Small paint can I altered for my nsss Jewel.

2010-01-03T20:49:00.002-05:00

This started out as a plain green clipboard that I bought at WM on clearance for 50 cents.

Ds shaving cream skating at preschool. Lots of slippery fun!

Two layouts of the exact same thing- Christmas 2008. One layout for my daughters album and one for my son's album.

My Little Monster

2010-01-03T20:13:00.003-05:00

It's been awhile since I have updated my blog. Life had gotten in the way, but hopefully, things have calmed down a little bit. I love these pics of him!

Ds was eating bugles one day and figured out that he could put them on the tips of his fingers. Then he ran all around the house pretending to be a monster!

Hammy

2009-07-14T23:06:00.002-04:00

My daughter named her first hamster Hammy. She also called him Hamlet, Snickers and Hamburglar among other nicknames. He was a hamster of many names.

Snakes

2009-07-14T23:04:00.001-04:00

On our visit to the zoo, my daughter got to pet a snake. The other picture is of a HUGE snake that was behind glass, (thank goodness)!

Zoey's pj's

2009-07-14T23:02:00.002-04:00

We dressed up our dog Zoey in my son's Bob the Builder pajamas one day. You can tell by the look on her face that they definitely aren't her style.

A layout of our dog Zoey after a "haircut".

This is a layout of my son. I don't use black and white photos very often, so this was a real challenge for me, but I do like the way it turned out. The paper is from DCWV Stack 6.

Two Altered Composition Books

2009-04-11T18:43:00.002-04:00

Two more altered composition notebooks. I made a total of four (two of each kind). Two for my coworkers and two for our high school interns at work. The red and black one has red bling and clear skittles. The orange one has stickles and yellow skittles.

Young's Dairy

2009-04-11T18:42:00.001-04:00

This is a layout of our visit to Young's Dairy in the Summer of 2006.

Mow Guck Layout

2009-04-11T18:40:00.001-04:00

I made this layout for my son's album. For some reason, he always called my dad's John Deere a "Mow Guck". He gets so excited when he gets to ride on it and runs around yelling, "Mow Guck!".

Altered Prima Tins

2009-04-11T18:37:00.001-04:00

I made these for 2 of my coworkers.

Altered Composition Book for my Daughter

2009-04-11T18:33:00.002-04:00

I made this for my daughter.

Hammy

2009-03-30T21:52:00.003-04:00

This was my daughter's first hamster. She named him Hammy and took him everywhere with her around the house. Hammy loved to lay on his back and sleep while someone would hold him. If he wasn't laying on his back asleep, he would lay on his back and clean as long as someone would hold him.

The Napping Chair

2009-03-30T21:48:00.002-04:00

My son used to love to grab a warm blanket and crawl up into my grandma's old rocking chair that was in his room to take a nap.

10 Things I Love About You (Son's Album)

2009-03-30T21:46:00.002-04:00

A layout listing 10 things I love about my daughter.

Birthday Number 9

2009-03-30T21:39:00.005-04:00

This layout uses pictures from my daughter's 9th birthday party. The theme was a spa/dress up party.

Heartbreaker

2009-03-01T18:54:00.003-05:00

My son's preschool teacher took this picture of him while he was at preschool. When he brought it home one day, it almost made me cry. I took it and had it blown up in several sizes. I have to say, this is one of the most favorite layouts of mine that I have ever made. It still brings tears to my eyes when I look at it.

Feb. package from my nsss, Mel

2009-03-01T18:48:00.006-05:00

Here is my February package from my nsss (not to secret sister, for those that don't know), Mel. She really spoils me! Thank you again Mel!

Sweet Success

2009-02-02T15:27:00.001-05:00

Whenever I go shopping, I come home and put the groceries away. My dog, Zoey, always sniffs the bags looking for dog treats. She always drags them out of the bag and tries to open them instead of waiting on me. This time, she had "sweet success"!

Switch

2009-02-01T21:06:00.003-05:00

My son and daughter decided to switch clothes and wear each others to see what they would look like. It was really funny and I was suprised that my daughter could fit into my sons clothes!

Sing!

2009-01-25T19:20:00.001-05:00

These pictures are from my daughter's 2nd grade music program.

Pirate on Parade

2009-01-20T21:19:00.002-05:00

For the school's fall party, the kids got to dress up in costumes and walk in a "parade" downtown. My daughter chose to be a pirate.

