Capture the minutes...

Good morning!! How are you on this beautiful Saturday? I'm excited because my hubby goes on vacation starting tomorrow! We aren't going anywhere since my girls had Spring Break this week (bummer right?), so they'll be in school, but it will still be nice having him home. :)

So anyway, I have a new layout to share with you today. Earlier in the month, Sketches in Thyme posted about a DT Call on their blog and I got really excited! I've been having alot of fun with their sketches lately so I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring and try out. This is the layout I made that was inspired by the sketch they posted for the call...






Supplies: Basic Grey Olivia Paper - Amelia, Katelyn, Marabelle, Chloe; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Ali Edwards Stamp Set - It's In The Details; Studio Calio Mister Huey - Dark Calico; Fiskars Scallop Sentiment Border Punch; Fiskars Circle Punches - Large & Medium; Martha Stewart 3-in-1 Classic Butterfly Punch; American Crafts Button; The Twinery Twine; CK Alis Hand Computer Font

This is my hubby and his mom holding Madison on the day she was born. His mom lives pretty far away so we were all very thankful that she was able to be here with us. :)

In case you're wondering why I've been working on so many baby pages lately, it's because I decided to do a scrapbook for each of my girls about their birth. It's been really awesome going back through baby pictures and working with them, and the memories have been flooding through, which I'm treasuring. It all seems SO long ago, sigh...

Anyway, if you will, please think lots of good thoughts for me to make the team!! And thanks for stopping by!

Hi there my sweet friends!! I've got a new layout to share with you today that I am SO in love with. I actually started working on it Wednesday morning and didn't finish it until around 1 am today, lol! I had it sitting on my desk with the things in place but couldn't seem to glue anything down. I finally starting putting everything where I wanted it to go though and it all came together so easily after that...






Supplies: Basic Grey Konnichiwa Paper - Good Afternoon, Friendly Greetings; Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Spun Sugar, Antique Linen, Pumice Stone; Ali Edwards Stamp Sets - Family Is, Adored; American Crafts/Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Roller Date Stamp; Fiskars Flit On By Punch; Fiskars Circle Punches; EK Success Scallop Circle Punch; Basic Grey Buttons; CK Cindy Computer Font

I adore this picture of my girls. They were SO lovey towards each other that day...no arguing or fighting, even when they had to sit down for pictures! It's so funny to me how my girls can be so different from one another but still have amazing moments like this one where they mesh together perfectly. I talked about that in the journaling because I want them to know that it's ok to be different and unique, as long as you always remember to keep yourself open to new things...

Well that's it from me today! I've got some cards in the works that I'll try to get done soon and be able to share. Today started Spring Break for us so I'll have lots of time to create...as long as I can keep Madison off the computer, which is on my scrap table, lol! Wish me luck with that ok? ;)
