in full bloom

Another page done for my sister's album.  This apple tree is in her yard, and it was full of blooms this year!  After a cold and snowy winter in Pennsylvania, it was a welcome sight!

Girls just want to have fun!

My grand niece with her two cousins.  This will be a page in the album I do for my sister every year.

The List

Bon Appetit

Chandler aka "Mr Independent" likes to feed himself.  It got pretty messy when he ate ravioli!!

Here we grow from month to month

We thought it would be a fun idea to take a picture of Chandler each month to document the first year.  It was really hard to get him to sit still as he got older!!  I didn't use a whole lot of embellishments on this page outside of what came on the Jillibean Soup placemat frames.  I did tuck some colored cardstock behind the cutout words.  I wanted the focus to be on the pictures.

How about a test drive?

My sweet great niece convinced her mom that she needed to take a bike for a test drive in the store.

Mother's Day

My daughter's first mother's day!

Hello Sunshine

How many clicks does it take?

One of my favorite scrappy designers is Aphra Bolyer who has been on several design teams.  She did THIS amazing page about a year ago for the Cricut Circle magazine and I just had to lift it.  It's been on my mind for awhile.  I changed it up for the cartridges that I had, and to suit my pictures, but it is still based on her page.  I think it is her sense of humor that is apparant on her pages that I admire so much if truth be told!! LOL

Here's my lift

And here is Aphra's original

One Step at a Time

I loved seeing Chandler walk for the first time!
