Spring

A scrappy resolution I have is to *try* to create more multi-photo layouts. I prefer the look of one-photo layouts, but I have accumulated a large pile of unscrapped photos that I just love...time to start piling them on one page!

Here is a spring layout with pictures of my boys taken on Easter Sunday last year...three photos - yay me!

Supplies Used: Papers (American Crafts, Echo Park, Basic Grey, My Mind's Eye), American Crafts Thickers, K&Co chipboard butterflies, Prima Marketing crystals

First Day

My "baby" boy started pre-K in August. I had dreaded this day for so long, as he had never been to "real" school before and was very attached to me (because I am just that awesome!). :) He did great, and I snapped this picture right as we were leaving for the big day. 

Supplies Used: Fancy Pants papers and chipboard, Jenni Bowlin ticket and BINGO card,  American Crafts Thickers, Jillibean Soup twine

Happy New Year {belated}!

Happy {belated} New Year! Things have been so busy around here, I just haven't had a chance to do much scrapping. My Christmas was full of excitement and joy. I hope that yours was, too. Even though I haven't been scrapping, I've been decorating for the holidays, baking like a crazy woman, "baking" a baby, redoing my boys' room, and participating in all of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

 I added a lot of lime green to my tree this year. Loved the splashes of lime!

And here are all THREE of my guys at Christmastime. We found out that we are being blessed with another healthy and whole baby boy! Nathan will be here at the end of April. I must catch up on scrapping all of my photos before he makes his entrance into the world.

 

 I've got over 100 pictures ordered, and a box of scrapping goodies on route to my home. I can't wait to use them!

Here's to a fabulous 2012!

 I love love love fall! Here are my boys at our yearly trip to the pumpkin Patch and a list of my fall favorites.

Supplies Used: Patterned Papers (BoBunny, Bella Blvd, Basic Grey, Jillibean Soup), Tim Holts tickets, Jillibean Soup twine, Sassafras Lass letters, Bella Blvd stickers.

LOL

Here are my sisters, my mom, and I LOLing about who knows what. I'm sure my sisters won't appreciate this layout/ picture, but I figure that I can post it since my mouth is open the widest. ;)

This color palette is not my norm -- I kind of like it!

Supplies Used: Patterned Papers (Basic Grey, Bella Blvd), Jillibean Soup journaling sprouts and twine, American Crafts letters, misc. buttons.

I'm Back...

It's been a long while, but I do have a very good reason why:

At the end of August, I found out that we are expecting our third child. We could not be happier, but just as I received an awesome box of scrapbooking goodies from twopeas that I could not wait to use, the morning sickness hit. ICK! Barf! GAG! I had an exhausting few weeks, but now I am officially entering my 2nd trimester and am feeling so much better. I am itching to dig into my new supplies and start scrapping all of the pictures that have accumulated these past few months.

My sweet boy turned three.  His Car's themed cake was my 2nd time at making a cake with marshmallow fondant. So Fun!

  

 My big boy, Sam, started pre-k. *sniff* I have dreaded this day for so long, as it was his first time to start "real" school, but he has done remarkably well - didn't even shed a tear on the first day. I, on the other hand, was a complete mess. In my defense, pregnancy hormones were in full swing. I found out the next day that I was pregnant!

 To make room for our new little joy, Jack has been evicted from the nursery, and he is now a roomie with his big brother. Any extra time and energy that I have had has been spent on fixing their new room up. More pictures to come.

And believe it or not, when I found out that I was going to be the mother of boys, I made a decision that we would be a gun-free family. Why yes, I sure did!

Lots of summer fun pictures, back to school pictures, and now pumpkin patch pictures are calling my name. I'm so glad to be back into the swing of things!

Happy scrapping!

2 Boys

I'm a sucker for layouts with an 8X10 print! I just love the look of them, and so I jump at the opportunity when Walgreen's offers a free 8X10 print. This picture was taken of my 2 boys during a recent family vacation. I adore the innocence of this photo. My boys are growing up so quickly and are becoming the sweetest little friends.

Supplies Used: Patterened Papers (Basic Grey, Bo Bunny Press, Jillibean Soup), Reminisce flowers, Prima Marketing leaves, Tim Holtz tags
