Love Blooms

I'm getting caught up on my Got sketch layouts, this is Sketch #7, only one left to complete. I"m loving the double pagers since I take tons of photos at events and never have room in my designs to include them all. This was of my sister in laws wedding last year.






Supplies: PP and chipboard Scenic Rounte Sonoma, EK Success and Martha Stewart punches, Kaiser pearls, Pebbles brad, Prima flowers, Jillibean soup and SEI stickers, misc sequins

Back to School Celebration

I took a ton of 1st day of school photos since I took part of the day off to attend the half day with my son. My friend pointed me out to this blog with the cool idea of having a back to school dinner party, check it out for free printables. But our evenings are so hectic and we usually eat at grandma's house so I decided to celebrate with Back to School Breakfast style...hoping I remember to carry on this tradition next year because my daughter's surprise and excitement that morning made it all worth while. The kids woke up to find their very own rice crispie cake with flags showing their grades on a confettie decorated dining table. Mine didn't turn out as pretty but it's just the little extra things that make it exciting for kids.

Happy News!

I've got some exciting news to share!

9 plus 5

Just celebrated our 9 year anniversary and Micah's 5th birthday. So much to be thankful for, my partner and friend who's always there when needed.

My son, the middle child, the one that always makes people laugh with his crazy cheerful banter. He waves hi to every stranger he passes, he twirls a tuff of his hair when tired so that it sticks up all day, and he loves fighting ninja style. A few weeks ago when we were walking out of Walmart, my 6 year old daughter asks me who are all those kids on the posters? I told her it's the missing children that were taken by strangers and they are posting it up so if we see someone, we can contact the police so they can be returned to their families. I didn't even realize Micah was listening until one night at bedtime, he said his prayers and then added, "I pray for all the kids that are steal." I was confused...I asked him, what do you mean the kids that are steal? and he says..you know the kids at Walmart that are steal. Awww, that warms my heart he thought of them in his prayers.

Got Sketch

Just a few recent layouts. The first one is based on Got Sketch sketches. Made a few more pages for my cousin's baby, only 5 or 6 photos left before her album is complete! Yay! This one was fun digging out my old scraps and combining different colors.

Echo Park's halloween kit from last year - I've finally had a chance to play with it and it's still like hot fresh off the press new.
And this card was based off a friend's sketch - the flowers are a combination of jillibean soup and recollections

For Andrew

I have sad news, September was my last month designing for TSR. It was a wonderful 2 years and it was a joy to work with the other baristas on the team. The members on the MB make it a great place to be and I couldn't have created the dozens of great pages without those amazing kits.

On the bright side, It came at a good time. I've been busy gearing up for my son's 5th birthday party this coming weekend and it has been so nice to focus on it without worring about meeting deadlines. I'm also getting caught up on the album for Andrew. It was supposed to be a gift for his 1st birthday so I started back in March and worked on it a little here and there but now I can focus on completing it before he turns two! :)
