I AM CAUGHT UP!!!!

Whewwww....what a week! I began my count starting Thanksgiving week which made me 6 pages behind. Here is my 6th PAGE!!! So I am all caught up to you girls! YeAH! I still have to do one for this week but this is my last catch up page. TOO FUN! Sorry to hog the craft blog. :)

I had to scrapbook this picture because it is one of the only good ones I have of my kids together...it's tough at their ages to get those. :)

Merry Christmas SoyBoy

A new post for me! And it is not from Europe wahoo! (For those of you keep track, I did finish my album, 20 pages total, and gave it to E for christmas. He loved it and I am glad to be done!) These were a few shots from Heather taking some pics for us at Christmas, he was just so dang cute! Awe!

Preschool Girl...

Okay, here is one of Morgan on her first day of Preschool. She was stoked! Super cute! This page took forever but I really like it. Somewhat simple but sweet.

I am on a roll!!

Okay girls, 4 down 2 more to go and I will be all caught up to you girls! Whewww....

As for this page...I LOVE IT!! I have had these pictures forever and wanted to scrap them but every time I tried I hated the page...so I got on Shabby Princess and got the Our Little Prince kit last night and now I LOVE IT!!! Finally...

One of Jake...

I am in a scrapbooking zone! Usually I do well to get one page a week that I like, but I am so excited about all 3 I have so far!!! YEAH!

This is of Jake (obviously)! Ahhh....isn't he handsome!!! Love this page!

Here's another...

I have been working on this page for the last month!!! It was already to go but I just couldn't figure out my journaling. I am really pleased with how it turned out this time. I have only written and re-written it about 20 times! Okay, on to the next one...

maybe one of Jake next...

Okay...I am back on board!!!

Now that I am done with Holiday stuff I am on a mad dash to catch up!!! With this one I figure I have 5 more to go...so be ready for more! I have a few in the pipeline... :)

As for this page...it is of my sister's wedding. She was a TOTAL bridezilla so we tried to stay away from her and just took a bunch of pictures in our hideout room. :) Enjoy!

2 more for me!!!

Hi girls, Here is my last 2 weeks scrapbook pages. (I know I owe one for this week too, give me time...) Anyhow, this is Sophie at Gardner's villiage. And Addie at her 4th birthday. (this page is from an album, so no creativity here...) Anyhow, I feel like I am rather up to date on scrapbooking. I know I have TONS to do still, but all my girls (including Sophie) have lots of pages. Keep it up!

More pages for me...

Here's the latest to my album, I've been working on them for the last two weeks...Let's see more scrappy pages girls!

My first attempt

This was my first attempt at digital scrapbooking. I know it is SUPER simple but I was happy with the result. Thanks Rach for teaching me!!! And thanks again Jill for the pictuers!!!

scrappy pages 1 and 2

Okay, so I'm still pretty new at this scrappy thing, I'm trying to get more into it but here's a couple of pages I did this week, I know they're super plain but I don't have very many kits so I'm kind of boring.

Okay, so I'm a day late....which is better than I can
say for some of you!!!!!!!! C'mon ladies, you better
make up for it this week!

Alright girls, here is mine!!! do you love it??? Charity rules for inventing it. I took a close up so you can see the 3-D effect. Plus, this was a super cheap project for what you get. We paid $20 each and that includes the $6 in prints. It was easy (so long as you have charity to work the scary man tools). Hope you like it, I can't wait to hang it.

MY FIRST!!

Not that I am too proud of this, but I did learn a lot, and I am collecting kits now. I wanted to get this done for Garen's bday. Megan will tell you that I worked on it for WEEKS, and not without a lot of frustration. Thanks to Meg and Fifi and Charity for all your HELP!

Sorry, I didn't crop off the duplicates!

Well, you've all seen this picture before, but since I loved
it so much, I decided to decoupage it onto a frame. It's kind
of hard to tell, but the picture is actually 3D. I printed 2 pictures,
and count out the center of one and glued it to the other (if that
makes any sense). Anyway,it was a super fun project. Since
Heather is storing our table saw, I made her do one too.
I think she'll post hers also! (We made the frames ourselves)!

DONE!

So last week was super busy, I have been working on this for like 3 days I know it's super simple but I want to follow the same type of layout for all 12 months that I am doing so here it is!

