Young Chef's Academy - September 2008

Haylee took some cooking classes with her friend, Ava. I shot one photo from outside the window on the sidewalk. I loev how you can walk around outside and see your kids cooking in their classes without disturbing them!


I used patterned papers and cardstock stickers from Karen Foster Design, self-adhesive rhinestones from Bead Connection, layered flowers from Prima and Bazzill, and title letters and mat cut from misc. cardstock with my Craft Robo.

Sweet Dreams - September 2008

I can't get over the one photo of Holden hanging backwards over the side of the swing asleep! What is it with my kids and falling asleep just any ol' way?!? I guess I must have a knack for wearing them out or something...

I used the "All Smiles" theme from the November 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit. The chipboard flower and arrow are from Pebbles Chips. I also used vellum paper for computer-printed journaling, trimmed to fit the die cut. The scalloped white circle is cut from white cardstock with my Craft Robo, and the title letter stickers from the kit were outlined with a Zig marker for more definition.

Peace - September 2008

I just love pics of babies sleeping! They have such an air of peace about them. Holden even looks like he's suckling in his sleep...how sweet! I miss those days...

I used patterned paper from Scrapbook Wizard, misc. solid blue cardstock, ric rac from American Crafts, flourishes cut with my Craft Robo using Quick Kutz files on patterned paper from K & Co., self-adhesive rhinestones from Bead Connection, title letters and scalloped circle cut with my Craft Robo, and a white Galaxy Marker by American Crafts. I based the layout on a sketch by PageMaps from Becky Fleck.

Pasta Dreams - September 2008

These are photos of Holden when he fell asleep in his high chair eating his spaghetti! Something about my boys and spaghetti...they always ate it until they dropped! LOL


I used yellow patterned paper from Miss Elizabeth's, sparkles burst brad and dimensional stacked stickers from Karen Foster Design, open-stock spaghetti-print paper, misc. orange cardstock, chalked title letters cut with my Craft Robo, and a Slick Writer marker from American Crafts.

...mmm, good! - September 2008

These are photos of Holden sitting on my lap eating my ice cream cone! He was totally mesmorized, as you can see!

I used patterned paper from Miss Elizabeth's, misc. yellow and green cardstock, vellum paper for computer-printed journaling, dimensional embellishments from K & Co. (I think), and the title letters and mat were cut with my Craft Robo.

Clown School - August 2008

These are photos from the kids' big annual birthday bash from 2008 when Hayden turned 9 and Haylee turned 4. We had a "clown school" theme and ate circus food! They played relays and games under the "big top" in our front yard. It was a lot of fun! I had a lot of photos from the event and lots of guests to include in our memories, so I used the thumbnail photos from the index print to include everyone on the layout.

The patterned papers and die cuts are from the Daisy Hill "Bugs & Flowers" Scrap Kit. I used self-adhesive rhinestones in 3 colors from Bead Connection, vellum paper for computer-printed journaling, self-adhesive foam title letters from Creative Hands, and pop dots.

Baby Love - August 2008

This photo was taken at the homeschool park day at City View Park in August 2008. I laid down a picnic blanket, and Holden and his little girlfriend Kayleigh rolled around on it and hugged and kissed on each other! They were the cutest! We've joked ever since that they are betrothed to one another. It truly was "baby love!"


I used the "Sunkissed" theme from the August 2010 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. The blue and yellow cardstock was cut from Bazzill textured cardstock in the kit. The teal rhinestones were included in the July 2010 kit. The decorative trims were cut with a Fiskars Shape Cutter template and a Fiskars border punch. The flowers were included in the kit. The glittered, scalloped chipboard circle at the bottom is a Pebbles Chip from the white collection. The title letters are Thickers by American Crafts that came in brown craft paper color, and I colored them orange with a Slick Writer marker by American Crafts. I used a PageMaps sketch by Becky Fleck. I think this is my favorite layout that I've ever done! The paper was gorgeous to begin with, but the sketch from PageMaps really brought it all together and gave it balance.

Flag Football Awards - August 2008

These photos were taken at the Flag Football Awards in August 2008 at Woodstock Park.



I used the "Whimsey" theme from the February 2010 StoryTellers Club Ultimate kit. The title and football themed dimensional stickers are from Jolee's Boutique. I wrote the date with a Slick Writer marker from American Crafts.

