Scrapmatters - Saturday Special #5

I finally finished my "short" Guadalajara album to take back to the states with me next week (I'll post some more of those pages soon!). It feels weird not to be trying to scrap every spare moment in an effort to get something together really fast. So I decided to participate in a challenge this week. We finished school on Tuesday, so I've had a little more time on my hands and was able to work on this for quite awhile. Hope you like it!

help!

album covers are the hardest part for me. anyone got any ideas for the book i mentioned in the last post? it'll probably be a fairly short book (30 pages or less) for the purpose of giving people a glimpse of my life and the city i live in. i have no idea what to title it or what i should have on the cover. i'm open to any and all ideas!

scrappin' away!

i've been hard at work this past week (longer than that, but i've been spending as much time as possible these past few days) on my latest project. i'm putting together a small (-ish) book that will hopefully give people a small glimpse of what my life here in mexico really looks like. there are pages for each of the areas we work in, a few shots of my house and neighborhood and various other sites around the city. we've got 2 teams coming in this weekend and i'll only have a week after they leave before i need to get the book ordered. i think i'm actually going to finish though! woohoo! here are a few of the pages i've got so far:
