Kherington Gray at one month old...

















Already, we couldn't live without this little bundle.

9 months mini

scrapbook share #5...







(supplies: patterned paper: Basic Grey; ghost butterflies, journaling spots: Heidi Swapp; negative frames and words: downloaded from House of 3 and printed on to transparency; other: lace, glitter, tulle)


After my husband did a little photo shoot of my preggo tummy, I figured I'd better do something fun with the photos. I actually just printed a bunch of photos randomly with no plan in mind, and ended up doing this little mini with these small pictures. ( I think this album measures about 6.5 x 3.5") Just simple and easy! I love all of the downloadable products at House of 3...it's fun 'cause you can just print them as-is onto transparency sheets like I did here, and you have instant, clear accents. Oh, I feel like such a digital scrapper! Haha! (or, I guess I should say "hybrid"!)



and...



Since this is my last day this week of sharing scrapbook stuff, I have a little bonus project as well...









(supplies:Heidi Swapp!)



Okay, so this is my attempt at "boy"! And I have to say, it was fuuuuuun to play with all this stuff and venture away from my pink. It's all new territory, I tell ya! Anyways, Graham and I celebrated our 8th anniversary on Monday, so of course I had to make him a card. Another good excuse for a scrapbook page! Nothing new and crazy here...I just wanted to use different pictures of us over the years, and of course, the hidden letter just for him. Love how it turned out, and he did, too. (smile) And just a side note, we kept our anniversary very low-key...I gave him this card, he brought me home a gorgeous bouquet of some of the cutest flowers I've ever seen, and we went out for dinner, just the 2 of us. We even managed to leave Kherington with my sister and niece, so it was perfect.



Thanks for visiting me this week, it's been nice to be thinking about scrapbooking again. Time to get going on some stuff for Kherington!!

just so you know (gabby)

My fourth scrapbook share...(man, I can't believe I am staying on top of this!)






(supplies: felt shapes: KI Memories; flower trim: Doodlebug; ribbon: Making Memories; everything else: Heidi Swapp)



Here's Gabby's layout that I did for her before the baby was born. I absolutely love the cobalt blue chipboard letters lately...a totally different color for me. So much fun! Again, an envelope with the hidden journaling. When I like something, I just do it over and over again!! Someone had asked if I put these pages in regular protectors and the answer is yes. Since the journaling isn't for everyone to see, I figured that you don't need easy access to read it...and when Gabby wants to read it, she can just slip the page out of the protector and open her envelope! Also, I've talked about this before, but I'm really into doing similar layouts for my girls lately. If you have a good idea, or if you do a layout that you love, just whip one up for all of your kids! A good idea can go a long way. It's so much easier for me to scrapbook two similar layouts than to be thinking of new ideas from scratch. So go ahead and re-create your fave layouts!!



Thanks for coming by, and tomorrow's my last day to share!!

remember

Scrapbook share #3!






(supplies: hmmm...pretty much everything Heidi Swapp, except for the lace bow, pink flower and the digital frame on my photo downloaded from House of 3.)



Another pregnancy page. I did this journaling just 2 days before I had Kherington. Again, I was just feeling sentimental and wanted to record my feelings as my pregnancy was coming to an end. It was fun to mix and match a bunch of my Heidi Swapp stuff from my stash...you can never go wrong with this color combo!



Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back tomorrow!

just so you know

I told you I'd be back with some more scrap stuff, didn't I? Here's my second scrapbook share for the week:







(supplies: patterned paper, chipboard letters, journaling spots, definition sticker, star: Heidi Swapp; flower and scalloped trim: Doodlebug; other: envelope, ribbon)



I wanted to do a page for my big girls to let them know how special they are before I had the baby...this one is Payton's. I am loving using envelopes on my projects lately. It's a great way to hide journaling, and I think it will be more special as the years go by for my kids to read these private little heartfelt notes...words that are meant just for them. (I also find it easier to journal when I know no one else is reading it except for the person it's for.) And I'm loving the bright colors lately...I was wishing for spring when I did this page!



See you tomorrow!!

easter and a layout

Just wanted to quickly share a few of our (very imperfect!) Easter pictures. I was so excited to find 3 matching dresses back in January for the girls...so cute!










And I've been talking forever about how I have scrapbook stuff to share, so I thought I'd better get to it! I am totally itching to do some scrapbooking with all of my fun new pictures of K and the girls, but finding TIME is proving to be almost impossible. I think that has been my biggest adjustment with now having 3 kids...my complete lack of time to do anything. And I'm not just talking about not having time to do what I want to do...I'm talking, there's no time for anything! Eating, getting ready, cleaning, sleeping, you name it...I have no time for it. Haha!



That being said, at this exact moment, all 3 girls are either sleeping, playing or doing who-knows-what upstairs, so I thought I'd do a quick scrapbook share.




(supplies: patterned paper: Basic Grey, Heidi Swapp; chipboard #'s, alpha stamps: Heidi Swapp; notebook paper: Making Memories; swirly accent and medallion accent: downloaded from House of 3 and printed onto a transparency; other: tissue paper, jewel)


I printed off the image I had used for my blog banner before I had Kherington and used it for this layout...I can't believe I had a baby inside me and I can't believe she's almost 6 weeks old! AAaahhh!



Anyways, how about this...come back every day till Friday and I'll post a new page or project each day. This blog needs some more scrapbook stuff goin' on, don'tcha think?



See you tomorrow!!

a few photos...

...that I took of my family over the Easter weekend. And yes, these are just a few of the many that were taken! Just wanted to give my fam a peek at them...the rest are on their way to you!