Four - July 2008

On Haylee's 4th birthday, we met some friends up at Jumpin' Monkey for some inflatable jumping fun! Haylee had a great time with her friends, and she really enjoyed the dress-up room there, too.
I used patterned papers by Scrapbook Wizard and printed computer journaling on vellum. The chipboard accents are all Pebbles Chips in green. The butterfly brads are by Making Memories, and the number 4 is a Thickers by American Crafts, which I colored with a Slick Writer marker by American Crafts. I based the layout on a sketch from the Pages By Design idea book.

Snooze - July 2008

Haylee has always had the uncanny ability to fall asleep just about anywhere. This was no different! I found her sprawled across the tops of two bar stool asleep with her limbs dangling down. I swear, I don't know how she didn't fall! This was definitely a scrapbook-worthy moment!
I used patterned papers mostly by Scrapbook Wizard. I cut the flower paper strip from a larger sheet that had a variety of patterns on it. I added self-adhesive green rhinestones by Bead Connection to each printed flower and the journaling block, and clear ones to the stacked paper flowers, which are by Prima and Imaginesce Perfectly Posh collection. I printed the computer journaling on vellum, and the fabric covered chipboard title letters are Thickers by American Crafts.

Joy - July 2008

My boys have always enjoyed being together. I trimmed their faces from a bunch of photos of them laughing on the sofa together.


I used the "All Smiles" theme from the November 2008 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. I added pop dots to the die cuts and Mirrored Sparkle Burst brads by Karen Foster Design. I used a Slick Writer marker by American Crafts to color the title letters of "joy," which are Thickers by American Crafts. I added a piece of ric rac by American Crafts.

Swing Low - July 2008

This was Hayden's first time going to the annual Bay Electric Picnic. I was pushing Holden and Haylee on the swings, and he totally fell in love with the relaxing movement and surroundings of the park. He slowly leaned to one side and began to close his eyes as he drifted off to sleep for a nice little nap!


I used the "Amazing Moments" theme from the April 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate kit for this layout. I added some miscellaneous blue cardstock for photo mats, and I added some shaped polka-dot ribbon from Lil Davis Designs. I wrote the date and journaling with an American Crafts Slick Writer marker. I used the same brown marker to color the plain Thickers chipboard title letters by American Crafts.

Time for Cows - July 2008

Every year, I take the kids to Chick-Fil-A for their Cow Appreciation Day. We dress up as cows and get free lunch just for the fun of it. This was Holden's first time going. He made an adorable little cow, tail and all! He ran into his little girlfriend there and visited until he fell asleep.

The patterned paper and all the die cuts came from the Colorbok "Earthy Retro" Scrap Pack. I also used a Zig marker.

You - July 2008

These are some cute "on the move" photos of Holden. I miss this stage of just learning to crawl. What a fun age!
I made this layout using the "All About You" theme from the May 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit, an American Crafts Slick Writer Marker, and some self-adhesive rhinestones from Bead Party.

Crazy Eyes - July 2008

This was a fabulous picture of Hayden with a rare genuine smile instead of the fake one he usually puts on for photos, so I had to make sure this went into my album somewhere. The trouble was that Haylee decided to put on her crazy eyes in this photo, thus the inspiration for the title! LOL.


I used some miscellaneous cardstock and patterned paper that my friend gave me. I also used some chipboard arrows and a glittered flourish from the white variety bag of Pebbles Chips. I printed the computer journaling on cardstock strips, and I used chipboard title letters from the Dollar Spot at Target.


My Little Firemen - June 2008

Hayden and Holden have always loved playing together, and here they are playing dress-up together with firemen's hats. Laughter always follows those two in their daily adventures!
I used some misc. red cardstock, red/white checkered patterned paper from Scrapbook Wizard, vellum for computer journaling, and a sheet of "fireman" themed stickers from Karen Foster Design.

Tiny T-Ball Awards - June 2008

I coach homeschool Tiny T-Ball, and Haylee is shown here with me after receiving her award at the end of that season. She was almost 4 years old here and was so proud of her little medal! She used to carry it all over the house with her.

I used the "Lilac Medley" theme from the January 2009 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit with an American Crafts Slick Writer marker to complete this layout.

