As Promised....

Here is my friend's wedding album I made for her! I'm so happy with the way it turned out! I think since I forgot to bring it up north last weekend, I may try to find a picture of her and I and make just 1 more page for the end of the book, but we'll see. I didn't use the traditional wedding paper and embilishments because I want her to be able to do that when she decides to make her own. All paper is from the DCVW Latte Stack, all embilishments came from a pack I bought from Sam's some time back (you can read more about HERE) and I'm pretty sure all the layouts came from my friend's site scrapsketch Thanks Steph for all the awesome layout ideas you give us every week!

Just a quick update

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a great summer! We sure are, even though the weather hasn't been the best. We've been having date nights and going to lots of plays and also bringing the oldest to the stock car races every week, tonight is the bus and trailor races, we can't wait! I have quite a few new layouts done, just need to take pictures of them and get them posted one of these days!

I took a trip up north last weekend and was going to bring my friend her wedding album for her anniversary, but got so flustered and in a rush to leave, forgot it, uggg... So, not sure the next time I will be heading up. I might just take some good pictures and e-mail them to her and tell her I will give it to her next time I'm up.

It's Finished!

Sorry I have been MIA for some time now! It's been a busy summer with not too much time to scrap. I did get a chance to scrap almost all day yesterday though and was able to finish up my friend's wedding album! YAY! I'm really happy with how it turned out. I will be heading up north next weekend and will give it to her then. I haven't gotten a chance to take the pics of the rest of the pages, but will do that soon. I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful day with friends and family!

We are getting ready to take the kids to the parade, then after that there is a car show, then we will come home and bbq and let the kids play in the pool and sprinkler, then off to the fireworks!

Shower Games

I didn't have many pictures of the Wedding shower, so I made 1 lo of the games and 1 of the gifts. Here is the one of the Games. We had to make a wedding dress out of TP! It was a blast! Enjoy :)

Larry and Sarah

Here is another LO I did for my friend's album. These pictures were taken at the reception.

Wedding Album

So a few weeks ago, I posted a poll about making a scrapbook album for my friend's 5th wedding anniversary. Well, I got lots of responses and decided to go for it! I'm going to use the Latte stack for all the paper and the scrapbooking kit I bought at Sam's some time ago. I am also leaving a spot for her to journal on every page. This is not going to be the typical wedding album as I wanted her to be able to do that with the album she is going to make. I've been having a blast making these pages! Here is my first LO that I'm going to share. It's the night before the wedding and we are decorating the Hall for the reception. I will post another one hopefully tomorrow!

New Layout

Here is a new layout I whipped up quick today, just really simple no title yet, but wanted to post it anyway. This is Alyssa on her 1st birthday. I had just gotten a new camera and was playing with the color splash feature.

Went Shopping!

I got a chance to go out of town yesterday to get some scrapping shopping in, wow, did I ever have a great time! My friend Steph brought me to Crafts Direct holy cow, that place is huge! I found a lot of stuff there including the new swiss dots border punch! I got to use a M's 40% coupon on it and I had another coupon 20% off your entire order so I got to use that on all my stuff too!

There was a Big Lots a few blocks away so we stopped there too and I found a really cute sesame street border punch for only $2 and some Thickers for $2 a pack. I have just started to get into those.

Next was J's, my mission there was to get soccer felt for Jade's blanket which I found the cutest print, I was so excited! And also I wanted the DCWV Summer stacks so I got the regular one and the patterned card stock one. They also had there paper 6 for 96 cents! That was a shocker, it wasn't in the ad so I stocked up on card stock there too.

Then we drove another hour to Archivers I found a few things there. Didn't really go there looking for anything specific though.

We headed to a really good Mexican place for dinner, I had a steak burrito and holy cow that thing was big! I couldn't even eat it all, but it was sooo good!

Next we started heading home, we got almost half way and she told me about this store where she had gone to a retreat at and it was only like 5 minutes out of our way so we decided to go, it was already 8pm, but figured what the hey, I ended up finding more thickers and a few other things, they were having a "Happy Birthday" retreat in the back because it was the stores 1 year anniversary the ladies there were so nice and they showed us lots of new things. I got to finally see a slice in action. Still not quite too sure about it, it's so tiny and can't cut things very big. The fonts and such are really cute, but I think I'm going to stick with my Cricut for now :)

We finally pulled in the driveway at 11pm. Overall I had a wonderful day and found everything that I had on my list!

Happy Memorial Day!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a great Memorial Day weekend! We were going to go camping this year, the entire family, but then noticed that it was supposed to drop down into the 40's at night and that's just too cold for the 2 babies so we decided to just stay home. Yesterday I spent the entire day scrapping. I got a few layouts done, nothing fancy, I just haven't been very creative lately.Today we took the kids to the parade, it was nice and short, only about 45 minutes long, thankfully because the rain clouds are coming in and the temp is dropping.



I wanted to share this layout I did a while ago titled "Kids at Play" My Best friend who lives 3 hours away from me met us half way at Mc Donalds so the kids could play and we could catch up.

