I scrapped!!!

It has been months since I have sat down to scrapbook. For some reason I had just lost the desire to. So on Monday morning I headed to the scrapbook store and bought me some new goodies to see if I could get myself motivated. And it worked, that night I scrapped 2 layouts!! Woohoo!! But the funny thing is, I didn't use any of my new goodies! hehe! Seeing all the fall decorations out at the malls, schools, etc. I decided to work on a few of my fall photos from last year. The pictures are from a trip we took to the pumpkin patch last year. The kids had a wonderful time. Can't wait to do it again this year. Enjoy!

Supplies Used: Scenic Route PP, Heidi Swapp Chipboard Alphas, Pressed Petals Chip Chatter, SU! Bravo Burgundy Ink, SU! Pumpkin Pie Ink, Ric Rack, Floss, buttons, staples, Misc. leaves

Supplies Used: Bazzill Carstock, Scenic Route PP, SU! Scalloped Punch, SU! Modern Label Punch, SU! Bravo Ink, SU! Chocolate Chip marker, Misc. leaf

Now...I hope I stay motivated!! God Bless!!!

Some things to share...

The other day I got a few hours for myself and was able to do some scrapbooking! I did 3 layouts! Woohoo! Take a look:

Here's my baby girl, Jaz! One of her nicknames is Jazi! I'm not too crazy about how my cutting turned out (need a new pair of scissors) but oh well, it done! I used some very old papers from Tinkering Ink for this layout! Still love them though.

Here's Jeremy with his Godparents this past Easter!

And he's my oldest, Daniel, enjoying the Easter Egg Hunt. He's funny! At first, he said he wasn't going to partake but after seeing all the eggs scattered in the lawn and knowing they were filled with lots of goodies, he grabbed a plastic bag from the kitchen and a huntin' he went! LOL!

Oh, and I was able to finish up my Father's Day card for my husband. I decided to go with a different color than the ones used on my other cards. The brown was getting a little boring! LOL! It's simple but I like the way it turned out.

Stamp Sets: SU! All Holidays

Paper: SU! Cardstock (Whisper White), Chatterbox PP

Inks: SU! Not Quite Navy & Kiwi Kiss

Accessories: SU! Ribbon (Bashful Blue), Pop Dots

I know I'm a bit late, but I hope all my "daddy" friends had a wonderful Father's Day! I am truly blessed for the men God has put in my life! I have the best dad evah! Til this day, he still spoils me! And my kids can not ask for a better dad! We're so blessed!

Enjoy the rest of the week! It is really, really hot here!! Unless I'm near water, I do not venture outside too much! LOL!

God Bless!
