I LOVE to eat gingerbread cookies and the boys LOVE to make them! I couldn't resist making a layout of the fun time we had getting our hands dirty with gingerbread, frosting and chocolate!
Just when I thought I would never be in the mood to create another kit, my brother e-mailed me a few drawings he created in ArtRage (If you want to see more of his artwork, visit his Gallery)! My SIL and I thought they would make great elements for scrapbooking. One thing led to another and he went on a roll creating all these adorable hand-drawn doodles this week. Of course I couldn't resist making this darn cute kit! The best part is that it's yours for the taking so go forth and scrap. In return, My brother and I would love to see what you do with it so please send your layouts :) Not all elements are shown in the preview. Personal Use only.
A fun layout of the boys planting some seeds for the garden last spring. I just LOVE Kate Hadfield's hand drawn doodles and they are on sale at the Lily Pad right now so I grabbed a few but think I will go grab more today!
There are so many gorgeous Autumn kits out there I couldn't resist doing a couple of layouts! It's too early for this year's trip to the pumpkin patch so I scrapped last year's pics. It seems we have taken a trip to the pumpkin patch with my nephews all but one year since they were born and this is only the second time I've scrapbooked it. I would love to get them all done before we go this year!!!! The goals of a scrapper never end do they? :)
I've been on a roll with scrapping lately! I really wanted to get the pictures from our first trip with the new trailer scrapped because I know there will be lots more in the future! As you can see, I took a lot of pics on this 5-day trip but thanks to Yin's Templates, I was able to arrange them without it looking too cluttered. I re-arranged most of the templates just a bit as to not have the pics fall in the crease (when/if they get printed in a book) even though it wasn't really necessary. Thanks for looking! Enjoy!

I have been so busy enjoying the summer and spending time outside that it seems like forever since I've done a layout and even longer since I've designed anything. I've been trying to learn Adobe Illustrator for quite sometime and it's a daunting task. I did manage to draw some bird and tree doodles (some used in the layout above) and it was fun but I have a lot to learn. I actually made everything in this layout and it has inspired me to do more. Who knows, maybe a kit will come of it or at the very least, some CU doodles!
For our Easter card this year I just had to use the bunny ears as I'm pretty sure it will be the last time my boys will wear them. Riley willingly put them on but I had to pay Hunter a quarter to do it. Kayla...well, she just tolerated it because she's old and too arthritic to care.
My boys didn't want to sit and pose for a pic with the Easter bunny but they didn't mind giving him "five". Hunter was thrilled but Riley was a little apprehensive about getting too close!
Another fun photo shoot with my boys!

The boys and I had a field trip to Invesco Field the other day so I had to scrap it! I learned so many interesting facts about this stadium and the old Mile High Stadium which it replaced in 2001. At the end of the month we'll be touring Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies!
I had to capture Hunter engaging in a little game of soccer with his brother. In general he would prefer building something with Legos or Kinex rather than play sports but he has his moments where he really enjoys some sports fun in the backyard!
It's been unseasonably warm this past week for Feb in Colorado so I thought I'd do a sunny layout to remember it by. This photo was also a P-365 runner-up so of course it gets a layout. The reason it was a runner-up is because I featured Riley in the previous day's photo-of-the-day so it was only fair to feature Hunter on this day to keep things fair. You can view both photos here :). I used a quickpage made by my friend Christie Hayes from my Funshine kit Thanks Christie! The font in Dupree.
I think I started making this kit in August or something and fizzled out on it. I finally set a goal to finish it up and get it released by the end of the month so here it is! You can grab it in my store HERE. To view just the papers, click HERE. To help me preview this new kit and the free quickpage, I'm using a photo of my brother and SIL's new puppy, Alexa!!!! She's a cutie, don't ya think?
For those of you doing Project-365, you may have run into this same dilemma. At the end of the day, I sometimes end up with more than one photo worthy of being "The photo of the day." I came across that problem on the 12th of Jan. It was the first decent snow we had and the first time the boys got to go sledding with their new sleds. I brought my camera to the park with us and took several nice photos. My personal favorite of the day was this photo I took of Kayla. The reason I like it so much is because in the exact moment I snapped this photo....A) I caught her looking right at me (something she NEVER does when I have my camera aimed at her). B) She's in focus. C) The lighting was just right. Despite this being my favorite photo of that day, I chose THIS PHOTO instead because it defined the day more adequately. At least Kayla gets to have her own layout :) For a closer look at Kayla click here :)
I finally got around to using my latest kit Geocachin' Passion for this layout.
My Friend Christie used the same kit to do this wonderful 2-page layout of her geocaching adventure!
Our latest pastime...or should I say obsession, is our new Wii. We decided to buy one this year and we gave it to the boys on Dec 19th so we could all enjoy it on our 2 week vacation. We were so immersed in all the fun over Christmas and the boys are still having a ball with it. They're favorite games by far are Lego Batman and Mario Kart but they love all the sports games, too. I can't decide which game is my favorite...Wii fit, golf, bowling, dodge ball, pool...I love them all. Great fun for sure!!!
