Back 2 school

Lots of photos

 I will admit I am in love with Kerri Bradfords photo templates and storyboards. I can get a lot of photos on a page with complete ease! They make scrappin a snap and I love the look of the many photo layouts.

Summer Layouts

Yestereday we scrapped all day long. We had our big scrap day where we exchange kits and just get a lot done. I have a ton of new fun pages to share. Since I don't have pictures yet though, I thought I'd share some we did in the summer. These are Katie's pages and I loved them both.

Yesterday we made pages and christmas tags and it was wonderfully fun! Thanks all you sweet ladies! It was a blast as usual.

School

Ugh- I HATE back to school time. I wish my kids could stay home all day every day with me. But, they can't. I know, I know. Here's a layout of the little one's first day back from last year. She was so little to be going to preschool, but it was such a great thing for her. We also go to Kindermusik, and LOVE it. So, here is a layout documenting our love for "Our Time" as well.

October Retreat Pages

Like I've said before, we get together several times a year and scrap. Here are the pages I came up with for everyone. They are all in kits and ready to go. Now just to wait until October.

Be Yourself

Be Yourself! That's good advice always. Being that I'm seven months pregnant now and I haven't felt like myself in a long time, it's really good advice!

This cute page was designed by Katie Dambrink and I love that I made a page about me. Someday, my kids will love it!

Fall Field Trip

Serioulsy, where does time go? Scrapbooking is so fun for me on so many levels. I love creating, but I'm also very sentimental and I love looking at pages and pictures and documenting a moment in time. This field trip was a year ago. A. year. ago. And yet, it feels like it was a few days ago. I love helping out in the classroom and going on field trips whenever I can. I love being involved in all my kids too. And of course, I love scrapbooking about it. I love fall. It is my absolute favorite time of year. There is so much to anticipate in the coming months, so much to do, so much to be grateful for and so many fun activities. I just love Fall. What else can I say?
This layout uses really old Basic Grey. I LOVE to follow the new trends in scrapping and I LOVE to get the latest and greatest supplies, but the frugal me also loves to use what I've had for dare I say-- five years? I have no idea how old this collection is, but it's still fun to work with and still fun to make timeless pages.

Dance the Night Away...

My little lady loves to dance. She has been attending a great studio for several years now. She just started again and loves it again. I just love her!

Never Grow Up

In honor of it being the first week of school, and that I am thoroughly missing my kids and feeling bad for myself that they are so big, I thought I'd share a recent layout, inspired by Taylor Swift.

She is still growing up, even though I hate it, I wish she could stay this little!

Summer Lovin'

We are enjoying the summer at our house. Although it is flying by. Why does it always seem to do that? It seems like after the fourth of July its just straight back to school.
Here are some layouts. The summer one features really old Three Bugs in a Rug paper, but sometimes its fun to pull out really old stuff and make it new and make it fun. I have a whole room full of old scrap stuff it seems so it makes me happy to use it.



This second layout has some Crate Paper. It's fun to document a really great memory and working with this lady was something I will never ever forget.


I guess I'll try to soak up summer while I can--it truly is going too fast!

July Retreat Pages

Ok ladies-- Here are my pages for the retreat! They are really pretty easy to put together. The Fourth of July Page has different die cuts from My Minds Eye--so all pages will not be exactly the same but I will tell you that they are all cute so do not worry. You will need to choose a border sticker to layer over the polka dot ribbon and a main tag and two little accents for the top right.

The other page is very self explanatory- just slightly trim the 4x6 photo and matte it. You will need an eyelet setter. If you have a crop-a-dile that would work perfectly.

Stay tuned for instructions on the card/tags I did for the retreat!

We Belong and more...

These pages are the ones I created for the April big scrapbooking day! This is turning out to be so much fun and I get a ton of projects done when we do this. 20+ pages in a day plus hours of friends and fun! I can't say enough about how fun our get togethers are.

I really liked how all these turned out, although I may add a different picture to the "favorite" page. I'd hate my older daughter to think my little one is the favorite. LOL

Pages of my little one...

So the little one is potty trained and here is the layout. I love it! All thes pages are fun because they are about the little one at such a fun age. I love this age 2 and a half to three years old they are hilarious and cute. The middle page is about her first hair cut which was almost a year ago.
Once again I can only take credit for two of the pages. The "5" page is designed by my cute friend Heidi!

Our Scrap Days!

I wish I could say I designed these pages. I did not. These are some from our January scrapbook day. The one where we each create two scrap pages and kit them for everyone and come home with 20 darling pages. It's such a fun day. And these are such fun pages. I love them.

Cards

Have I mentioned I am in a card exchange club? We make a dozen cards and get together to swap them and come home with a dozen darling cards made by each other. It's such fun. Here's my Easter card. (The Spring one) and another fun card for this time of year.

Two girls

So my littlest one cut her bangs. Ugh! It took a while to get her hair to look decent and now this. I'm serioulsy in trouble with that girl.

These pictures were taken the day after she cut them. It's been almost two months and just now they are barely starting to grow back.
I took these pictures on the way out the door to church back in February. I think they are cute, even if we had to go back to the headband and fro hair do. LOL!
This is another crate paper line. I saw the colors and knew exactly what photos would go with it. I love the results.

Crate Paper

I'm loving Emma's Shoppe by Crate Paper. But I really love everything Crate! This line is so perfect for so many pictures of my little girls. These papers are gorgeous. Of course I added a few other papers in there--including some new My Mind's Eye-which is also yummy! Stella and Rose is awesome as well. These layouts make me laugh. I think there is something about my kids at this age. The things they do make the cutest pages!

Me & You

Here's a fun layout of my husband and me. I think I never make pages about us, but apparently I do, LOL! This one I made for a scrapbook page swap with friends. I love the bright fun colors. I love yellow. It's my favorite color ever. This page was fun to create. I love this photo of us. I guess I scrap all the good ones of the two of us- even though I don't have many photos of just us together. This layout uses some fun die cuts from Graphically Speaking. I love the Kerri Bradford designs on this cartridge. Her designs are so my style--and this is one of my favorite cartriges ever. I'm in love with my cricut! I think the flower comes from the Home Accents cartridge.

Us

Here's a fun page I did of my hubby and I. We get to go on lots of pretty exotic vacations and I'm one lucky girl. This page is looking a little blue- but in real life it looks much better. It's not very often I get to do pages about just the two of us so it's fun to have. This picture is from a year ago and it was good to get it in the album.

Sugar Sweet

We made sugar cookies and then went to a friends house to decorate them with her kids. It was a lot of fun. The best part was that the girlies and I wore our matching aprons. My little one is sugar sweet that's for sure.We all had fun making valentine sugar cookies!

This was just a bunch of papers I had in my stash. Some from American Crafts, some from who knows where. It just came together quick.

Little Love Notes

Here's a Valentine Layout that features the little one's first time making valentines. These photos are from last year, but sometimes I love digging out old photos and truly reminising. Time flies.

Love is in the air...

Here's a fun valentine layout featuring American Crafts paper from a few years back and three bugs in a rug. Love the graphic/ fun feel to this layout! I sure love these sweeties.

Here's a cute one of the little ladies. I love it when I just play with scraps and come up with a great layout. This is just what I did for this one...

And here's one featuring crate paper, which I love. Again, this is an older line. This was a page I designed for a scrapbook swap day. It was super fun. Everyone designs a layout and kits it ten times and then we go exchange and end up with fun layouts in different styles. It's also a day to catch up with old friends, so of course I look forward to it every time!

Faith

This page is my little girl. I love her and she has been somewhat of a challenge for me. It takes a lot of faith to keep it together. I love her so!
