You at 4 Months

So, I've been DYING to get my hands on the Echo Park, Little Boy line. Just my style. Fun, bright colors. I love EP. Love them. They pretty much can't go wrong in my book. :)

So, Monday, it was a holiday, and I used it as an excuse to go to my local scrapbooking store that I love (in UT, there is pretty much one on every corner) without children. Talk about bliss. :) Grabbed some EP, and was on my way. I just got around to using it. Here's what I came up with:

I kind of used the idea for this one from a previous layout I did of my daughter a few years ago with her 8 month photo. Here's that layout:

I can't wait to do another layout with these papers. They are so fun. Maybe I should have bought more.....

Me, Myself, and I

I've said it before, but I'm learning how to scrap for little boys. It's sooo hard for me not to use flowers, and bling, and girly papers. I just love them so much. But, I'm learning how to scrap for a boy in a way that I love.





This layout was so fun. Mainly because I love these pictures! My son when he was just 6 months old sat in front of the mirror for about 20 minutes just pointing, laughing, and talking to himself. It was precious. I was cracked up by how amused he was at himself. Thanks for stopping by!

So Happy to have YOU

Happy Sunday Scrappers!

I've had a good weekend so far. But, something was missing. My Sunday afternoon nap. Well, it just wasn't meant to be. My oldest kicked me out of my own bed because she wanted to nap with Daddy, and I just couldn't fall asleep downstairs in the basement...too cold. So, I decided to scrap instead.

This photo is of my daughter, who was almost 3 in this picture. You should be able to read the journaling (if you can read my writing) in the last picture.

Most of the stuff

here is from the Echo Park, Life is Good line. Hope all of you got some scrapping in over the weekend too!
