One more from this weekend's virtual crop on my pregnancy.org scrapbooking forum:



I used a template from Scrappy Cocoa's "Template Toolbox" and "The Joy" kit by Nibbles Scribbles and Scraps of Ellay.

My girls

I created this page for a challenge about emotion.

I used Scrappy Cocoa's "Sweetest Thing" kit and Graham Like the Cracker's "Little Princess Sighs" kit

Picnic

So much fun! Did I really just scrap something that happened yesterday? Whoa! How did that happen?

All papers and elements came from a collab kit by Nibbles Scribbles and Scraps of Ellay the kit is called "The Joy" and had so many wonderful papers and elements... I have big plans to use it again! I got it free this week on their blogs - not sure how long the links will be up, so go get them if you have the time!

New Pages

Okay, here are the layouts that I've made in the past month or two and haven't posted here yet. I really need to get better at this!




Journaling (in case it's too small to read): Scout and Dylan’s first trip to the zoo was memorable for many reasons. One was a new phrase from Scout. “Oh wow!” came out of her mouth every time she saw a new animal. The giraffes and elephants really impressed her because they were, “So big!” Our safari day was a big hit, and I can wait to take them again!

Credits: Papers, animals, branch, and torch are part of the yet-to-be-released kit called "Too Wild" by Damsel Designs. Sunshine in Graham Like the Cracker's "Orchid Harvest" kit. Alpha in ScrappyCocoa's "Boy Meets Girl" kit.

Butterflies and Leaves: 'Valentines' by Starlight Designs

Journaling:
Starbucks has a fancy name for it, but to me, it’s caffeinated heaven. Forget hot coffee. Here in the jungle, it’s hot enough! What I wouldn’t give for a cold, smooth, chocolaty jolt of energy to help me get through the day. It’s great fun seeing monkeys and beautiful sunsets, but I keep missing those sunrises because I am so tired. When is the helicopter flying over to drop a few down for us to indulge in? Fraps for everyone! I’m buying!

Alpha: "Just For Fun Red" by Marie Stones

19 Days

Journaling: For 19 days Dylan was in NICU and my world was turned upside down. My heart was torn between my newest baby in the hospital and my 14 month old at home. I spent my days at the hospital spending every moment they would let me with Dylan and my nights making sure that Scout had her mommy there to tuck her in at night. I couldn’t have done it without the help, love, and support of my incredible husband, my generous mother, the fantastic NICU nurses, and all of our other family and friends who gave us their time, thoughts, and prayers.
