Recent Pixs

With the three day weekend having just begun, I was able to not only print out a few pictures, I was also able to scrap them. These pictures were taken Monday evening just before Passover dinner. I love that the babysitter was able to get the kids into some nice clothes for a change; she even had the girls' hair all curled...thanks Samantha!!

I am totally in love with this layout. I always tend to like my layouts when I start with a sketch in hand. This sketch was from Becky Fleck's PageMaps Feb 2010...the papers are all BG as are all of the accents. As you can see, I also took advantage of my new photo printer functionality --- check out that 8"x12" photo!




The journaling reads:
"It is never easy to get a good picture of the three of you together. You are always tickling and pinching each other just as the flash goes off. It is frustrating in the moment b/c I have my heart set on that "perfect" photo but you know what, these candid photos capture so much more of who you really are than that perfect photo ever would! Keep on giggling!!"

Spring Has Arrived

Spring has arrived....how do I know? Flowers poking through the ground reaching for the sun...maybe. Trees in bloom...certainly. But I know it's spring b/c I am constantly running from one thing to the next with no time to spare. The spring sports have begun. Practices for baseball, practices for soccer, normal gymnastics classes, clinics for hitting, clinics for hockey, it is NON-STOP. With all of that, I just haven't had time to keep up with my blog. I have a ton of pictures to share but no time to download. In the meantime, I did manage to get these layouts scanned to show you.

This first one is BoBunny Mamarazzi --- if you haven't gotten any of this line, get it! Both the A side and the B side are fabulous....and the chipboards are an ABSOLUTE must!!



This one is LYB Generation Z --- I had to get it just for the name. Check out the gears, aren't they awesome?! I might have to order some more of those.

B is For....

I am a planner by nature. I have a calendar in my pocketbook at all times, a wipeboard calendar at home, pages of "lists" (things to do, grocery/target lists, etc.)...scrapping on the fly and just throwing bits and pieces together does not come naturally to me. I attempt "fly scrapping" every so often and rarely like the end results. Today was an anomaly. I am fairly happy with this layout of my son. The papers are Sassafrass, the mists were a combination of Ranger Inks and Maya Mists, and the alphas are MM, AC, Jenni Bowlin, and Cosmo.

Another Cosmo "Trend-setter"

Once again, I was completely inspired with the Cosmo Material Girl Line. I still had the chipboard shapes sitting out on my desk from the "Are You Cut Out" layout and when I glanced at the little outfit shapes, I immediately thought of a clothes line...but what could I do with that? I then remembered this picture of Hannah in her fancy flower headband (straight out of Sex & the City if you ask me). It is one of her favorites and she could be seen wearing it day after day when she first got it. She looks like such the trendsetter in her "high fashion" headband. LOL.



I plan to add journaling but wanted to post this before I head to bead. BTW, Jing-Jing, thanks for those 7G tags....they were perfect. Michelle, did you see, I used purple (gasp) AGAIN!!
