hello fun!

Although I purchased this paper for one single use in mind I was so happy that it worked for this set of pictures as well. I've had these on the desk for months now just waiting for the inspiration to scrap them. I wanted something fun and young and I got it! I used a Got Sketch? sketch for this layout and I actually stayed true to the sketch, which I can't seem to accomplish these days for some reason. I try to bust out some pages using sketches just to save on time and it rarely works for me....it doesn't stop me from collection sketches though!

Don't you just love when a paper collection matches your photos perfectly! I totally bought this paper with only this photo in mind. I love, love, love the blues here and it's a perfect match for her shirt. I wanted to make this one fun and sassy just like her...I think I succeeded!

I found one more patch layout and since it's one of my favorite pictures, I just had to share it! It's very rare that I can get Jack to sit still for a picture so when this one came out I was so happy because it's also rare that I'm even in a picture at all!

patch adventures

In honor of the next pumpkin patch trip we're taking today I thought I share last years trip. We've gone to the same patch since Jordan was like 5 months old. It's a cute little pumpkin farm that has goats, cows, chickens and the brand new kittens that are a major hit with Jordan. There is a fun hay bale maze for the little kids and a corn maze for the big ones. I have to admit that I do have a tiny panic attack entering the corn maze! I totally put on a brave face for the kids but I do not love the corn maze. Of course they do so we trek on through regardless!

safrass flower, ac felt flower, prima canvas, maya road chipboard tree

scary!

I haven't made a card in a while with all the scrapping I've been doing, so I whipped one out today. I used the oh so fun HSH Halloween Additions set from There She Goes. I seriously can't get enough of this one! This glass of eyeballs makes me chuckle every time I look at it.

I tried to not use any pattern paper and just stamp but the pretty paper won out in the end and of course it's Pink Paislee's Twilight collection. I promise I'll try and make something without it very, very soon!

EIO Tuesday

Holy cow! Is it Tuesday again??!! I can't believe I haven't posted anything for a week...and I was doing so well. That won't happen again this week. I spent the entire weekend away with my girl friends and got 9 pages done while I there. I know it doesn't seem like much, but as slow as I work...it was!

This week I've used the Cosmo Cricket Earth Love collection. It's such a fun line to work with and it was perfect for these birthday pictures of my daughter. I used the collection pack along with both sets of chipboard , my scalloped punch (which I apparently use on everything!) and a Kraft background (which I also can't stop using :>)

I hope it's a great day for all of you and I will be back tomorrow (as soon as I can get all these pages photographed) to share what I got done over the weekend!