Tea Party - June 2008

All the ladies at my baby shower for Holden really got along well together, so one of my friends decided to reunite the ladies at a tea party the following spring. Here we were, all dressed up to go to the tea party, where we were encouraged to wear our best hats and gloves! We had a lovely afternoon tea, and it was so nice to see my dear friends again, all in one place.
I used Bazzill textured cardstock, vellum paper for computer journaling, American Crafts ribbon, and layered Prima flowers for this layout.

School Days - June 2008

These photos were taken in the final days of our school year when Hayden was wrapping up 3rd grade. I often found myself nursing Holden at the table while I was teaching. He liked to lay or sit on the pillow in my lap to be near me. He would sometimes take a nap like that! Those were fun days of learning to juggle teaching responsibilities with the responsibilities of caring for an infant once again. It was a joy! Everything seemed to fall into place and went pretty smoothly overall.
I used the "School Days" theme from the September 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit for this layout. I wrote the title and date on the lines of the "chalkboard" background paper using a white American Crafts Galaxy marker.

Jumperoo - May 2008

I got this Jumperoo for Holden from freecycle, and it was absolutely the filthiest child's toy I've ever seen! I had to bleach it from here to eternity, fabric and all, but it was finally useable again. But hey, it was free! And Holden loved it, so it was worth it. Here he was, using it for the first time.
I made this layout using some scrapbooking goodies I got from a friend when she got rid of a bunch of her supplies. It was some miscellaneous paper and a sheet of Dinosaur themed stickers from Karen Foster Design. I also used some vellum paper for the computer journaling, and I cut the title letters with my Craft Robo.

Heritage Center - June 2008

I took the kids on a field trip to the Heritage Center at the local Farmer's Market. They got to learn how to milk a cow (using a full-sized wooden cow with rubber udders filled with milk), how to churn the milk into butter, how to pump water manually, how to wash clothes with a washboard and ringer, and how to grow soybeans. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot about how things were done in days gone by.

I made this layout using the "Play Time" theme from the June 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit and an American Crafts Slick Writer marker.

My Favorite Thing - May 2008

Holden was just learning about how to sit up in these photos, and we used to prop him up against the recliner and slide this Vtech toy in front of him. It was perfect because it surrounded him on all sides, allowing him to sit up and play, and he just loved it! It's the one toy that was Hayden's that I kept and used with all of the kids. It was a sad day recently when I finally sold it because it was associated with so many fond memories of the kids at this age.

I made this layout using the "My Favorite Things" theme from the March 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit and an American Crafts Slick Writer marker.

Hayride - May 2008

I took the kids on a field trip to Brookdale Farm in Pungo to pick strawberries and go on a fun, fast, and bumpy hayride with Farmer Tom. It was so wild that after Holden and his little friend Kayleigh nursed during the ride, we moms joked that the babies had gotten milkshakes for lunch! LOL.


I did this layout for a contest called "ad inspiration" at Storytellers Club. The part I loved about the ad was the focal photo with uneven rows of smaller accent photos underneath, so that was the design element I used here. The patterned paper is called "Animals" by Karen Foster Design. I used some miscellaneous hay patterned paper that a friend gave me for the title letters, which I cut with my Craft Robo. I cut the black outline for the letters with my Craft Robo, also. I printed the strawberries from Google Images. I used a Fiskars Shape Cutter and rounded square template to trim the photos.

First Cereal - May 2008

Holden got his first taste of baby cereal here, and as you can see by his great bib smile, he was definitely a fan! He always was a good little eater. :)

I used a Colorbok Dimensional Layout page from the "bubblegum" theme pack. The layers of paper were pre-stitched together with the ric rac on there, as well. The foam title letters came from Joann Fabrics & Crafts in the kids section. The baby themed fabric embellishments are Jolee's. The "YUM" lettering is fabric Thickers by American Crafts. I used a blue Galaxy Marker by American Crafts. The blue striped baby ribbon was just in my stash. The metal ribbon craft clips are by Karen Foster Design.

Park Fun - May 2008

Haylee went to the park with her dad by one of his job sites that day. She was 3, almost 4 then. Look at those chubby cheeks! It's amazing how much she has thinned out and shot up since then.


I used the "Blue Boutique" theme from the February 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit for this layout. I added some epoxy alphabet stickers for the title from the dollar spot at Target. I stamped the flourishes with an acrylic stamp by Autumn Leaves and chocolate brown dye ink from Ink It Up. I did the journaling with a brown Slick Writer marker from American Crafts.

