What a priceless photo! Caleb is so cool and - bad! He's quite the character! And so is our new addition, Riley. We adopted him back in October. He was a bit thin when we got him and we think he may have been abused / neglected. Now, he's made a huge turnaround and spends his days following us around and checking on everyone every few minutes. Must be a tiring job!
This is Logan's 15 month layout - technically. But most of what he was starting to do at this age was copying his littlest big brother, Thurman (maybe not such a great idea).
This is Thurman's 2.5 year old layout. I came up with the title because he calls himself "Purmie", then I found this great kit that worked perfectly for it. Since Duane's been getting some OT because of the weather, I splurged and actually BOUGHT a few boyish kits because so many of them are more on the feminine side.
I was shocked when I took my 14 year old for his routine eye exam and was told he had a cataract! He had surgery to remove it along with a lens implant and recovered quickly. And even though he wasn't thrilled to have the surgery, he's glad he did because he can see a whole lot better now! I would have never thought to use these colors together, but I love how it turned out!
I don't have many layouts with pictures of me - because there aren't many pictures of me! Except for a rare occasion, I'm the only picture taker in the house. The only reason I used these ones of my swimming is because they are from the waist up - LOL. It was a blast swimming with all the kids even though the little ones weren't too sure about it! I can't wait to do it again!
I did Thurman's "Little Devil" layout first and loved it so much, I did Abigail's Halloween page using the same layout but with different colors and elements. For Thurman's I again used Kristin Aagard Design's brand new kit called "Jailbird". Don't you love the horns, tail and pitchfork that came in the kit? Of course, Thurman isn't really a devil, but he does get into quite a bit of mischief and this layout is about a few particularly outstanding incidents. For Abigail's layout, I used a kit by Wicked Scrapz called "Devilicious". Even though she was techically a vampire for Halloween, I loved how this kit went with her costume. And vampires really are kind of devilish anyway, aren't they?
I saw this brand new kit by Kristin Aagard Designs this morning. It's called "Jailbird" and being that I have 5 boys (and 1 girl) who get into more than their fair share of mischief, I knew I couldn't pass this one up! I love Kristin's designs - they are always so adorable! I wasn't planning on redoing Christian's Halloween layout, but since he was dressed as a prisoner, I had to redo it using this kit!
This is Logan's one year layout for the family album - whew, I am finally really getting some caught up! Of course, before I get fully caught up, there are a bunch more "to do" layouts added to my list. I am looking forward to doing an updated "Book of Me" if I ever get fully caught up with the other albums (wishful thinking probably).Digital Kit: "Fall Festival" by Stuff to Scrap blog train
I am finally starting to get caught up on our family album. This is Thurman's two year layout.
This was a title page I made for Logan's first album with photos from his birth all the way up until he was 9 months old. My, how he's grown! Time goes way too fast! I used a brand new kit from Un-Leash-ed Scraps called "Dino Friends (Revised)". I love the new colors and elements!
Okay, one more with the same layout! Just because I loved how it turned out with these fabulous girly colors! I don't get a chance to do girly layouts often compared to the number of boy layouts to do, so I get excited when I get a chance to do something this pretty! The kit I used is called "Heart's Wish" and it's by Miss Kim Designs.
This was a re-do of an earlier layout I did of Logan's pincer grip. It's so cute the way he picks up small things. It reminds me of lobster claws. I wasn't quite happy with the original layout and planned to redo it eventually. When I saw this adorable freebie kit from Mommy Me Time Scrapper and Mom's Unique Possibilities called "To the Sea", I knew it would be perfect for this layout. The colors are perfect for a boy layout and the lobster is just too cute!
Oh my gosh, I am SO late with this one! Where did the time go? This was a CT layout done with Shanmomto4 Design's kit called "Cool and Collected". I love the colors! I just did a title page for Thurman's newest album since this kit makes a great boy or girl kit!
This is the family layout for our trip to Lakemont Park. I love love love this kit! The colors and embellishments are fantastic! It's brand new from Un-Leash-ed Scraps ("Mighty Jungle").
When Duane says he's giving someone a haircut, RUN... DO NOT WALK the other direction! Of course, it wasn't his fault, though. The poor, defenseless clippers got the blame for Logan's new buzz do. I used a cute kit called "Snips and Snails". It was a collab from Flower Scraps by Deanna Jones and JW Digi Scraps.
