Little Family Reunion

This picture doesn't do this layout justice.

Back to School

So, the other day I put together this super cute layout for when the boys started preschool last year.

I went to put it in my album when I saw this....

How pathetic is it that I had already scrapbooked my back to school pics and I had forgotten?

Thankfully, Cami suggested that I could use the single photo layout for something else and just swap photos... now I'm a year ahead on a back to school layout!

So Tired

Can I consider this layout a girly layout because it has pink pompoms??? Will that scar Terek when he's older?

This is the page that I did for my scrap-a-page contest on my craft blog back in May. The winner ended up being Cami's mom and she wanted me to do a page for her scrapbook of Cami's daughter Ella at her preschool graduation. I love doing girly stuff, but with the colors in the pictures, I opted for a more bright color scheme that didn't end up as girly, but still way fun to do.

I especially loved all of my felt embellishments that I got to sew on and the cute gathered ribbon that I like to do on all of my pages right now.

Birth Announcement

I don't know if this counts, but I wanted to post this birth announcement I made for my friend Rachel. I even took the picture.

Blue Dinos Soccer

I love Sassafrass Lass. Their papers are sooooo cute and so fun!

Here is a layout that I did of Brenner's and Joren's soccer last fall.

I used the patterned paper from Sassafrass Lass. I mounted the larger team picture on black Bazzill cardstock. I used acrylic paint on my foam stamps from a Lisa Bearnson Kit of the Month. Thickers from American Crafts. And I love stitching.... especially the gathered ribbon that I've been doing a lot lately. (click on the picture to see it larger)

After I finished the "professional" pictures (they aren't that good) I had forgotten about the pictures that Ryan and I took. So I had to try to do a coordinating page with my scraps.

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:)
