SU! Club - March '11

I have a lot of catching up to do with my cards & layouts.  Sadly, February was a really bad month personally and my drive to continue with my Sister Cards suffered as a result.  I do have some that I sent that I didn't post so I do have some catching up to do.  And I need to get back on track.  But in the meantime, here are some pages we did in SU! Club in March.  We had to skip May because of scheduling problems so I'll be back to post July's projects (I can't show them yet since some use new product we can't reveal 'til July 1st).  

The hostess in March requested a 2-page layout so that's what we did.  I coordinated them enough that they could be used as a 2-pager but they can also be used as two 1-pagers (as I did).  Both of these were based on layouts I saw in an SU! Demo publication.  Unfortunately, the first one is not credited in the publication nor on the website (that drives me crazy!).  The 2nd one is based upon a page done by either Sharie Burris, Merianne Marble (I like that name... sounds festive) or neither.  It's very odd the way they credit projects (or actually, how they don't credit projects).  Anyway.... 

This one is of Bridget & me taken on Memorial Day 2010.  Every time we're together & one of us has our camera (yea... as if there would be a time when one of us didn't have our camera), we have our picture taken together.  Without fail.  I'm hoping some day to put them all in one mini-album for her.  This is one of my favorites we've ever taken.

This one is from my niece, Amanda's Bridal Shower in 2009.  I've not done the journaling yet (shocking, I know).  It scanned a little wonky because all of the cardstock blocks are popped & the scanner doesn't like that.

If you look closely at the bottom left photo on the bridal shower page, Amanda's holding one of the gifts I have her.  It's a layout I framed in a shadow box for her & Greg.  That layout is below.  The photo was taken at their engagement party.
