My little piece of the world. . .

a Jordan layout . . .

I feel like I haven't done a layout of Jordan in awhile so it was time to pull out some pics and some boy colors.

 

Lucky Me . . .

J took this picture of us on St. Pat's Day last year and I finally got it on a layout :)

 

Party on . . .

Neither of the kids made it til' midnight this year.

 
 

Twirl . . .

It's hard to believe that Hannah actually used to hate wearing dresses . . . now she loves them, along with skirts too ~ a little bit girly girl now :)

Chick sitting . . .

These pictures caught my eye recently. As you can tell, Hannah was SO excited to be chosen to take them home for the weekend!

 

Hi 5 . . .

Jordan and Hannah getting along so well they even high (hi!) 5'd each other! I love seeing them have fun together :)

Halloween . . . the past years

Since it's that time of year again, I pulled out a bunch of old Halloween pics and made a few layouts this weekend. Just goes to show how fast they grow!

Here's some pics from 2006 . . . found the cool chipboard letters at Target.

These pics are from 2007 . . . it was fun to use the non-traditional colors!

San Francisco . . .

One of our 'staycation' destinations this year. We haven't been in a few years so it was nice to spend a family day there!

  

Wedding shower goodies . . .

One of my brother's is getting married on Labor Day weekend and this past Saturday was a co-ed wedding shower for him and his fiance. I decided to make a 12x12 layout using their wedding colors and then framing it nicely - I think it turned out pretty well and they seemed to like it too. I also made a card using my scraps and added a little inking around the edge. And . . . her maid of honor asked us to each bring an 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbook page of a picture with one or both of them in it. I dug through some really old pics and found this one - at first I laughed because we are the same height in this pic (see journaling) but in reality I'm barley over 5' and he is over 6 1/2' - now that would be a picture right! Plus this picture of us was taken in my grandparents backyard . . . TONS of memories there :)

Here's the page outside of the frame.

 

Here it is in the frame - a little dark but I love the chocolate frame!

 

Here's the card.

 

Here's the page for an album they will receive.

 

And the journaling . . .

Fun layouts using Stemma products

A one page layout of the kids playing in the backyard. They just love this little pool which makes me love it too!

 

Here's a two page layout using the same product. I bought this coordinating kit from QVC. They have some products available but doesn't look like they sell this kit anymore . . . does that tell you have long I've had it - lol!