Spirit of Norfolk - March 2008

I took the kids on a science field trip on the Spirit of Norfolk. A scientist from Nauticus did a presentation called "Grand Electro" about electricity. Hayden got selected to help with the demonstration, so he was thrilled. You can see from his expression, though, that he didn't know quite what to expect when touching that ball! The kids made a new friend, too, and they played on the dock for hours after the cruise. It was a fun day!


I used some miscellaneous paper I had which had life preservers printed all over it. I thought that was fitting, so I looked on Google and found additional images of life preservers to match and used them as accents on the second page. I used punch-out letters for the title that I bought at ACMoore ages ago and chalked the edges in Pebbles blue pastel chalk to subdue the red lettering a bit. I did all the journaling on the computer.

Feeling Carefree - April 2008

The kids had gotten new scooters for Christmas, so they took them out for a spin on this fine spring day!
I used the "Feeling Carefree" theme from the April 2010 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit for this layout.

First Smile - March 2008

I accidentally scrapped the same photos twice, but I thought it was interesting to see the different approach I used in scrapping them both times, so I decided to keep them both!

I had fun finding clipart images on Google to match the animals on the Boppy pillow in the photos. I thought it added a nice touch of coordination! Unfortunately, after all my hard work of cutting them out by hand, I accidentally dropped an ink pad on the right side of the layout when I was putting my supplies away, thus the blue smudges. Darn! I used lots of rub-on sentiments and Prima flowers, too.

Moments with Mom & Dad - March 2008

I had some miscellaneous photos of Holden at about 3 months of age with me and with Steve, so I put them together for one layout. I love the pictures of Steve swiping a baby kiss! Adorable.



I used the "Family" theme from the April 2010 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit. I like how the flowers on the paper naturally lent themselves to using little pictures as flower centers. I cut the letters from Bazzill cardstock with a lettering template and a Fiskars Shape Cutter.

Silly Faces - March 2008

I love these cute faces! Holden was about 3 months old here.

I used the "Whimsey" theme from the February 2010 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit for this layout. I just love the paper...the colors blended perfectly with the outfit Holden was wearing. I added a vellum quote by Colorbok, and I trimmed one of the diecuts so the birdie's legs would dangle.

American Indian Pow-Wow - April 2008

We had such a good time as this annual pow-wow two years ago TODAY! So funny that I picked today, of all days, to finally scrapbook these photos. A little creepy even (according to Hayden)...maybe a little touch of Twilight Zone!?! I distinctly remember how savagely hot it was that day...as evidenced by little Haylee's bright pink cheeks! The American Indian who posed with them was just an enormous guy! They look so small beside him.
I used the "Enjoying Life" theme from the February 2009 Storytellers Club ultimate kit and a red Slick Writer Marker by American Crafts. I cut the title letters with my Craft Robo using the CK Racer font.

First Smile - February 2008

This layout contains the first smiling photo I ever took of Holden. He was about 6 weeks old here. It's so funny to me that even now, at 2 yrs. 4 mos., he still looks *exactly* like the center photo!

All of the patterned papers, cardstock, stickers, alphas, and die cuts, and tag came from a Heidi Grace Pocket Scraps kit called "Inspire Me." I only added a vellum quote from the Colorbok "baby boy" quote stack, and a misc. blue brad. I based the layout on a sketch by Pages by Design.

Saturday, April 24, 2010

You Are My Sunshine - February 2008

Hayden, my firstborn, my treasure...I love you! Hayden was 8 in this picture.


I used the "You Are My Sunshine" theme from the August 2009 Storytellers Club ultimate kit for this layout. I put pop dots on some small flower die cuts and used them as flower centers to accent the background paper. I added layered flowers from Prima with a brad center, and I hand-pieced a bumblebee with vellum wings and secured it with a pop dot. I wrote in the date with a black Slick Writer marker from American Crafts. I made the black photo mat from construction paper.

Sweet Dreams - February 2008

I love this photo of Holden sleeping...he was only a month old here.


