fun stuff

Look who's smiling?!?!?! My big girl! She is already 13lbs and is all grown up at a little over 2 months old!! LOL!! (Guess who dressed her???)
Wohoo - I made it into a picture (only b/c my sis in law was there and she's camera happy too!)
When I printed this pic I did it in BW and it looks sooo much better. I'll spare you the whole series of these pics (you know like 12 of them!!).
This was a "wish party" that cade had with one of his friends. He loves picking the dandelions and blowing them all over (Daddy isn't too crazy about it, but lets him anyway). He picked a ton of these one day and saved them for when the kids got here to have a "Wish party" with them. So sweet - I think he wished for a new dog and lots of Transformers - Imagine that!
I went to Archiver's today for a fun Enjoy Life acrylic album class IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY!! Byron stayed with the kids (yes he's great and I'm spoiled) and I made this fun family album for only $15!! Each page is unique. I didn't photo all of the pages but you get the idea. I love the clear page in the middle with swirls. I wonder how long it will sit empty before I actually put pics in it?!?!? LOL! THis makes me want to do another clear album.




I also made a wedding album for a couple. The mother in law hired me to do this at the last minute. I scrambled to find the perfect paper to match - they were having a casual small wedding in Gatlinburg but were wearing tuxes and a formal wedding dress so had to mix casual with formal..... oh and the colors were "periwinkle and buttercup" - talk about a challenge and in a week. There were no pics so it was a little less work, but still this stresses me out when I feel like I've LOST some scrappy mojo lately. OH well it's done and I think the lady liked it - hope the bride does!! Here are a few of my fave pages.


And look an early post for this week (OR more like a late one from last week.) :)

look at that baby girl! She is getting so big already. I love the pic of the two of you, the tulips are beautiful. Cade and his friend blowing the dandilions is just adorable. Seeing all the scrapping you've been doing makes me want to do some scrapping of my own.

OH! She's so cute smiling! It's the best when they smile back at you. Makes those first weeks soooo worth it! ;)

Album is cute. I can't wait to see what kind of pics you put in it. Very curious.

Love the albums. I'm also curious to see how you use the one you made in the class. It reminds of something Ali Edwards would make! :)

That baby girl of yours is beautiful. Smiling is so sweet.