Squeaky Clean

2009-01-20T21:11:00.003-05:00

My son has always loved bathtime and will stay in the water to play as long as I will let him!

Ohio Caverns (Son's Album)

2009-01-11T21:34:00.002-05:00

This was my son's first trip to Ohio Caverns.

Pray (Son's Album)

2009-01-11T21:29:00.004-05:00

When my son gets mad and throws a tantrum, he sometimes folds his hands like he is praying. It is so funny!

Pumpkin Cleaning (Son's Album)

2009-01-10T23:47:00.004-05:00

Here is my son and daughter cleaning out the inside of their pumpkins. They were trying to get the seeds out to bake them. My son was scared of the inside of the pumpkin so I put some "slime" on his hand to show him that it was ok. After that, he stuck his hands in, but was never too thrilled about it as you can tell by the look on his face in the pictures.

Chuck E Cheese's (Son's album)

2009-01-10T13:30:00.004-05:00

My son loves to go to Chuck E. Cheese's and this is a layout of one of our visits.

Ohio Caverns

2009-01-08T15:17:00.004-05:00

This is a layout of my daughter at Ohio Caverns in 2006.

Chuck E Cheese

2009-01-05T21:16:00.002-05:00

This layout is for my daughter's album. I took her and my son to Chuck E Cheese and they had such a great time. The closest one is almost an hour away from our house so we don't get to go very often, but when we do, they always have so much fun!

Play (Daughter's Layout)

2009-01-04T17:53:00.003-05:00

Here's my daughter's layout for when we went to the playground. Her and her brother had so much fun!

Play (Son's Layout)

2009-01-04T00:10:00.006-05:00

I took these pictures while the kids were playing at the playground during the summer of 2007. The playground is one of the biggest I have seen. There is so much to do and they *LOVE* to go there!

You can't tell in the picture, but the circles are stuck down with pop dots and stick up off of the page and "Play" is glittered.

2 New Stacks at J's ~ I LOVE These and HAD to Buy Them!!!

Project 365 Challenge

2009-01-01T21:38:00.006-05:00

So, I have made up my mind and am going to *try* to participate in the 365 Project challenge from start to finish. For those of you who don't know what this is, basically, you take a picture a day of anything you want, for 365 days and scrap them. You can make 365 layouts (one for each picture), a weekly, or a monthly layout. The choice is up to you. I will most likely be doing daily and weekly layouts. I took my first picture of the New Year last night at 12:01 am of my 2 kids to start off my album in the right direction. I still need to get them developed though. I think this is going to be a fun but very challenging project. I may give this album to my parents as a gift when I am finished. I think they would *love* it!

Also, before I forget...Creative Keepsakes is also selling a kit that include everything (well, almost everything) to get you started. The kits are sold out right now, but more are supposed to be on the way. I personally didn't buy one since I have enough scrapping things in my stash to start my own scrapbook store, lol, but I think that it would be a great buy! If you are interested, here is the link:

http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/

And....here is the link to a very sweet lady's blog. She is offering the chance to win this kit for free! Please check it out and leave her a comment or 2!

Poor Me

2009-01-01T19:48:00.004-05:00

Here is my son with his "I didn't get what I wanted! Oh, poor me!" face. Doesn't it just break your heart, lol?

Adorable

2009-01-01T14:57:00.002-05:00

I love this picture of my son. I based the colors for this layout on the shirt he is wearing. It has a red clam on it so I used the sea theme also.

Dandelion Seeds

2009-01-01T11:20:00.003-05:00

Here is my son in our back yard blowing dandelion seeds. I just love these pictures of him! Once I showed him how the seeds would float away if you blew on them, he ran to each one, picked it and blew the seeds as fast as he could. It was so funny to watch him. I especially love his lips in the middle picture.

Cards for Card Swap

2009-01-01T11:18:00.004-05:00

Here are 2 cards I made for a card swap that I am in. The first card had to contain black and bling and the second one contains scarlet and scallops.

Christmas 2005

2009-01-01T10:51:00.002-05:00

Just a simple layout of my daughter at Christmas time, 2005.

Upside Down

2008-12-28T20:52:00.001-05:00

Here is my son standing on his head on the couch. He loves to do that and giggle, giggle, giggle.

