Bumbo Chair

Okay, semi funny story. I was looking through the last issue of CK and I was noticing a lot of purple layouts.... and I'm sorry to be so blunt and honest, but I didn't really like them. I was telling all of my friends at a crop last night how much I didn't like purple. Then, I came across this layout that was stuck between some of my magazines and noticed the purple... that I used on a boys layout... and I actually love it! So, maybe I'm just a hypocrite!

(Oh, and by the way, the reason my baby boy has a purple bumbo is because I didn't want to buy one for him so I borrowed it from my sister in law who has a girl:)

This page is an example of my frustration with my scrapbooking styles and sizes. I chose to do 6x6 layouts for my kids albums.... for the most part that has worked out great for me. I love how simple they are and I love that it's super easy for my kids to look at their own albums. However, there are a lot of times when it is very difficult to fit more than one picture on a page. This particular page had a really awesome picture of my baby reaching for the carpet. I had to shrink it on my mom's ink jet printer and so my nice picture turned into something not so nice.... someday I'll have to find a balance between nice photography and fitting it on my scrapbook page!

Oh, and another side note... this background paper is the packaging from a package of letter stickers... look at me using packaging for my background paper!!!

Brenner's 5th Birthday

This was a very simple layout. It's fun to pull the corner rounder out once in awhile. Patterned paper is Basic Grey and I love buttons just as much as I love stitching and ribbon.

When I was pregnant with Brenner I got caught up on all of my scrapbooking. I had been doing 8 1/2 x 11 for years and I decided that since we were changing from a couple to a family, I could change my scrapbooking. So I started doing 12x12 for my family album but thought I would do 6x6 for each kid. That has actually turned out pretty good for MOST things. I only need one or two pictures of the first smile, haircut, etc. The hard part has been birthdays. I feel like I have to leave so many pictures out because I just can't fit them on the 6x6 pages. (at least I have digital copies of everything:)
