the station

Ok this is the last page from a fun birthday tour at the fire station. I had this one last photo that I wasn't even sure I'd scrapbook and I'm so glad I did! This page came together so nicely. I used the Basic Grey Offbeat Collection (it's on sale too!) and a jillibean soup journaling spot.

That's it for today! I'm off to work.

who's party is it?

These pictures crack me up! This was my nephews 1st birthday and while I *think* my kids gave him a chance to blow out the candles on his own, it sure doesn't look like it! LOL I went pretty simple on this one. SU white cardstock and pattern paper, Making Memories letters (brown), AC thickers (orange), su scallop punch and martha butterfly punch and a Basic Grey button.

hope it's a great Firday!

happy

Who is loving the Cosmo Cricket stuff lately! I know I am. This one uses the Girl Friday collection and I just picked up the Early Bird collection so expect some stuff from it very soon!
These are some before preschool photos from 3 years ago. They were so little and cute! Man do these kids ever grow up fast. I was on a scrappin roll the other day so I have at least 5 more days of new stuff to show ya! I'm always torn to whether I should post it all at once or spread it out. I may change my mind and give you a big chunk of layouts at once...you never know!

fun & sun

Doesn't this look like fun? I totally think so. I played around with a Got Sketch? sketch for this one. Really great sketches on their site if you haven't checked them out go do it! You will be inspired for sure. I was on a scrappin roll yesterday so I have a lot to show you just as soon as I get them photographed. I think I have almost completed the year 2006 as well. Just a few x-mas photos to scrap and it will be in the books! Can't tell you how great that feels. As I was looking at my books contemplating that giant feat I realized that while I have actually scrapped quite a few pages for 2008, 2007 is sorely misrepresented! So I think I'll check out the 2007 photos and see waht I can add. Not sure if I just don't have that many pictures or I'm just not inspired by them. Weird though!

soak

Some fun in the water fountains on Pearl St last year. I used some American Crafts Craft Fair for this one, a little Flair and of course some Thickers! All products are available at Embellish-Online. You can use the code glitter for20% off your order! Tell Barb I sent ya.

cute

These are some of the first pictures I took when I got my new camera last year. She is such a cutie! I know I'm a little biased but still..... I busted out the SU! supplies for this one. The summer paper from last year. I just love the blue/red combo and it worked so well with my black and white photos. I used my favorite basic grey buttons , several different punches and of course some thickers.

I hope your summer is off to a great start!

sketches

I decided I'd work with some sketches this week. I go back and forth using sketches. Sometimes I can whip up a page from a sketch in no time at all and other times I just can't make them work! This week I decided to use some sketches and do 2 different pages with each one...one of my son and one of my daughter. I used the latest Pencillines sketch for this one. I got 2 pages done in a relatively short amount of time.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
