my beautiful grandaughter who turned one on feb 1st! and she is going to become a big sister already on march 12th to a baby brother who is going to be named Dawson!! can't wait My daughters, love getting pics of all of them together, Tonee', Sommer & Aadynn.
