Lots of Layouts to share

I've been busy scrapbooking with my kits from the Scrap-Room.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

Some more layouts to share

These were all made with the August Scrap-Room kit. 

I know that I have a LOT to catch up on - I hope to start updating this blog more regularly now that the kids are back to school and we are getting into more of a routine.

Some recent layouts to share

I have been busy - and haven't forgot about my blog.  I hope to get better at updating it this month!  Here are some recent layouts (mostly using the June and July Scrap-Room kit)

I am teaching an online class!

This is the first week of my online class that I am teaching at the Scrap-Room.  If you are interested, there is more information here.  I am really happy with the layouts and cards that I have created for this class.

  Here is the finished layout that is shown in the peek above.

Look at how little Miss Lily was! 

She is really trying to grow up as fast as she can - including crawling and now trying to walk at only 9 months old!  She really has no fear and will try to take steps already. 

Here are some of my favorite photos of her from last weekend.

Have a great weekend!

Love Elsie layouts (Cody and Claire paper lines)

I also have these two layouts posted at Scrapbooks.com

Is is Spring yet?

Ok - so I know it has been a long time since I last posted... sorry. I will try to update with some photos of the kids and some of my latest layouts.  I did have good intentions of posting on Valentines day - Here are some photos I took of the kids (love the girls in their matching shirts!)

        

It is a good thing that I got some good photos of Owen with all of his baby teeth - because Sunday morning (Feb 10th) he jumped off the couch, slammed into the end table and knocked out his front tooth.  I guess I am glad that it was only a baby tooth and he is almost 5 years old, but I don't think that the new tooth is going to come in for a long time.  Now his other front tooth is starting to look kind of gray in color - so I am thinking that one is going to have to come out too.  Yikes!  Here is his new smile -

Lily turned 7 months old on the 19th.  She figured out how to feed herself the Gerber Graduate puffs - and now she really enjoys eating them.  Overall she is a very happy little girl - loves to smile and blow raspberries.  She can sit up and play - but would rather have help to stand up.  Loves to "dance" and sway to music and play peek-a-boo.  Wants to touch and taste everything - but doesn't have any teeth yet. 

In other exciting news - my wonderful husband has been making great progress on my room in the basement.  The walls are all painted, doors and trim installed, cabinet and countertop are installed - and he is working on building the custom "wall of cubes" for storage.  I can't wait to have all of my scrapbooking and crafting materials organized - hopefully I can be a little more efficient.

And finally, here are my layouts created with the March Scrap-Room kit.

 

   

February Scrap-Room Layouts

Here are my layouts and cards that I completed with the February Kit at The Scrap-Room -

 

 

The last one is the title page for my 2008 Year in Review album.  To answer some questions about my last post, the quilt is from Pottery Barn Kids - and here is a photo of Lily's room (we finally got her butterfly mobile hung up above her crib!)  The room is painted a light butter yellow - we matched the paint color to the yellow color in the quilt.

And here are some photos of my three girls in their matching shirts - so cute!

Sharing some more layouts

I finished my last two month in review layouts for 2007.  Our family really had a great year - it is so fun to be able to look at this album and remember what happened each month.  The biggest event of the year had to be the birth of Lily - she is such a joy and has fit in with the rest of us so easily.

Here are my January designs using the kit from The Scrap-Room -
