My compliments to the chef - a Year in Review - 2011

I thought it would be fun to do a year in review page for Lauren to showcase some of the wonderful baking projects she's undertaken this past year. Looking at this page - I'm so impressed with what she makes at only 11/12 years old - and I also wonder why we don't all weigh 700 pounds! LOL!

Favorite Photos - Grant at Cocoa Beach

I scrapped these photos for my family book back in 2010, but I realized I never put them in Grant's book. I absolutely love these photos so I decided I'd put them together for Grant's book too! I love summer pages!

Our sweet pup!

I created this page using a bunch of stuff from Jessica Sprague. I had an opportunity to use some new product from Jenni Bowlin Designs that will be coming out in the next couple of weeks. You can find all the credits for this page here.

Layout of the Week at Shabby Princess

Yahoo! My "Sisters" layout got picked as Layout of the Week at Shabby Princess this week. Getting that email made my day. I absolutely love all Shabby Princess digi products so I'm quite sure I can manage to spend the $10. (OK I did already - and then some!)

Here's a link to the posting and here's the LO again.

You know, I got LOTW (layout of the week) there a couple of months ago too. (Again, totally made my day.) For the fun of it, here's a linkto that post.

Random Snapshots - April 2011

In glad I'm doing these "random snapshots" pages. I'm glad to be using some of the snapshots that haven't made it to a full scrapbook page, but that still represent what was going on in our life at the time. These are such fun, quick pages to put together!

P365+1 - Week 9: February 26 - March 3, 2012

Happy birthday Scott!!

P365+1 - Week 8: February 19 - February 25, 2012 (a redo) (+ Volleyball & Basketball)

Here's a re-do of Week 8. I decided I wanted to do a full page of Grant's basketball tournament (and Lauren's volleyball tournament) so I swapped out a photo. Here also are the additional pages I made for last weekend's volleyball and basketball tournaments.

(Are the reds crazy in this page or what?!)

And as a total contrast to the vivid reds in Grant's basketball page, I think the colors on this page of Lauren's volleyball tournament make it look almost old fashioned/vintage(y). (At least the colors do!)

Love you Grandma!

I made another page today using Nancie Rowe Janitz's new painted canvases (coming soon at Jessica Sprague). I absolutely love the effect it has on paper. On this page I just selected the blue from my mother-in-law's jacket and made the background that color. It came as a totally flat color. I added the painted canvas with a quick blending mode and look how awesome it looks. These things are so fun!

Quick Change - Grant the Baker

I just saw some awesome painted textures that are coming out soon from Nancie Rowe Janitz at Jessica Sprague and I thought it made a great addition to this page, so ... here's my new verison of Grant the baker! (I need to play with textures more ... they're so fun!)
