________ Pics from 2003!

Here's a layout I completed last night, using pictures from 2003! I was 7 months pregnant with Jacob!

All products are CTMH:
Papers: It's a Guy Thing paper pack
Stamps: Whimsy Caps & Little Builder
Inks: Barn Red, Cocoa, Desert Sand & Olive
Marker: Barn Red
Pewter Paper Clips (an old Connections Club Rewad)
Striped Ribbon from The Designer Ribbon Cocoa Collection

Both pages are layout designs from the CTMH book Reflections. Left side is page 35, "Bottom Border - Title" - I changed it a bit to fit my photos. Right side is page 71 "Front & Center - Focal" - again I changed it a bit to fit my photos. I guess I was really determined to get these photos scrapped while using these specific layouts for a challenge! ;-)

2 scrapbook layouts!

These are 2 layouts that I did using a layout sketch from the Close To My Heart "Imagine" book, pages 90-91, "Personality Pressence". The Pantheon one is one I did last year & the July 4th 2003 is one I did yesterday.

06/23/09 Julia cutie!

Just a few phone pics i snapped at bath time the other day!

1st time with TWO piggies! They looked like horns to me! But were much cuter when dried!

06/14/09 Yummy Crepes

We used to make crepes for dinner (and dessert) all the time before we moved. Well we moved almost 3 years ago and Ken decided it was time to break out the big griddle again! Here's the one dessert we made and we all shared it!

06/10/09 Sam's Graduation

June 10, 2009 - We drove to SLC for the afternoon & evening to attend Sam's graduation. Julia started out being pretty good but was a monster by the end of the super boring ceremonies.

Somehow graduates were sneaking in beach balls and bouncing them among themselves. It was great until the grownups ruined all the fun. This guy got "booooo"-ed when he took the ball away, LOL

NICE SAVE! LMAO

Sam walking

Sam & Parker - where did Sean disappear to?

Sam with his parents

Ken & Sam

Ken & me and our kids with Sam. I messed up my camera and the flash wouldn't open. Finally got it figured out after we took a bunch of pics anyway. So Andrew is a blur - he's just FAST! LOL

Sean came back! So we took a pic of him by himself in case we decided to photoshop him in later. By then I had figured out what I had done to my camera, woohoo for flash!

Dinner at Applebees!

My funny little Jacob!

A few random cards...

Here are a few cards I have made lately...

These are made with all CTMH products. The papers are from the Bella paper pack.

Here is a graduation card I made to match the graduation announcement. I used about 8 different stamp sets for the random stamping. All products CTMH - blue CS is Star Spangled Blue.

Mother's Day card, all products CTMH except stickles...

Cupcake Birthday cards I made for a swap. Stupid blogger making my pic sideways AGAIN. Sorry, I guess you'll just have to tilt your head for this one, LOL These are made with CTMH CS, ink and HB stamp, but the pp and chipboard are from DCWV

The other card I did for the card swap. Stamps & ink are CTMH. CS is all CTMH in Sweet Leaf, Outdoor Denim & White Daisy. PP is from BasicGrey.

05/23/09 Murray Park

A day at the park with cousins! Well, my kids and 2 of their cousins, that is... Becca brought Landin and Kyla to the park so we could spend some time with them.

Julia LOVES the slide. Check out her hair, hahaha