Page #9

This is just some miscellaneous pics from the trip that weren't part of any day, but I still wanted to include them.

Gramma Jill's Playroom

I just finished the mural of the beach on my grandkids playroom. First try at anything like this!?!

Here is the finished product of the clock
page that I printed! The frame is from IKEA,
the clock parts are from Roberts. My friend
did the vinyl lettering for me! Super easy to make!

Fall

I finally got my page for the week done! Hooray!

Page #8

Here is part 8. I am really hoping to finish this album at least by Christmas, possibly even Ernesto's birthday, but not likely! This was Easter Sunday in England. We went to church, which was so great, they had the funniest testimonies...like they were trying to be funny. But it was a great experience, the church in a totally different place. Then we had Easter dinner, and grandma didn't have enough chairs so she sat on her bathing chair!! It was so sick, but quite a classic story. Then we drove around where my dad grew up, seeing his school, an old home, Grays Beach, which is hardly a beach...anyway it was a great day.

Ernesto and I LOVED our trip, that is why I am making such a detailed album, I am trying to recall all of our stories so we can reflect on the great vacation!

Halloween 2

This page is pretty basic, it goes with my other halloween page, but I have more journaling about the girls and costume selection...(goth tinkerbell). This scrapbooking challange and blog is fun! Lots of you owe a page for this week...

"4 the Record"

Okay, so I finally opened a gmail account and this is my
first post ever. This is last weeks page, so I still need to
do mine for this week! Hope this works!

Old Fashioned:)

ok, so you know when you grow up with something so your totally biased in thinking it's cute?? well, these are the same stockings my mom made for all of us kids....only hers were in 1970's fabircs:) no offense mom:) I'm sure I could find some cuter stockings if I just bought them at the store, but I guess I'm old fashioned and these bring back memories of Christmas' past.
So here's my latest project... Olivia's stocking:) p.s. don't look close because i am nowhere near the perfectionist that my mom is and there are LOTS of mistakes, but oh well it's done!

Ernesto's and My Craft

This is a craft project Ernesto and I worked on. It took about an hour and a bad back to create...but honestly I was the one who finished the project...it took months. It's the cutest project we've ever done, so I thought it was worthy of a post!

One big Comment

I am related to some talented crafty crafty girls! I was going to comment on each post and then I decided to make my post my comment. It was easier! :)

You gals are so awesome at your digiscrapping (I think I just made that word up). Or is it escrapping? Anywho-- love all of them. There are tons of cute pages (even the newbies) and some stinkin cute pictures of your kids.

I am going to keep up with the posts, so then I can make more detailed comments.

Great idea on the blog!

Lincoln Castle and Cathedral

This is page 7 in my series, sorry you guys will get really sick of these! This is at Lincoln Cathedral and Castle in England. They filmed a lot of DaVinci Code in the cathedral so that was pretty cool. My cousin Scott lives in Lincoln, we got together there with his brothers and it was a great little family reunion!

Kennedy in July

This is my first attempt in years! Now I just have to print it!

Halloween

My first posts to the crafty girls blog...fantastic idea Rachel. Here is my page for the week... and the Sophie one I did a couple months ago, but I don't think anyone saw it. Now I need to go look at our blog and make comments, this is going to be fun!

My first posting-Yeah!

I had a lot of fun using these pictures I took at Rock Canyon Park.

The page's are pretty simple, but I finished them!

Peter Rabbit

This one is Peter Rabbit, you know me & bunnies!

Baby boy fire truck quilt

Well you know me & my rag quilts!

This is a cute fire truck!

Megan's Scrappy Page for the Week

This page 6 of an England and Scotland Album. Unfortunately since I am trying to finish this book, a lot of my entries will look very similar!

Welcome!

Welcome to the brand new craft blog! I have set this up so that we can share all of our fun crafts with each other. For those of you who don't go to craft night, because you are lazy or have more "important" things to do, this is a good way for you to catch up and still be "in" with us cool craters! I don't have any rules for this blog just to be nice and please people make comments, if you see a post then take 2 min and say something about it. We all like to hear how cute our stuff is, we don't want to make anyone feel sad! So girls get posting put up scrap pages, pictures of Halloween pillows, quilts anything!
