Our family

Just a quick layout with some family pictures we took back in December.  I know...I can't believe I got one done from December when I am still working on layouts for 3 years ago.  I have no rhyme or reason on what I scrap....just whatever mood strikes me.

For this layout I used mainly paper out of my stash. Most of it is either CTMH or Stampin UP.  I also used a variety  of stamps. I don't know why I just like using stamps on my layouts!  They too are CTMH and Stampin Up.  Also a few sets from Verve.  I did use a sketch for this, but I can't find the one I used.  Once I do I will provide where it came from!

Birthday Layout

Hello hello!  I have another layout to share today!  My youngest is turning 9 this month and I just did her  6th birthday layout!  Yep, I might be behind just a bit!  Oh, well.  I am slowly getting there.

I used mostly scraps for this layout.  I am not sure which paper packs they come from, but I do know the paper is from both CTMH and Stampin up!.  The date stamp set is from Verve...sets Calendar countdown and Remember this. Love those sets.  I have been using them a lot for my version of my project life as well.  The label cut out is with the date on it is from My Favorite Things.  Yes I am a Die cutting junking!  I love Die-namics from MFT,  cut above dies from Verve, frameabilities from Stampin Up and of course Nestabilities.  You will pretty much find some kind of cut out all every single one of my layouts or cards!

Valentine's Day 2009

Good morning!  Another Beautiful day here in Virginia.  Though I will say I am hoping that if it is going to rain it rains today.  The rest of the we have some plans that involve being outside.  So we shall see.  You never know what it is going to do when it says there is a 40% chance of rain.  Oh well, whatcha gonna do. 

I do have a layout to share today.  I have been working on some older photos and events that haven't been "scrapbooked".  This is one...Valentine's Day 2009. Yep...I know...that is just sad.  But I scrapbook as the mood strikes me.  I don't necessarily scrapbook in chronological order but do put my layouts in my albums chronologically.  Right now I am also working on a few layouts with events from this year. So like I said it just depends on what my mood is. 

So this is a layout of of Valentine's 2009.  In this year Valentine's Day fell on Saturday.  Sadly that was my Saturday to work in the office so I worked all day.  But I came home to dinner, flowers and a few gifts.  My hubby had made me shrimp scampi and salad for dinner.  The girls got me a few gifts...and hubby got me some flowers.  It was a fabulous end to my Valentine's Day!

The entire layout was made from my "scrap" stash.  I know the papers are from CTMH, but not sure of the name.

Anniversary

Hello all.  Hope you are enjoying your summer.  We have had a great first few weeks to our summer.  Our first week we headed to Pennsylvania to visit family!  It was fun visiting with my mom and dad, sister and brother and friends.  I will share some of those pictures later.

Today I have a layout to share that I worked on at the weekend retreat I went to in May.  I didn't realize I didn't share any so thought I better get to it.

Our 5 year anniversary was in April.  We wen to dinner at the Outback Steak House.  Then had a relaxing evening with the girls.  Also shared picture of my new laptop I got for our anniversary and one of the gifts that Shawn got that was those tire cover things in the picture. not sure what they are but...took a picture of them anyway.  

Thanks for stopping by!   Have a good one! 

Fall

Good morning. Hope you are all having a great Sunday!  We started out great!  Hubby and I got to sleep in. Yep...I love Saturday and Sunday mornings.  Homemade Stromboli for lunch.  It was delish!  I make so much that I had enough left for 4 left over strombolis.  It is what hubby will be eating for the next few days for lunch.  

I did some scrapbooking last night.  I am just slowing catching up on photos I come across that haven't been scrapped.  This layout is using the sketch from this weeks sketch challenge over at Nuts About Sketches.  I usually always end up changing the size of the photos from the sketch...but still try to follow most of the sketch. Just gives me a good blueprint especially when I feel like scrapping but have no mojo to figure out how the layout should go.  

The pictures in the layout were taken in 2009 at the Fall Festival in Largo, Fl.   I took Madison and we went with our neighbors Michelle and her daughter Ave (in photo).  Madison is older than Ava but she always loved playing and hanging out with her.
