Pretty in Pink

I am sooooo late in posting this double page LO. I went and Posted in all my galleries, and well, yes I forgot about my sweet little blog. Whoa have I been busy. I will be back later to post another LO that I did using another kit by Scrappyweiss Designs. This LO was done using the kit Pretty in Pink just click on the name and it will direct you to her store at Enchanted Studio Scraps. It was so fun and a great trip over memory lane with the pictures.

Two things!!!

OMGOSH!!! I MADE THE CT FOR SCRAPPYWEISS DESIGNS!!! I AM SO EXCITED! So having said that! Here are two layouts that I did using one of her kits and I have so much to play with! Tomorrow or Thursday I get to post a new LO I did using one of her newest kits...but it hasn't been released so I have to keep it on the hush hush for now!!! But I will say for sure that you will LOVE IT!!! I did and I used my favorite pictures ever for it!!! Have I pump pump fired you up???lol
So using her Paisley Punch kit Here is what I came up with: I just love these pages! Isn't the one with Grandpa and Grandson just so beautiful. I loved the squares raised off the page...I think it really sealed the deal!
Enjoy!


I just took this photo recently when my dad came to visit. I just love seeing my kids with Grandparents!



Hudson walks around constantly with this little pretend milk bottle in his mouth from his sisters play kitchen. One day, I just had to take the photo and let him remember how devoted to this milk bottle he was!lol

Elissa by Jolene Shaffer

I wanted to get our Easter photos scrapped before they sat on my hard drive until next Easter and I realized that they weren't done yet. So here is our first event for egg hunting at friends house around the corner. This is Hudsons first Easter and Faith has become such a pro. We normally make our rounds and attend so many egg hunts, but this year was a bit more mellow for us. Of course wea attended the cider mill egg hunt which you will definetly see the photos of, but until then, here are some great photos from our first trip out for Easter! This kit is called Elissa by Jolene Shaffer at 3 scrapateers. I just love the photo of my dear hubby and our precious princess! Isn't it just perfect. They are so cute together, not to mention how much they look alike, right???

Sweet Surrender by Meredith Cardall

Our trip to DC was a couple years ago, but I haven't found the right papers, and embellishments that made me want to use the pictures. I finally found some that spoke to me and it was time! So without further ado, I used the kit Sweet Surrender over at 3scrapateers . The buterflies were plenty and I got these photographs on the way to the White House I believe. I saw this one and it was just so pretty, I had to stop and watch it explore and "dance" around its world. What beautiful creatures they are!

The University of YOU

We had a playdate with friends last week and the girls came down dressed at Hannah Montana. They performed to several songs for us, of course we video taped it too! I will have to upload that soon. I used the kit Toddler Time Girl by Pixie Perfect Designs. The girls are just too cute!

Gypsie Spring

I am so excited after having a glimpse of nice weather for spring to really get here...aren't we all though. My dear little Faith has had the chance to spend her spring break with her wonderful cousins that we all love so very much. She just adores spending her every waking second with Hope and these photos just show that to the T.
I used the kit Gypsie Spring by Pixie Perfect Designs Just click on the name and it will take you to her store at Enchanted Studio Scraps!
Enjoy!

A bit late

I now know there was a reason that I hadn't scrapped Faiths fourth birthday...YES HER FOURTH and she is almost SIX! But it was the stars because, they knew that Divine Digital was going to have a daily download that would be perfect for these photos! The kids were just so cute and the party was so much fun. With only a few minor gliches, I would have to say that this party was a huge success...
Enjoy the photos!

1st Haircut

I can't believe it...Yes my little guy has had his first haircut already. Faith didn't get hers until well she must have been 4. I would have to look in the albums to see. Little Hudson man just turned one though!!! I was so tired of people saying..."look, she's looking at you!" Or, "She is so cute. Look at her eyes." Yes my son has beautiful eyes, but She is a HE! I will forever allow the parents of an unidentifiable gender to tell me what their childs name is, or at least just ask, "how old?" and wait for a response. My little guy is ALL BOY (except for when my husband placed the tiara on his head tonight and laughed for days...He vows to keep that photo until Hudson gets married. I coulda kicked him. Anyhow, these pages are the milestone we as parents just can't believe has already come around.
The kit was called Monkey Around by Pixie Perfect Designs.
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to my Dearest Baby BOY!!!

I had to post this before going to bed. Yes we did his birthday party already, but today was the actual big day! We had some tiramasu and icecream (yummy!) and he got his present from us! It was a very mellow night, but nevertheless, such a celebratory day! Happy 1st birthday my dear baby! We are so blessed! Here is a photo of him arriving in this world exactly one year ago, and fast forwarding a year....voila! Of course his proud big sister that is so anxious to help him learn it ALL!

