Scrapping the Now

I took part in Studio Calico's Weekly Challenge, which was to scrap a "now" picture.  I have such a hard time not scrapbooking chronologically, hence why there are only two newborn pages in Miss E's baby book. This was a great challenge for me to break out of my rut.

I choose to use a couple pictures from last weekend.  We were spending the last few minutes playing before bedtime and I looked over and saw my two favourite people playing together and thought these are the moments that life is all about.

I am really loving getting back in the creative groove!

What a Difference a Year Makes...

This time last year the hubby and I were just telling the world our big news.  Now we are proud parents to a 7 month old baby girl.  Now that the nights are a little less sleepless and the naps a bit more structured, I am finally finding time to scrapbook again.

Here is the title page to Miss Elise's baby book.

I really need to work on taking better pictures of my pages, but you get the idea.

Hopefully there will be more pages to share soon!

Nothing like a Challenge...

There is nothing like a good challenge to get the creative juices flowing.  After a complete re-vamp of my craft room it was nice to sit down and actually create!

I saw a challenge on the Scrapbook Paradise blog and decided to give it a try.  I don’t usually make tags, but it was nice to try something different. 

With all of the big changes coming in my life I hope that I can continue to squeeze in some creative time!!

World Card Making Day

Studio Calico hosted some challenges for World Card Making Day this weekend and I was able to play along.  Here are the three cards that I made based on their challenges.

4 Years Ago Today…

In front of our family and friends the Hot Hubby and said I Do!  I can't believe it has been 4 years already.  It seems just like yesterday I was looking down the aisle at my husband to be.

I haven't started our wedding album yet.  The whole idea scares me ;)   I have done a couple of pages with our wedding pictures including the layout below which I put in our 2006 album.

I *heart* Studio Calico

After drooling over the kits forever, I finally broke down and ordered their kits.  When the I received the box on my door step I was so excited.  I haven’t had that much time to play with it yet, but here are the first two pages that I made using some of the Back 40 Kit.  I can’t wait for the next box to show up on my door step!

The first page shows the pictures that the hot hubby and I had taken to celebrate our 1st anniversary (our 4th anniversary is tomorrow!).

   

This page shows the “adventure” I had babysitting my nephew.  After reading Wacky Wednesday we both got a little wacky ;)

I Need a Vacation!!

Around this time ever year I start getting the vacation itch.  The Hot Hubby and I have been lucky enough to get away for a week the last two winters and I really hope we can sneak off again this year.

In December 2008 we celebrated my parents 30th wedding anniversary in Punta Cana.  We celebrated Christmas at the resort, and let me tell you I didn’t miss the snow at all!

Here are some pages that I did for that vacation that I never got around to posting.  Looking at these pages makes long for the beach and the sun…
