Yes - I am extremely excited! But as a friend said... it will be bitter sweet.

MY - OLW Challenge

I haven't had many chances to scrap lately but I did finally take the time to create a layout for the current One Little Word challenge. The word is "MY" and as soon as I saw it I knew exactly what I needed to scrap about...



Journalling:
Life with a 2 1/2 year old
Whenever Lexi sees something she wants - she looks at me and asks MY? MY?
it totally cracks me up since she even asks when things are clearly someone elses!

This was a different style of layout for me but alot of fun since I let Lexi create the background paper.

enjoy!

STOP - OLW Challenge

Here is my take on the One Little Word Challange (www.onelittleword.blogspot.com). The second word is STOP!

This page is what I need to say to myself to just get the will power and go forward with the diet and exercise routine that works best for me. Stop the Madness of trying this and that - just go forward


I printed the pictures up as 1 1/2 inch square photos side by side and trimmed them out together to serve as my one photo. I muted their color intensity so that they don't stand out - the journalling does. This was so different from my usual way of thinking! But it works for 'MY' mini album.

Thanks for looking and have a great week! kelly

PS - BIG congrats to my BIL for a great finish at the Memorial Tournament!

A Decade of Bliss

10 years ago today I married my best friend. Every minute has not been perfect but I would say it has been a perfect life together.

I love you!

Happy Birthday Todd!

Just wanted to wish the wonderful man that I married a happy birthday!!! You are so special to me and are an incredible daddy. Have a great day!

One Little Word

I got some time to scrapbook yesterday which was wonderful! Most of the time I was just working on little albums for the kid's pre-school teachers as a thank you but I did also get the chance to make a page for the 1st challenge at www.onelittleword.blogspot.com. This was fun!

Their first word is 'GO' and you are challenged to create a page about whatever this word inspires in you. As I was online yesterday the kids were running around playing making ALOT of noise and I happened to notice on our desk the pictures of each of the kids from the hospital as a newborn and made me think - 'Where did the time go..." - thus my page!!!



I have decided that I will use these challenges as pages for my own little 9x9 album of favorite pictures and just things I want to say. So anything GOes!!

Enjoy!

Flattery

They say that Imitation is the Greatest Form of Flattery. This is one of the many reasons I love scrapbooking. I LOVE to look at other peoples layouts and get ideas for my pages. Sometimes it is a color scheme, sometimes an embellishment, or a journalling idea and sometimes it is an entire layout that totally speaks to you. That is what happened when I was looking at an issue of Scrapbooks etc. lately and there was a layout by Janna Wilson that just totally grabbed me. And I knew I just had to copy it! And I knew exactly what picture. I was very blessed to get alot of cute pics from Easter this year (I have already posted several layouts and alot of the pics). My friend Ronda P. decided to play around in Adobe with a cute picture of Lexi and taught me a little about the software (still learning) so I decided to create a sepia version.



Thanks Ronda for teaching! And Thanks to Janna and all the other fabulous scrapbookers out there who help to inspire us with ideas and art!

If you are in need of some great new ideas - be sure to check out two new blogs that feature my friend Ronda - www.unpubbed.blogspot.com and www.onelittleword.blogspot.com. I can't wait to work on my pages inspired by these two blogs. Maybe I will post later...


Have a wonderful Sunday!