I used the "My Favorite Things" theme from the March 2008 Storytellers Club ultimate kit for this layout. The metal tab and eyelets from 7 Gypsies were also included in the kit, along with the blue textured Bazzill cardstock. I trimmed one blue strip with the deckle blade for my Cutterpede, and the other blue strip with my Fiskars "Treading Water" border punch. I used a template from Pages By Design for the title mat, and I cut the title with my Craft Robo. I used a Precision Pen by American Crafts for the journaling. I based the layout on a sketch that I think I printed from the Creating Keepsakes website a long time ago. I used a printable paper piecing pattern from the Scrapbooks, Etc. website for the tree trunk, and I hand cut the tree trunk from recycled cardboard that was in a home mailer. I used miscellaneous scrap paper for the tree and the title mat.


I made this layout for the Earth Day 2010 contest at the Storytellers Club website.

One of a Kind - February 2008

Holden was just over a month old here. He was sporting a jungle-themed outfit that his Uncle Terry sent to him.

I used the Deco Garden theme from the April 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate kit for this layout. The title words and the word "adorable" on the photo frame were both rub-ons that were included in the kit. I did the journaling with a brown Slick Writer marker.

Thursday, April 15, 2010

Milk Patrol - January 2008

I always loved this shirt with its catchy slogan: "Milk Patrol: Seek & Enjoy!" Holden always was a milk lover, so it suited him just fine!

I used the "Starburst" theme from the November 2008 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. I added some green cardstock I had, and I cut some shapes from one of the patterned papers to decorate the green strip. I also modeled the design after a PageMaps sketch by Becky Higgins. I use a Slick Writer marker for the title, date, and journaling, and a Metallic marker for the slogan across the bottom of the blue mat.

Easter Memories - January 2010

The kids went to the Homeowners' Association's annual Easter egg hunt on the weekend before Easter this year, and then we had our own hunt in the front yard when we got home from church on Easter Sunday. At the association's hunt, Hayden won the big prize basket. That was a big deal for him because this was his last hunt with them since he is 10 now. He was thrilled, even though he gave most of the stuff in the basket to his brother and sister. He ate the chocolate bunny, though, in short order! LOL.
I used the "Easter Memories" theme from the April 2010 Storytellers Ultimate kit, which included the pretty felt flowers I used on the layout. I added some yellow cardstock for the journaling mat that I punched down one side with a Fiskars border punch, and I used some flower shaped brads for the flower centers.

Monday, April 12, 2010

Chocolate Attack - January 2010

These photos were taken on January 30, 2010. Holden was 25 months old here. He had gotten into some chocolate, and I chased him down with the camera, teasing him about being a big mess...thus the sheepish grin. :) He sure does love chocolate!

I used the "Blue Boutique" theme from the February 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit. I added a scrap of polka-dotted patterned paper from the Colorbok Earthy Retrol Scrap Pack and some brads that I colored brown with a Slick Writer marker. I lifted this layout from another ST scrapper for a lift contest.

Reading Together - January 2008

Steve took this photo of Hayden and Haylee shortly after Holden was born. He spotted them cuddled up in a chair together reading a book and eating their beloved popcorn. I just love seeing my kids enjoy being together because they choose to do so. It does a mom's heart good!

The patterned paper is from the "Designer" paper pack by Autumn Leaves. The shaped ribbon is by Li'l Davis Designs. The pink decorative staples are Fastenator staples. The pastel chipboard animals are from Martha Stewart. The vellum quote is from Colorbok. I used a Page Map sketch by Becky Higgins.

Little Miss - January 2008

Haylee was all dressed up for church but wanted to hold Holden before we left. I always loved that dress on her...it has such a little schoolgirl look. She was 3.5 in these photos. I just love her long curls!

I used the "Say Cheese" them from the March 2008 Storytellers Club Ultimate kit for this layout. I added some embossed butterfly, star, and flower stickers as embellishments, and some clear letter stickers for the title.

Arthur Live! - November 2007

During opening week of the Sandler Center, I took Haylee out for a special treat, just the two of us. We saw the Arthur Live stage show of "Arthur Tricks the Tooth Fairy." Our seats were really close to the stage, too. She have a wonderful time and never forgot that if you don't take care of your teeth, the bad tooth fairy will come and make the rot and fall out! She's had great dental hygiene ever since! LOL.

The patterned paper is from the "Designer" paper pack by Autumn Leaves. I cut the swoopy flowers from one of the coordinating papers to use as an embellishment. The title letters are Thickers chipboard letters by American Crafts.

