Picnic

2010-05-16T17:32:00.001-07:00

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

2010-05-14T19:09:00.001-07:00

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.

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!

19 Days

2010-01-26T18:45:00.001-08:00

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.

December Day

2010-01-13T09:01:00.000-08:00

This is my second week's entry in DSA's Scrapoff 2010. I used papers/ elements from BZB Designs, Charlize Creations, Correen Silke, Brownie Scraps & Ramona Brown.

Journaling reads: On December 23, two days before Christmas, we had a beautiful, sunny, warm day. We played outside for hours. The next day it snowed, but for those few hours it felt like Spring again.

2010-01-07T21:10:00.000-08:00

My first Project 365 page!!!

I used the template from Julie at GingerScraps and a collab kit from GS called "A Day in the Snow"

Journaling: Brrr! What a week! We got to play with the Newmans over the weekend and went back to work and daycare on Monday. This week brought the coldest temperatures our area has seen since the 1980s. January 1 - 7, 2010

2010-01-06T19:32:00.000-08:00

Project 365

2009-12-29T21:15:00.001-08:00

Okay, folks. I am taking on a scrapping challenge for 2010. I am going to attempt to do a 365 project. That is, I am going to try to take a picture a day for 365 days of 2010. Then, create a page a week to remember what we did during the year. Yikes! Am I crazy? I'm not sure. Maybe. We shall see... anyone know a good forum or somewhere that is hosting a 365 challenge this year?

Dylan's 8 month LO

Beautiful Annabel Leigh

2009-12-22T11:53:00.001-08:00

This page is for a very special little lady.

I made it using Scrappy Cocoa's Denim and Daisy kit and a template by Flutter Butter.

Oh Santa!

2009-12-12T20:35:00.001-08:00

I am highly impressed with myself. We went to go see Santa today, and I already scrapped the photo! Of course, it helps that I had some great stuff to work with!

The journaling says: Scout and Dylan went to see Santa Claus and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Dylan had no problem sitting in the jolly man’s lap. Scout had no problem looking and Santa or saying “Santa” but when it came to sitting in his lap, she quickly changed her mind!

I used "Christmas Spirit" kit by The Latest Scoop, Too. Hey! Didn't realize it was her again. I guess I really like her stuff. :-)

I also used a sketch to base the layout on that was given to me by Angie Bloom at Simply Scrapping
I've been chosen to be a featured artist there this week! How cool is that? As part of the honor, they asked me to create a LO for them based on a sketch, so this is what I came up with.

Song in Your Heart

2009-12-09T18:32:00.000-08:00

This is my first layout on Scrappy Cocoa's CT! I was so happy to get these pictures. The girls had a great time singing and dancing and I actually had a camera handy. :-)

This one uses Scrappy Cocoa's "Boy Meets Girl" kit and her template for the December challenge on GS

Speed Scrap at STS

2009-12-06T17:44:00.000-08:00

Scrappy Cocoa CT!

2009-11-30T17:56:00.000-08:00

I have been sick today and didn't even go to work... had to get a doctor's note since it was the first work day after a holiday. I won't gross you out with the details, but it has not been a fun day. I finally felt up to checking my email tonight and got one from Steph (aka Scrappy Cocoa) that invited me to be a part of her creative team. I am soooo excited!!! Now if I can get to feeling better, I have lots of pictures that are screaming to be scrapped!

Thanksgiving

2009-11-27T18:58:00.000-08:00

Wow! The day after Thanksgiving and I actually have a page done already! I must say thanks and give props to Ginger Scraps who is having a designer call - lots of great kits to download - like this one!

Scout's 10 month page

2009-11-22T19:45:00.000-08:00

That's right... one whole year later! She's nearly 22 months now and here I am scrapping her at 10 months. *sniff* Where has the time gone?

Credits: Paper and elements are from the kit "Give Thanks" which was a collaboration by Honey Designs, Lya Design, and Areana's Kreations. This kit is absolutely fabulous! I know I will use it again.

Alpha is "Delight in Fall" by Gettin Scrappy With Britt

Now, I must get her 11 and 12 month pages done before I can do Dylan's 9 month page. (I am allowed to do her 8 month page since she is 8 months today!)

Dylan 7 months

2009-11-21T18:41:00.000-08:00

Dylan's 7 month layout - one day before she turns 8 months! I'm trying to keep up with her's. I still haven't finished Scout's. I've got her first 9 months done (and she's only 22 months old. Ha!) I will get her 10-12 months done before I do Dylan's 10-12 month layouts. I have said it, so it will be done.

Eating!

2009-11-17T19:01:00.000-08:00

I have two new layouts done about my girls eating. The first is one that I did for a speed scrap on Ginger Scraps

Unfortunately, I can't find the kit that I used to give credits. I was doing the speed scrap and was too tired to document where it came from so I left the window open and went to bed. That night, my computer restarted on it's own. Boo. So, if I used your kit for this, or you know where it came from, please tell me! I want to give proper credit!

ETA: I found the kit! Credits to Heirloom Scraps "A Forgotten Path" kit

The second was done for a game of phone tag on my pregnancy.org scrapbooking forum. If you're here from there, shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone I posted it! lol!

Punkin Patch 09

2009-11-07T20:30:00.000-08:00

2009-09-28T20:21:00.000-07:00

I am loving these number templates - such a fun way to use papers! That's something I have always had trouble with... utilizing all of the cool papers that I have. In fact, for a while I stopped downloading papers and only DLed elements when given the chance. Now I wish I'd kept them all!

Journaling reads: You are at home, loving the swing, and stretching out to look bigger!

One More Shot!

2009-08-09T20:13:00.000-07:00

I made another page with the same kit... I am loving this kit! This was a remake of one that I made for Scout last year. Here's the new one:

Credits: template by Trina Jones; "Little Sighs" kit created by Graham Like the Cracker link

Journaling: You are such a little ham when the camera comes out. You love to make cute faces and cheese it up for your photographer, Daddy!

Here is the original

Oh the Places You'll Go!

2009-08-08T15:32:00.000-07:00

I won this kit from this blog http://grahamlikethecracker.blogspot.com/ I love this kit and there is a lot more of it that I wanted to use, but it didn't work with the layout I was working on. So, I'm sure I'll be using it again soon. In fact, I already have another idea in my head...

credits: "Little Sighs" kit created by Graham Like the Cracker link

Journaling reads: Scout started walking in June, and once she started, there was no stopping her! All summer long, she enjoyed "walk walk walk"ing down the driveway.

Mow!

2009-07-29T20:52:00.000-07:00

We've had dogs since before Scout was born, but she has never really been around cats. When we started seeing snake skins and rodent droppings on our property, we decided that some "barn cats" were just what we needed to help with our pest problems. We brought them home and Scout fell in love with them! I love watching her play with them and think it's just so cute, so I decided to take some pictures and create a page about it.

Journaling reads: Mow rhymes with cow and it’s what Scout calls cats. Every day she goes to the back window, looks outside, and says, “Mow? Mow?” It is her way of calling the cats. She is so sweet with them and as gentle as can be expected from a toddler. She loves to laugh as they tickle her and play, and we love to hear that laugh!

I've been thinking about this for a while...

2009-07-27T11:38:00.000-07:00

I decided to create a blog for my scrapbooking. Over the next few weeks I hope to get all of my digital pages uploaded and go back through all of my downloads to give proper credits. Then, I will post them as I create them! Most of the subjects of my pages are my daughters, Scout and Dylan.

This is the first page I ever made.

I used "Microsoft Picture It" for my first pages, including this one. :-)
