Just saying hi!

I haven't been around all that much lately and the reason behind it is that my BABY will be starting Kindergarten this year! We went to the beach for vacation at the end of July, and now that we're home, we're spending all the time together that we can. Once the girls are in school, I'll have plenty of time to create, so I'm sure you'll see me often. ;)

For now, here's a picture that I took of my sweet family headed to the water the first day we went to the beach...

Are they amazing or what? I am SO thankful for each of them and so glad God blessed me like He has. :)

Memories...

I took this amazing picture of my sweet hubby last year when we went to the beach for vacation. I've had it developed for a while but wasn't sure how I wanted to scrap it. I just got some of this yummy Fancy Pants paper in the mail this week and then today I saw the challenge over at Everything Scrapp'n to use red, white & blue along with some stars. This page popped into my head...

Supplies: Fancy Pants Paper - Papa; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Heidi Swapp Stamp; EK Success Binding Edge Punch; Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; Making Memories Sanding Block; Chipboard Stars

I am SO happy with how it turned out!! Scrapping my two sweet girls all the time makes it very hard to scrap a page that's not girly, but I think I totally rocked this one. The awesome papers helped of course. ;) Maybe I'll even win some goodies for it! Wish me luck...

Easter!

I did this layout today about how we celebrated Easter this year. We always go to my mom's for an egg hunt and have such a great time! I used a sketch that's posted over at Papercraft Star this week. My sweet friend Suzanne is on the design team so I wanted to play along and show her some support. ;) Plus, the sketch rocks!! Here's my page...

Supplies: BoBunny Paper - Love Bandit; BoBunny Double Dot Paper - Strawberry; Martha Stewart Butterfly Punches; Martha Stewart Heart Confetti Punch; Doodlebug Jack & Jill Cardstock Alphabet Stickers - Bon Bon; Prima Flower; Making Memories Buttons; Autumn Leaves Clear Button; Ranger Ink Glossy Accents; Recollections Pearls; Twine

I am LOVING it!! I really like finding ways to use alot of pictures on a layout without crowding them and this sketch was great for that. :) Thanks for looking!!

Update: I won an award!!! Check it out on the right. ;)
