Bikes and Pranks

I have two layouts to share with you.

We got an Xbox one for our son for Christmas two years ago and had his big brother come set it up. We wrapped the empty box and than acted surprised that there was nothing in it. We'd ordered it from Amazon, so we said we needed to contact them. We asked, "When we get them to send it, where will you set it up?" He said he'd put in on the surround sound unit. We said, "Show us," and had him show us. When he opened the cupboard and saw it all set up and ready to go, he was so excited.

We are just a little bit evil.

 The snowman is a gift tag.

 I love these Thickers.

 I added some old MM metal charms.

 After he'd finally mastered riding without training wheels, we bought him a new bike.

 I used letter stamps, a bike stamp, and a Stampin' Up stamp using Close to My Heart white ink.

Wheeler Farm

I completed three layouts from 2006, and all of them are pictures from Wheeler Farm. I had to make a page for each of the children in the photos.

The first page is for my son, Matthew. He and Aliese are so little in this. Big sister Caitie was right there helping them.

This page is for my daughter Caitie. She is such a good big sister and aunt.

This two page layout is not as yellow as it looks in the picture. The background paper is white. This was created for my granddaughter, Aliese. She is only eighteen months younger than Matthew, and he makes such a cute little uncle.

Getting into the Routine

Matt and his daddy went to Legoland a few years ago, and he wore the scorpion home to show me.

  This other face paint didn't make it home.

I struggle with two page layouts and avoid doing them when possible, which means I have a bunch of pictures that need two page layouts. I guess I better get to it.

The Lego tag is from a Lego shirt - the yellow one in the pictures.

His admission ticket.

This is my sweet Grand daughter, Kayana. She loved this little doll and said it was her sister. Now she has a baby brother, so I haven't heard about Lily for a while.

  This is my lovely daughter Caitie and her family. She is a good sport and made a little outfit for Lily to wear for family pictures.

I Created Some Pages August 2015

Other than making cards, it has been a long time since I created any scrap pages, but a few weeks ago at a yard sale, I bought a box with five 8X8 albums complete with page kits. I don't scrap 8X8, so I used them to create 12X12 pages. This was probably purchased off QVC. So far, I've only started using the blue album, which has a season theme, and created two single layouts and two double layouts, so six pages so far. I'd say that I've already gotten my five dollars worth. The page kits have paper, embellishments,and ribbon and are separated by pages, so I grab a page, find pictures that have that color scheme, and then along with a few things from my stash including the 12X12 paper, I sit and create.

The flags, journal box, folder tab, letter stickers, and white paper are from my stash.  

 The acrylic circle stickers, rubons, yellow, and white paper are from my stash.

 Blue background paper, snowflake stickers, blue circle sticker, and acrylic snowflake are from  my stash.

 Angie and her family grace this layout. Only the flowers are from my stash and the pink and brown background paper are from my stash.

January Scrapping

I've got six new layouts done.

This was Matt's favorite attraction at Disneyworld. It was one intense show.

 Kayana, Caitie, and Matt on Halloween 2013. It took over a year for the wash out spray to come out of Kayana's hair.

The journaling on this one is hidden as he had a hard teacher experience during 5th grade.

 The tag was from clothing - thanks, Angie. The penny was from a bookmark someone gave me years ago.

 This is were Matt spent the majority of his time at Universal Studios in Florida. I sat and read while he played in the water. I think I got through two books.

 Matt's birthday. He wanted all the kids to come for a sleepover and then go to church with us for his birthday. He also wanted everyone to dress up - but hey, it is always good to get more mileage out of Halloween costumes.

 This tag came from clothing I bought several years ago. I just added some old chipboard (painted red) and a fabric tag.

 Angie's kids have an amazing aunt who makes the most wonderful cakes for their birthdays. They are so lucky. This is Callie's fourth birthday and her very cool Ariel Cake. This little girl has so much personality.

 This also has a clothing tag with Ariel stickers added.