Saturday, April 3, 2010

This picture of Haylee was taken on January 28, 2008. I just love the giddy, happy smile on her face! I imagine someone was probably tickling her when they took this photo!

I used the "All Smiles" theme from the November 2008 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. I added only the layered Prima flowers and red brad center, which I colored with a red Slick Writer marker.

Again? - January 2008

Holden was exactly one month old in these photos and was taking his nightly bath. He sure fussed when he got cold and wet, but he decided he didn't mind once he got snuggled up in a nice warm towel!

I used the "Spring Fever" theme from the April 2009 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. I matted the two main photos with the included textured Bazzill cardstock. I added Thickers for the title letters. I didn't have a black question mark left, so I used a brown one and colored it with a black slick writer marker. I also added a layered flower made from a combination of a yellow polka-dotted Petaloo Dahlia Box Blends flower and two Prima flowers with a yellow flower brad center.

Lazy Days

Holden was exactly one month old in these pictures. He'd already had his bath and was feeling all relaxed and comfy!

I used the "Lazy Days" theme from the January 2008 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. I accidentally tore the title die cut when I was punching it out, and so I covered the boo-boo with a strip of ribbon that was also in the kit! It ended up working out okay!

Thursday, April 1, 2010

Cherish - January 2008

Holden was about 3 weeks old here. He was all dressed up for church in the outfit Candace had bought for him as a baby shower gift. He was sitting in his beloved FP Aquarium bouncy seat. I'll never forget that seat...it played the most soothing music that put him to sleep every night!


I used the "Cherished Moments" theme from the January 2008 Storytellers Club kit for this layout. I matted the photos with the print on the flip side of the paper. I added layered flowers from Petaloo Dahlia Box Blends with yellow flower shaped brads in the centers. I also added the vellum quote from Colorbok "Baby Boy" Vellum Quote Pack to one of the die cuts.

What's Cookin' - January 2008

Haylee got a little baking set for Christmas and wanted to try it out, so just a couple of weeks later, here we were, featuring Chef Haylee in the kitchen!

I used the Journey theme from the December 2009 Storytellers Club Ultimate kit for this layout.

Live, Laugh, Love - December 2007

These photos were taken right after Holden's birth. I made sure to let the birthweight show on the scales! Almost exactly 7 lbs.!

I based the layout on a sketch in the Pages by Design idea book, and I used the PBD templates. The patterned papers and die cuts are from the Colorbok Earthy Retro Scrap Pack, and the dimensional sticker accents are from Sandylion Essentials.

My Son - January 2008

This photo was taken when Holden was only a couple of weeks old. I remember taking it because I somehow lost the birth photo package we bought from the hospital, and I needed a photo to put on the birth announcements I made! I remember cropping Holden from the photo to use on the announcements, but I think I ended up using a different photo anyway! LOL. Anyway, I thought it was a sweet photo of father and son. Doesn't Steve looked oh-so-tired?!?

I used the Backyard Fun theme from the September 2009 Storytellers Club Ultimate kit and based the layout on a PageMaps sketch by Becky Higgins. I trimmed down one of the die cut border strips to reveal the ric rac edge as one of the paper strips used to accent the photo. I added only some pieces of Felt Fusion I cut from a package of felt border. I entered this in the May Guest Designer contest at ST. Wish me luck!

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Winter Wonderland - November 2007

These photos were taken at Hunt Club Farm where I took the kids on the Winter Wonderland field trip on 11-30-07. This was less than a month before Holden was born. Haylee actually touched a turkey! That was a big deal, which is why I took a photo of it! LOL.



I used the Christmas theme from the December 2009 Storytellers Club ultimate kit. I cut the title letters from the included Bazzill cardstock with my Craft Robo and adhered them with the Xyron 150 sticker maker. Everything else was included in the kit.


Saturday, March 20, 2010

Easter - March 2008

These photos were taken during our Easter egg hunt in the front yard. We did it the day before Easter Sunday just so the kids would have more time to do in the morning instead of waiting until after church. Holden's not in the photos 'cause he wasn't even 3 months old yet.

I used the Easter theme from the April 2009 Storytellers Club Ultimate Kit. I added only the circle of purple rhinestones around the picture of Haylee and the Prima layered flowers with the flower brad center.
