Big Sale

Don't forget to check out the half price sale over at A-manda Creations. This is a great deal on all of her amazing kits.

Pearfect Little Boy

Amanda Creation has a new kit called Pearfect. I have to admit that EJ is definitely Pearfect to me and Michael. I am trying to finish EJ's one year album. The next pictures up were of his Adoption. I have made two pages so far. I hope you enjoy them. You can purchase this kit here.

Spooks and Spells

We don't really celebrate the scary, spooky part of Halloween at our house. As a result, I don't have any of those pics that would use the ghosts and goblins part of a Halloween Kit. However, as soon as I saw the glitter papers and elements in A-manda Creation's new Spooks and Spells kit I knew that I wanted to use them with pictures from The Wiggles that we took EJ to this year in Orlando. The colors - red, yellow, blue, and purple - worked wonderfully with this double spread layout. Hope you enjoy the pages as much as EJ enjoyed the concert. He now has a Wiggles bedroom as well. You can pick this kit up here. I have included 3 more from the Orlando trip as well.

Amazing Autumn

Once again, A-manda Creation has come up with another great kit called Amazing Autumn. We love to be outside during the Autumn Season so I have so many pictures to go along with these colors. I chose to use this kit for our Pumpkin activities. These can be used for kid pictures as well as adult pictures. You can purchase the kit here. Enjoy.

Bushels of Fun

As usual, I am always wanting to have pictures of my little man. I also love to have pictures of us as a family since we have waited so long to have a family. These pictures were taken a year ago by my friend Kerri. We were not too surprised when EJ did not want to cooperate. Being the mom who tries to plan for these moments, I thought I would bring along some apples to occupy EJ's attention and maybe help us get a few pictures. But, instead, he was all over the place.
A-manda Creation came out with a new kit, Bushels of Fun. It is centered around apple picking. Well, we don't pick apples in Florida except from the grocery store. So, I used these pictures for the double page layout. You can purchase the kit here.

Project 365 Update

For once in my life, I can say that I am ahead of someone with my scrcapbooking. I have used all the supplies available up to this point for my Project 365. I have completed through Week 29 which is in July. I also have my August Calendar filled in. I am know waiting on the designers to complete the kits that go with my Project 365 project. I can't believe the we are already into October almost. But I am loving this Fall weather. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Jungle Adventure

We went to an AnimalFest on Saturday. EJ was so excited about seeing the animals and playing in the water. He even wore his Thomas the Train swim outfit. Well, the animals were very few and from the humane society (dogs and cats). He did get to enjoy the bouncy houses. The water was in shoe box bins and he never even saw them. So much for the water play. The reason I wanted to take him to the AnimalFest was because Amanda Creation has a new kit called Jungle Adventure and I just knew there would be animals for the pics on these pages. Well, the page is filled with adorable animals so they are on the pages below. Stop by and pick up the kit here today.

Pretty as a Peacock

It is not very often that I think of EJ as a peacock. However, A-manda Creation has a new kit with the title Pretty as a Peacock. I chose to use pictures from an evening with The Lowes, aka Papaw and Grammi. EJ loves to go over to their house and play. We have "Lowe" Night every Thursday so this is a regular routine. This kit is very versatile. As you can see, I did not use any of the peacock embellishments but they would be perfect for that peacock sighting or time at the zoo, etc. You can purchase this kit here.

New Scrapbooking Kit

A-manda Creation has a new kit called New Orleans. It is great for those pics from the Big Easy. The pages and embelishments are all straight out of the city. I actually lived there for 2 years and wish I had digital images from that time of my life. So, since I did not have any New Orleans pics, I chose two of my guys eating Mary Jane candies. I hope you like. You can purchase this kit here.

Amanda is also having a sale at her store as well.

Head of the Class

A-manda Creation has a new kit - Head of the Class. Well, EJ is not really in school yet. I could have used daycare pictures but instead, I decided to use pictures of my classroom for this school year. It took me about 5 days to get it all ready for all my new students that started 6th grade yesterday. You can purchase this kit here. Hope you enjoy the pages.

Those Florida Mouses

Well, we went to Orlanda a couple of weeks ago to see The Wiggles. While we were there EJ decided he really like the two mouses that live there. My parents were watching EJ one day so I could go to lunch and shop with a friend. They texted me to ask who MinMe was. I did not know. But the next time we went through the Disney gates, we were greeted by MinMe and the Mouse.

A-manda Creations has a new kit out called Bow-Tique. It is full of pinks and purples, girly things and resemblences of the mouse. I could not imagine making a pink and purple layout for EJ but this one came out pretty good with MinMe and the Mouse. You can purchase this kit here.

Catch-Up

 Well, I have been busy for the past few weeks enjoying the end of my summer. I have two more days before the official work clock begins for the next school year. I have been scrapbooking but have been negligent on adding the pages here on my blog. So, I am going to post several today and tomorrow to catch up.

