Beach Hats with Killian and Gwyneth

I can't believe it has been a couple of weeks since i last posted.

I have had these 3 photos printed at least that long.

I am so excited to create with this LO sketch, it was super fun.

A bit about this page:

(My son or daughter in law will be journaled once they receive this page for their book)

My twin grandkids were born March 8, a girl and a boy!

Their mom wanted to make sure that they were protected when they went to the beach,
so she purchased some hats and long sleeve swim suits that will protect their skin.

In this layout she has taken photos of their hats.

I left room under the photos to write with a white pen.

I had no idea that babies under 6 months couldn't use sunscreen.

Of course, i didn't have that concern when i was younger with my children, 

because i seldom went to the beach with babies.

i tend to love the shade or air conditioning.

My second challenge is to use digital paper. I have a ton of 12 x12 paper, 

which i use as the background, but i thought it would be special

 if my grandkids had some paper i designed on their pages.

I hand cut the banner tails, used a fiskars border punch and created the title with my cricut.

Paper i used: 

Crate background stripe

Welcome to the Family, Baby Killian

The May challenges have begun and i have been inspired to create already!

This month's challenge i chose to do is based on Saturday Morning Cartoons

This challenge theme is one of my daughter's favorite cartoons, Rainbow Brite!

When i look at Killian i can see my son when he was a baby.

He is so handsome!

For this Layout i chose pastel rainbow colors.

Also, my daughter-in-law calls her twins, Rainbow Babies.

She had 3 miscarriages and then had her miracle Rainbow Babies.

Welcome Baby Gywneth to our family!

I have been so excited to find another scrapbook challenge.

I am hoping that these challenges will get me back on track to making some more pages!

This is an exciting page because my daughter-in-law and son just had twin babies on March 8.

This page is our granddaughter, Gwyneth and i will be doing her brother's page next.

She is a darling little baby!

I am in a bit of a hurry to get this page done because i just found the challenge and it ends today!

Happy 10th Birthday, Sadie!

I haven't been making many pages as you can tell from my last post.

I have created Birthday Autograph pages for my grandchildren Yearly and i will share those soon!

I have also been making other scrapbook pages, but haven't uploaded them to this blog.

I will also update those here as well!

So exciting to say, that my granddaughter, Sadie turned 10 this year.

I saw this wonderful scrapbook layout and thought i would create it quickly this month.

What i didn't realize, is that my last post was for the same challenge that i created this layout for!!

Since i last share here, i have been creating digital paper and selling it on Etsy!

All of the scraps are from my digital papers!

I have left plenty of room for Sadie to journal in the upper right hand corner too!

I also used my cricut to cut out the "Happy Birthday" and the #10

My Besties Bunny Ears- Sadie from 2009-2012

I have been encouraged by my scrapbook group to continue making scrapbook pages, i have fallen far behind.  I have, however, found a way to catch up by sharing a group of photos with the same theme from different years. 

Here is my Layout using a sketch from Stick It Down...it worked perfectly for the pictures i have so far. 
The journaling will be done by my daughter.  I make the pages for my grandkids and then my daughter will journal when she has taken the pictures.

I love how this turned out:

Stick it Down- Sketch for March

It's your 3rd Birthday, Emmett

Emmett today is your actual birthday, but our family celebration is tomorrow.  So Grandma and Grandpa wanted to make your actual day special and took you to Chuck E. Cheese..one of your favorite places!  You also love the part close by, but today was too warm.

A special thing about this LO, normally there isn't anything (other than candy) that's great to re-deem with your tickets.  Today, however, i got a little clever and choose a paper puzzle.. Emmett would totally destroy this in minutes..and i would bet most kids would..it's cheap cardboard.  I looked at that puzzle differently, and chose it for this LO..don't worry, Emmett still got 3 rolls of Sweet tarts. :)  I also saved 3 tickets and we always have left over tokens.. I thought they all worked out great in a LO for embellishments.  One more thing i did, as we walked into Chuck E. Cheese and got our hand stamped..i mentioned it was Emmett's birthday and we got a free sticker with his name on it that he wore while we were there!  Cool, huh?

Emmett's 3rd Birthday Autograph page - Mario Kart

My youngest grandson, Emmett, turns 3 this year and i made his Autograph page/LO.  I have been doing this for all of my grand kids..since they were born.  Not really sure about the twins and when i started, but early for sure.  This is also the 3rd year i've made one for Emmett. 

His birthday theme is Mario Kart.  I know that his mom bought decorations online and we are going to construct a cake using the Mario Kart K'nex vehicle and some Super Mario figures. 

So i found a clip art on line and cut it out by hand and added some "OLD" scrapbook paper to frame and accent it with. I used my cricut to cut out the Happy Birthday and the #3.  My trick for the number three was to put the "shadow" 3 inside of circle and then cut the basic #3 out of red..so that way i didn't have to cut out the white because that was my background paper for my LO, and it gives me an "extra" #3 for the next page i am making. :)

I am thinking we will have a fun birthday party..
