All I Want for Christmas

Here's a scrapbook layout I finished yesterday during Kevin's nap time. I found a collection of photos of Daniel and I reading to the girls at all different ages. I'm trying to use up several years worth of monthly kits from the Storytellers Scrapbooking Club that I was a member of for so long. I love their kits and only cancelled my membership because it was $35 a month and we were finding ways to cut expenses.

For Christmas this year I've asked Daniel for 3 things. The first thing is absolutely free. I just want him to take over "kid duty" for one day and let me have the basement to myself to work on my scrapbooks. It's like a free vacation without going anywhere. The other two things I'm longing for are:
1. Some sort of exercise equipment, preferably a stationary bike
2. Contribution towards a new (used) trombone with a trigger. I've been looking on Craig's List and they do occasionally list a good one in the $500 price range. Daniel says maybe we can save up for one by Valentine's Day. I'm not picky (much). I just prefer one with a trigger, open wrap, and a tapered bell.

Would you do a post on your scrapbooking stuff? I'm just geting back into it after a LONG absence and everything is different!
Do you use a certain brand of supplies? Do you have a die cut machine? Where do you get your inspiration? AND what type of camera do you have?

I love your page.
Just curious on the middle border strip is that a sticker or did you weave real ribbons together? I can't quite tell in the picture...
That is a great idea though on another use for the ribbon and fibers!!

It is hard to tell, isn't it? That's why I love these kits. There is no ribbon or fiber on this layout. It's all just punch outs that they print and sell from storytellersclub.com! Their designs are so good!