Cold as Ice

Once again, I have no idea where I got this kit from. It appears from the file names that it was once possibly a blog train that I downloaded from several designers. I know that I downloaded it when I first began downloading before I knew that it was really important to give credit where credit is due. So, I will say that in my own defense. It is called cold as ice, and I am sure that it had to be a blog train from a now unremembered website. I had more pictures to use from our extreme amounts of snow that we got this winter, and I could not allow them to go unused on the hard drive...I just had to give them a home. I hope you enjoy them!

Frosticles

I have officially had a moment and I can't recall for the life of me where I got this kit from. I THINK I downloaded it from the member gallery on Digital Candy I am so sorry oh unknown desingner! I wish so much to give you the credit as this was such a fun kit to use. Frosty came together so easily. Aren't my kids so cute...There may not be anything better than watching your children have so much fun in the snow. It truly brings the child out in all of us!

He believed in me

I have had this itch to use these photos, and the kit Let it Rock by Vickis Work in Progress. It is no longer a freebie but you can find it in her store. I already used this kit, just a week or so ago, but the papers and colors were perfect and had to go together! I think they turned out great!

That Easter Feeling by Pixie Perfect Designs

I have completed a double page layout using a fabulous kit by Pixie Perfect Designs called That Easter Feeling (link to kit in store at Enchanted Studio Scraps)
Here is what the whole kit looks like.

And here are the pages I created using this fabulous kit!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Goth Princess...another Pyralis Designs Kit!

I just loved this kit! I can't say enough good things about it. I had no idea how to choose which photo to use! I think they ended up perfect! I did these layouts for the 3scrapateers creative team. The kit was called Goth Princess by Pyralis Designs. Such a fun kit, such fun layouts! Enjoy!

Its a Spring thing!

Ok, garsh, I have not posted the GREAT news! I applied for a couple Creative teams to make layouts using kits created by designers...And I made some teams! How absolutely awesome is that!!!
So I have been hard at work, learning the ins and outs and where tos and whens of what I need to do as a CT member.
I have made some guest spots in the upcoming months, but for now, my permanent CT homes will be with Pixie Perfect CT. The designer Holly seems very nice and I look forward to sharing future kits, layouts and links here! So keep your eyes open for more to come from her at Digital Candy.
Next spot is with 3Scrapateers! Yiippppeee! They are revamping their site and have a great new team I am so excited to get to work with. My first kit I used from 3 scrapateers was called Its a Spring thing by Pyralis Designs. It was such a fun bright kit to use and really made me find my happy place after all this rain that we have had. I so easily found these photos to use on the pages! What a great kit to help bring out the bright side of anything! Here are my pages I came up with!

My husband is the GREATEST!!!

Okay so I had to take a minute before going to bed to say how much I love my husband. I had mentioned to him today that I happened to spot a Guess purse at the store today and fell in love with it...but due to its rather high price point, I disregarded ever owning this coral beauty. However, he caught me offgaurd tonight walking in during dinner carrying...yup you guessed it! My purse! I know, I hear it .....aaaawwweeee! How sweet! Just had to say I sure love his attentivness and desire to keep the wife happy! I will post a photo of it tomorrow in case you are wondering what the mystery purse looks like. No it isn't coach or Vera Bradley, but it is mine, and I love it!!!


Yup, I sure did post pictures of my purse...faith is just as excited about it as I am too! LOL

Let it rock layouts are done!

I have been on a roll the last couple of days. It has been eating me alive to use these papers and embellishments. I knew when I saw the preview of the whole kit that I had to go back and use the photos I took of Faith on career day when she was 4. The kit was a collab called Let it rock by two of my FAVS Vickis work in progress and Sweet Blossom Designs I hope you enjoy our little rockstar as much as we do!

Faiths first catch

So I happened upon this website when I was uploading some freebies from the blog train. Kalo designs she just happened to be having a call for some people to design a couple pages using one of her kits. YIIPPPEEE! So I emailed her and much to my surprise, I found myself creating a double page layout using this great kit called Spring garden . It was a very fun kit to work with and best of all, it is 50% off in her store right now! I revisited some photos that I took a couple years ago, but happen to be some of Faiths Grandmas favorite pics...and mine too! Hope you love them!

Lattins Cider Mill

This week I pulled up some old photos from Fall 2007. We used to have so much fun visiting the cider mill in Olympia WA when we lived close by. They for sure had the BEST fresh apple fritters you could ever taste, and fresh cider that they made there! I would always buy all our apples there, (which I ate daily while pregnant with the kids). So when Mels Lightbulb moments teamed up to collab with Charlies Digiscraps to create this fabulous kit called Applespice and all things nice, I had to find our cider pics! Enjoy! One more fun post today!