Well, that's all for now, I'm going to head to my scrapping table and see if I can get a few pages done between doing laundry!

Happy Natonal Scrapbook Day

I will not be doing any scrapping today, we are taking the kids to the twin cities to go watch Thomas and Friends and Chuckie Cheese! I'm really looking forward to it! Of course I'll be hitting a Joann's while we are down there for some shopping! I hope everyone has a great day today and gets lots of scrapping done!

Changed my mind!

Well, in my last post, I said I wouldn't get much scrapping done durring the summer. I got to thinking about it, and it's my stress reliever. I can't give it up for the summer. I decided to sit and scrap all day yesterday by myself (I normally don't do that, usually I need someone to scrap with in order to get anything done) Well, I finished up close to 10 layouts yesterday! Yahoo! And I'm still kind of in the mood so might do some more today. I haven't gotten a chance to take any pictures yet, but I will so I can start to get them posted.

I also created a poll on my blog, I will take into concideration all feedback because if I decide to do this, it will end up being a huge project. I bought a kit thing from Sam's some time ago that all matches and it's Purple, that was her main color in the wedding, so I won't have to buy too much stuff, just finding the time to get it all done is going to be the tricky part!

Award Ceremony

Here is the page I did for Jade's cub scout scrapbook, it's his first award ceremony they had. The pictures show him getting a few different things and him and his friend Cole being the silly boys they are! This is going to be my last scrapbook layout for a while. Summer is comming and I will be spending more time outside with the kids than I will be inside scrapping. I'm hoping to try to scrap at least one full day a month, but we'll see how that goes!

Heading off to School

Here is Jade's first day of 1st grade, I used locker talk for the cricut cuts and the gradeschool stack for the paper.

I haven't been in the most creative mood lately. I'm planning a trip to the Twin Cities in about a month, hopefully by then I'll feel more in the mood. They have way more scrap stores down there than we have up here.

I hope everyone is enjoying spring! We had 77* and sunny weather here Friday and today was 33* and snowing!

Monster Truck Show

I took Jade last night to see the Monster truck show, here is a picture I took of the both of us before the show started.


Here's a good shot of the "Ride and Glide" Team, they are BMX riders, and wow are they good! This guy jumped over another guy on his bike!


Jade watching the show. Doesn't he just look so excited to be there! ha ha


Here is the "Havoc" and the "Mechanical Mischife" in action!


And last but not least, Jade at the end of line from getting his checkered flag autographed from all the drivers and BMX riders from the show! I think that was his favorite out of the entire thing!

We had a great time and it was nice to have Mom and Jade time too!

A couple Christmas Layouts

Here are a couple Christmas layouts of Alyssa, this first one was Christmas Eve, that's when we do Christmas at our house. This layout came from my "Idea Deck" I never did get to actually making a title for it, but it's pretty busy as it is (as with most layouts from that deck).


This next one was Christmas morning after Santa came. She had so much fun taking all of her stuff out of her stocking!

Little Angel

Here is Alyss just a few days over 1 month old, gosh how time flies!

Babies 1st Halloween

Here's my little girl's first Halloween! She was a little bumbe bee, she was so cute! I'm pretty sure I used Pooh font for the title and DCWV Halloween stack for all the paper. Thanks for looking!

Dream Sweet Baby Dream

Here is my little Alyssa snoozing :) Simple LO, not much to say about it.

On another note, our Easter was great, we went to MIL's for lunch/dinner, it was excelant! After we got home, I was heading out to wal-greens to pick up some pictures and I stepped wrong on my foot, ended up going into Urgent care today and come home with a sprained anckle diagnosis, I have an ASO brace on for a few weeks and they sent me home with crutches just in case I need them. Apparently if you are limping in anyway at all, you should use them, but they are such a pain in the butt! I have to "take it easy" for a while, but with 3 kids, it's kind of hard to!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with family and friends!

Alyssa's Birthday Layouts

This is my 100th post!!! It is also the 100th day of the year! Here are Alyssa's birthday layouts. I had so much fun with these ones!

Happy Good Friday everyone!

Grandma Visits

Grandma came to visit for Alyssa's 1st birthday, here are some random pictures I had from when she was here.

2 more :)

Another simple layout (I'm starting to like these ones they get done so fast!) This is My Alyssa playing with her new "princess" Hat.





Here is my "monke boy" Devin eating his favorite Fruit Banana. The paper and letters are from the DCWV Animal Cracker.

It's been a while AGAIN!

Things have been pretty crazy around here, I've gotten quite a bit of scrapping done over the last few weeks, but just now got to taking pics of them all so over the next few days I'll be posting a little at a time :)

The one I'm going to do today is titled "winter fun" It's of my first son Jade and his first time sledding, I know I've scrapped these pics before, but that was before the cricut :) I used SYI to make the snowflake boarder.



The 2nd one here is nothing fancy, just put some pics down on some fancy paper. Not much room for anything on paper like this. DD Alyssa playing.
