In continuing my "lather, rinse, and repeat" theme from earlier this week, I'm not above replicating my own pages if they work. I've done it a couple of times in the last few days, and I'm not ashamed to admit it!
Here's a good example. Our marching band participates in a parade every June. I recently finished the 2009 parade pages (red/black layout below). (Sorry, I snapped the picture of this page before the journaling was done!)

And when I pulled out the 2008 parade photos last night, sure enough, I had almost the same shots. So why not use the same layout? At this point, I have so much scrapbooking to do before graduation that I'll take the easy route, if possible. :-) These layouts will be in completely separate albums so, believe me, no one around here will notice!
Sure, I had run out of Thickers and some of the chipboard by the time I got to the second layout, but it wasn't worth running around to try to find the perfect embellishments. I used what I had, coerced Daughter into writing down her memories for me, and called it good.

These look great! Looks like a tried and true design for sure!!
Great layouts! I need to be better about re-using ideas. I'm always trying to "reinvent the wheel" as Ali Edwards says. Hehe! :)
And why not, indeed! If it ain't broke, don't fix it:) Even if these were side by side in an album, I'd have no problem with it visually!
Ha! I think it's great they look alike; they match each other!