A-manda Creations has put out several kits in the past few weeks that have been great to work with. I have had to go back in time and use pictures that I have not scrapped yet. I don't think I will every catch up. The first kit is GIMME S'MORE. As the title suggests it is a S'mores kit with dark fall colors and great for the woods and camping. I did not have any of these since EJ has not tried s'mores yet so I choose a Mission Project we worked on one evening to spotlight. You can pick up the kit here.

A second kit that A-manda has put out for the summer is Banana Split. We actually gave EJ his first Push-Up Pop a couple of weeks ago so I decided to use these pictures with this wonderful kit. The kit has great summer colors and lots of embellishments centered around the ice cream theme. You can pick up the kit here.

Caught Up on Project 365

I can't believe I am going to post this as a Caught Up post. I have just finished the layouts through the end of June. I know we are at the middle of July but I haven't been able to purchase all of the supplies for July yet to complete those layouts. Plus I have to put together my pictures for each and every day.

But here are the final four layouts for June.

Project 365

I never realized how much we actually do the same things over and over but EJ just loves playing outside and especially with his Daddy. I do try and make sure we do something new each week but I guess my favorite thing to do is watch EJ play and have a great, relaxing time. I know how busy life can become so I want EJ to enjoy all his time as a little boy and I am enjoying each and every stage he is going through!

New Project 365 Post

Another week completed tonight. The house is so very quiet. It only took me one hour to complete this layout. I love having all these pictures of EJ and his Daddy. Hope you enjoy.

Moving Along on Project 365

Well, one more week down for 2012. I love having an hour or so day to get a page done. Trying to catch up with my scrapbooks before school starts back on August 20th. Here is the newest page - Week 20.

Project 365

I love scrapbooking EJ. It is neat to watch day by day how he changes and all the everyday activities that he does. Of course, some things he does over and over. I know that I am not up to this week yet but I will share our new fixation. EJ is now in the Big Truck stage. We have to look for big trucks any time we are in the car. It is even more exciting when Mom can find a whole lot of big trucks. How wonderful it is to see things through his eyes for the first time and every time after it.

Well, here are two more weeks from 2012.

Project 365

Here is another page down. The monthly calendar is my favorite page of the month but it is also the most time consuming. I love watching all the activities we have enjoyed each month and seeing EJ smiling at least once most every day!!

Project 365

Well, I once caught up for about 1 week on my Project 365. It has been nonstop around here since May with the end of school, Michael being with us, and then summer activities starting up in June. Finally I sat down yesterday and looked at my Project 365 book to see where I had left off. I didn't stop taking pictures. I have plenty of them. I just need to organize and start scrapping. So, here is the last week of April. I will be starting on May sometime next week. I have already organized the daily photos so now all I am working on are the layouts. Enjoying my little kiddo every single day!!

Superhero - Captain America

Amanda has begun a new Superhero Series in kits. She started with Captain America. It is very cute. Since my little Superhero is not into the capes and things yet, the colors worked great for our Memorial Day Family pictures. It is so nice having Michael home with us this summer. We are definitely enjoying every minute. I am finding it difficult finding time to sit down and scrapbook our adventures.You can pick up this kit here.

Glad You're My Dad

I have to say there were many Father's Days that came and went when we were not in the mood to celebrate. We love our Fathers and always celebrated that God had blessed Mike and I with great examples but we always wanted a child of our own. Well, for the second year, we have celebrated with the best of them. And to make it even better, Mike was home with us to celebrate this year. We spent time with extended family as well as with each other.

A-manda Creation has a kit entitled Glad You're My Dad that I used to make these two layouts. The colors are great for any layouts of your guys. I plan to use it again when showing off my men in their Sunday Best real soon. You can pick the kit up here at A-manda Creations store.

Main Sqeeze

As you that know me know, I have two main squeezes in my life, Michael and EJ. A-manda Creation has come out with a new kit entitled Main Squeeze. It is designed from the standpoint of a Lemonade Stand but is very versatile for any of your summer layout. You can pick up the kit here.

My Little Outdoor Artist

It has been a few weeks since my last posting. We have been so busy. The weather is great here and we are enjoying family time each evening with Michael. Amanda Creation has a new kit Outdoor Artist. I couldn't wait to use these pictures of EJ using his chalk outside. He loves to draw with any medium but chalk is always fun for him. You can pick up this wonderful kit here.

The Joy of Summer

Amanda Creation has a new kit she just released called Backyard BBQ. I had a tough time choosing pictures since we spend so much time outside. None of our pics were of a BBQ but this kit was good for any pictures with my little boy due to the bright colors. The embellishments are adorable for whatever you use them for. You can get Amanda's Kit here.
