Boy Scrapbook pages!

Blogging has been put on the back burner as I am trying to find a job. Any free time I have, I try and create something, or spend time with my hubby :) (I LOVE HIM!) Those things keep me sane. :) Here are a few pages I did somewhat recently. ;-) I am going to a crop in a couple of weeks, so hopefully I will have more pages to share soon.

The pages above were created with the Boys will be Boys cartridge and Birthday Bash.


Wow, I didn't realize I used so many different cartridges on this one. The tree is from Stretch Your Imagination (I cut off the apple that was hanging down) The road and the car are from Paper Dolls for Everyday. The letters and the arrow are from Boys Will Be Boys! The scallops are from Plantin Schoolbook. I think I got them all. :)

Happy Valentines Day!

Wow, I have lots of Valentines projects to share! I have been busy making things, being a Mom, a Wife and looking for a part time job. Luckily my family has been patient with me as I try and juggle all of those things. ;-)

Valentines Cards
Yes I finally made some cards out of the K & Company valentines kit. I have to be honest, I looked at the beautiful paper for hours before I finally figured out how I wanted to use it. ;-) It was just to pretty to cut and I am also very used to using solid colors. But I was very pleased with how the cards turned out, although, I didn't take a picture of my first card. :)!

Valentine Fabric Fun
Scraps, scraps and more scraps! I am so thankful that I save my scraps, because I have been able to do so many extra projects with them. I made this quilted valentines wall hanging from some scraps I have had in my closet for years. Including the batting. :) The binding is from a small remnant I just bought recently. The letters are cut from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge. I haven't mastered cutting fabric on the cricut yet, so I just cut the letters on card stock and then trace them on the heat n bond.

Re-purposing an old t-shirt with a stain on the bottom and some pants that were a little short. So simple and so CUTE!

I've been busy

Finally, I have gotten back full swing into scrapping! How good it feels to get several layouts done this week for my sons album. Now if I can keep up the momentum I will be good to go for a while. It has helped that months ago, I had picked out the papers to go with the pictures. ;-) Choosing paper is always the most time consuming part for me.

This is our "Family Bedtime" which occurs in the morning while everyone is trying to wake up. The buttons are cut from the Wild Card cartridge. I embossed some of the buttons and added some some glossy accents by Inkssentials to add some texture to the page.

Tummy Time was an easy layout to do, because I had so many pictures to use, and I couldn't pass up on any of them. What a Happy Baby!!!
The letters are from Birthday Bash. The tags and shapes are from Tags Bags Boxes and More, and lastly the airplane is from Boys Will Be Boys.

I have to say, as much as I am enjoying scrapping again after a bit of a break when I was on a sewing kick, I struggle every night with what to do. Should I scrap or sew??? ;-) I have hundreds of pictures ready to scrap and a long list of "want to makes" with materials in my fabric stash. For now I think it will be...
Onto more scrapping. :) Maybe some Valentines projects in the near future.
