EDLC - I'm out!

Well, I'm out of the EDLC. :( Yesterday was Madison's 5th birthday and we were on the go all day long! Last night when things slowed down, I had 45 minutes left to do my layout and I was just not feelin' it...I was BEAT! I didn't want to make myself create a page that I might not love just to get it done, so I sent my friends an email letting them know I was taking myself out of the challenge. I'm bummed that I didn't finish, but I had an AWESOME day with Mark and the girls, so I can't complain. ;) Thanks for going along with me on the ride. Hopefully the next time we have a challenge, I'll keep up! Here's a picture of my baby girl enjoying a yummy cupcake...

That face cheers me right up!! ;) Have a great day...

EDLC Day #8

Today was another busy day for me but I had this morning free, so I had time to sit down and create a page. I've had this picture of Madison for a couple of months now and I'm so happy to finally have it scrapped! :) It's one of my favs...

Supplies: Cosmo Cricket Paper - Girl Friday; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Slice; Slice Fonts Design Card; Bazzill Flower; Prima Flower; American Crafts Button; Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Pearl

I can never get enough of that Girl Friday paper! Love it. ;)

EDLC Day #7

One week down! This challenge has been alot of fun, and it's definitely keeping me on my toes. ;) Today's been a busy day so I just did a quick 8x8 page for a gift album I'm working on for my mother-in-law. This is my hubby's niece Marybeth. Isn't she gorgeous??

Supplies: BoBunny Paper - Love Bandit; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Prima Flowers; Making Memories Button; K&Company Rub-on - Classic K McKenna; Making Memories Sanding Block

The light isn't so good outside right now, so hopefully I can get a better picture tomorrow. See you then! :)

EDLC Day #6

I love today's layout!! We went to the beach for the first time as a family last summer and I'm just now getting around to getting some pages done. This is the second one, lol! Better late than never right? ;) These were some of my favorite shots of the first time Mark went in the ocean with the girls. Emily's actually been to the beach before (with my mom and sister) but it was Madison's first time, and she LOVED it! We're going back again this year and I can't wait...

Supplies: Fancy Pants Paper - The Daily Grind; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Basic Grey Chipboard Letters - Hip; Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Pearl; Making Memories Tiny Alphas - Ledger; Prima Flowers; American Crafts Buttons, Making Memories Sanding Block

Have an awesome Sunday everyone!! :)

EDLC Day #5

It's Saturday...and I'm all ALONE! I still can't believe it, lol. Mark is at work and my sister Maryann came and got both girls to take them swimming. How cool is that? It's such a weird feeling! I guess I should get used to it with Madison starting Kindergarten next year though. ;) So anyway, here's my layout for today. I scrapped about my honey...

Supplies: My Mind's Eye Paper - Breaking Free; Fancy Pants Paper - The Daily Grind; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Slice; Slice Fonts Design Card; EK Success Border Punch - Diamond Lace; Fiskars Heart Punches; Bazzill Jewel Template - Borders; Recollections Pearls
*Inspired by Creative Scrappers Sketch #98

Are we cute or what?!? ;) I definitely need to scrap more pictures of us together. Such important memories...

Well, I hope everyone enjoys their Saturday! I'm headed out to lunch with my other sis Amy in a little while...with no kiddos. :) We don't get many chances to hang together without them along so it's AWESOME. See you tomorrow!
