So Very Loved

I was able to find some time to scrap this page today. It is long over due as I have been meaning to make scrap art for my desk at work for quite awhile now. So finally today I did it and here are the results - ta da! :) I used a variety of cricut cartridges (Jubilee,Alphalicious, Graphically Speaking and Jasmine) plus cardstock, patterned paper and stickers from CTMH. I think it turned out bright and fun!

Double Digits

Skylar is now double digits!! This page was made with cardstock only - and the use of my Cricut. I love my Cricut!!

Photo Op - August 2009 ~

Yes folks we have a little bit of something for everyone - 'Silly Faces' to feed your humor appetite, 'Dueces' - cool, man, cool and 'Sweet' - for those of you who like 'nice'. :) Enjoy!

Lindy - 14, Skylar - 10, Jayson, 2(very close to 3!)

Crap I've Made

Her blog had my laughing so hard today I had to share:

http://crapivemade.blogspot.com/2008/11/photo-essay.html

I'm following her now! :)

Kids started school

Lindy is a high schooler now! And Skylar will have her last year of elementary this year. Both have special years in 2009-2010. My little guy Jayson will move up to his "preschool" class although he seems awfully little to be in preschool already. My babies are growing up! But I am very much looking forward to autumn - my favorite season! I love wearing sweatshirts, football season and warm colors of fall. Halloween brings the fun of little ghosts and scary little monsters :) And it leads us in to the best time of the year ever - Thanksgiving and Christmas!! Good times and lovely memories!

Teen Years - Take 2

My oldest daughter turned 14 yesterday! And she begins high school on Wednesday. I know it is such a cliche to say that time flies - but truly it does!! My Lindy Lou was born with that red hair and she has the fiery personality to go with it. The older she gets the more and more proud I am of her. She's a great student, terrific big sister and lovely young lady. As we head into our second year of true teenage bliss I sit and wonder what the next acts will be. A script would be nice to follow but life is much more spontaneous than that :) I hope she stays with good friends that love her for her. I hope she remains true to herself and allows her true self to shine - always. She is beautiful inside and out and sometimes I just wonder why I was blessed with such an amazing daughter.

So my idea for her birthday scrap page is to find some sort of film strip over lay to put over some snap shots of her and the title be Teen Years - Take 2. I image black on white with scribbles all over of the things she likes right now...shopping, friends, music etc. More to come on that.

If you were wondering - yes I did make her birthday card :)

Nice Shoes!

So it's that time of year, school is just around the corner and the kids are getting new clothes and well new shoes. My girls and I made a trip to the mall because my oldest wanted a pair of Converse. And I said 'For real? Like actual Converse?' And she was like 'Yea, I want grey ones'. (How cool is that??) My other daughter decided to get a pair too and much grey also (much to Lindy's dismay!). They try on their sizes and we are ready to pay and out of the corner of my eye I see little bitty Converse - how adorable!! I said 'Girls, you think Jayce would like these?' Lindy was excited too - 'Yea, get him some she said'. So I got him a black pair and was so excited to give them to him when we got home. He was excited, too. He loves new shoes. So he ripped open the box and pulled out a shoe - no smile or excitement yet - but wait there is another shoe to check out. I saw him looking at the sides for a Spiderman or a Batman...nope...nothing there. Then on to the soles for some blinking lights...none of that either. 'I don't like them - take them back' he said! Oh man, he doesn't like the coolest shoes ever!! Bummer! But I did manage to get him in them for a photo op before the return. At least I can scrap his little feet in them - so they will live on forever. Some day he will look back and regret not wanting those bad boys! :)

Family Love

What I love the most about this one besides it being another "easy pleasy" page is that it really lets the moment show. One pic full of love - nuff said! ;)

Snapshot Collage

I was inspired by a layout in Creative Keepsakes. I had all these snapshots that never made it to a page. I decided to create a "snapshot collage" because I really wanted to use the photos - just not on 15 different pages ;)

I think it turned out great!

My Sweet Babies

This layout was easy pleasy!

Baby Boy Card

My friend Carrie and I got together last night to scrap and watch 27 Dresses. I made this baby boy card for a friend from work that just had a baby.

Super Cute Display Album!

This was so much fun to make! I made this for my Dad as a X-Mas present.

No More Monkey Business!

I love this layout because it really shows the fun of the moment.