Poop Loops

2008-12-28T20:48:00.002-05:00

My son loves to eat dry Fruit Loops cereal but can't say Fruit. He always pronounces it "poop". Whenever he asks for Fruit Loops, he always asks for Poop Loops. I did the layout but my mom had the idea to have him reaching for some Fruit Loops that we put in a CLEAN diaper, lol. I think it turned out cute! There's another story for his future wife, lol. You can't see it in the picture, but I stickled all of the purple circles and also the lettering in the layout. I also lightly stickled the green Prima flower and added some bling to the center of it.

Only You

2008-12-28T20:46:00.002-05:00

I love this picture of my daughter. She is so beautiful!

Another one of my first layouts

2008-12-28T20:44:00.001-05:00

Another one of my first layouts. No cricut yet, but you gotta love acrylic paints, lol!

Laughter

2008-12-28T20:42:00.001-05:00

I love these pictures of my daughter smiling and laughing. She is even missing a couple of her teeth and other ones have started to grow in. I think that makes it even cuter.

Pullups

2008-12-28T20:35:00.004-05:00

This is a layout of my son when he first started wearing pullups. There is a really funny story that I journaled about the pictures on this layout. A story that I am sure he will never want his future wife to hear, lol.

Going Undercover

2008-12-28T20:32:00.002-05:00

My son has a thing for wearing things on his head. He's used bowls, clothing, different hats and all kinds of other things.

Cornered

2008-12-28T20:28:00.002-05:00

Here is my son in time out and standing in the corner. You would have thought I had done something extremaly cruel to him the way he was crying over it. It really did break my heart. I guess the saying that my parents always used to tell me is true. They used to tell me, "This hurts me more than it does you". I believe they were right, lol.

Dandelions for Dinner

2008-12-28T20:25:00.002-05:00

I usually use lots more embellies on my layouts but wanted to do something simple with clean lines. I really like how this turned out and may do these kinds of layouts a little more often.

Flip

2008-12-28T20:23:00.002-05:00

I caught my daughter outside doing flips and got a picture of it before she knew it.

Another one of my first layouts

2008-12-28T20:20:00.002-05:00

Another one of my first layouts. I made the little cars at the bottom using a stamp and acrylic paint. Thank goodness I eventually got a cricut, lol.

Learning to Skate

2008-12-28T20:19:00.001-05:00

This is my daughter's first time on skates.

Determination

2008-12-28T20:16:00.002-05:00

Here is a layout of my son trying to take his socks off. He was only3 and it took him awhile to wrestle them off. It was so funny watching him!

Christmas 2007

2008-12-28T20:14:00.001-05:00

This layout has pictures from Christmas 2007.

Another one of my first layouts

2008-12-28T20:12:00.001-05:00

One of my first layouts.

Elephant Nose

2008-12-28T20:10:00.002-05:00

For awhile, my son had to be on breathing treatments every few hours. He used to hate doing it until I started calling it his elephant nose. After that, he couldn't wait to wear his elephant nose while getting his treatment.

Cherish (son's album)

2008-12-28T20:08:00.003-05:00

This is a layout for my son's album. I really like this one.

Cherish (Layout for daughter's album)

2008-12-28T20:02:00.003-05:00

This is one of the first layouts I did. I used acrylic paints because I didn't have my Cricut yet.

My Daughter's First Haircut

2008-12-28T19:57:00.005-05:00

This is a layout of my daughter's first haricut. She was 2 years old before I had to get her one. She was born with tons of hair and eventually it all thinned out and she was almost completely bald for awhile. You can see in the pictures that she still didn't have a lot of hair on the sides. Now at 10 years old, she has lots of beautiful hair.

Broken Arm

2008-12-28T19:52:00.004-05:00

This is a layout of my daughter when she broke her arm. She fell off of the balance beam at school and broke her arm and wrist in 3 places. I took 2 pictures. One of her with her broken arm and one of the balance beam just for this layout. You can't really tell, but the letters are stickled in red, the flower is chipboard and the journaling box is layered with pop dots.

Hugs and Kee-ses

2008-12-28T19:35:00.002-05:00

I made this layout of my son and daughter giving each other a kiss. Whenever my son says, "I want a kiss", he pronounces it "kees" like "keys". You can't see it in this picture, but the letters have been stickled. I really like how this layout turned out.

New

2008-12-24T00:38:00.001-05:00

I'm new to the blogging world and am just figuring this out. I'll be adding pics over Christmas break so stay tuned.
