"Valentines layout"

Last week Erin (store owner) from Sweet Memories Scrapbooks gave the design team some holiday paper to work with. That's right, Valentines is right around the corner. Can you believe it??!!!! The time has come to share the love.LOL! So when I was thinking about what to do with this paper, I remembered a photo I took of my dad with the kids this past summer. I have been holding out on this picture for sometime now, but knew at that moment I needed to scrapbook this adorable moment of them. I know it's just a picture of them sitting in a chair, but the times they spend with their Papa Eddie is true happiness. I do believe this is what true LOVE looks like!!!!! Just like this quote says, “There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.” -George Sand

A card says it all!

It's not often I get the chance to work on cards. So the other day I sat down and went to work on a few. It's nothing like working on a layout to me. When it comes to cards I can honestly say it's a bit of a challenge for me.

Do you have scraps? DON'T get raid of that unused paper. Like most of us I'm sure it's sitting around in your scrapbook room collecting dust or in a container somewhere just waiting to be used right? So pull it out and start using it. Make cards with it!! Trust me when I say, you'll be surprised when you see what you have been putting away all this time!

Spend sometime today an scrap happy!

My favortive time of the year to scrap!

So now that Christmas has come and gone it's time to get busy and scrapbook those wonderful memories. I really should think about making a Christmas album just for these layouts. It seems every year I take 400 pictures at Christmas then find it so hard to only pick a few to scrapbook. Next thing I know, I  have scrapped them ALL and over half the album has Christmas in it. So this year I promised myself I was only choosing a few. With the kids help I picked out the ones that meant a lot to them. Here are some layouts I have worked on over the past week.

Hope you have enjoyed some of my layouts with some

of the best scrapbooking products

I love and enjoy using!

 Happy Scrapbooking.

"The Joy of Christmas"

Wow, I love this time of year. It's so nice to have family & friends to share this wonderful holiday with. Christmas Eve we spend the night celebrating what Christmas really means, and at the same time having a "JOLLY" of a time with Christmas music, food, and seeing the joy on everyones face.

(Alexis loved this Santa dancing!)

(Alexis Making sweet Christmas music)

Later that night it was time to head home to prepare for the JOLLY man himself, old St Nick. The kids put out his milk & cookies then headed to bed.

They topped the night with a tradition we do around here, the reading of

Twas The Night Before Christmas.

Then off to bed they went. All tucked in their beds and off to sleep they went! When they woke up the next morning to their surprise Santa had came!

To see the joy in their eyes was the best
Christmas present I could ever ask for.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with love & joy in their heart!

I wish you ALL a Happy New YEAR!!!!!

-ME  :)

Time to make the cookies!

Yep it's that time of year when the kids & I pack into the kitchen and make our holiday cookies for family & friends. Every year since Joshua was a little man (old enough to help) we would bake all kinds of cookies just days before Christmas. Now that there's two of them things get done a lot faster in the baking department, but longer in the cleaning area lol. But it's all worth it. Making memories & spending time with the family is what it's all about. I hope you all are enjoying the holidays and making holiday traditions of your own.

Now, I need a Christmas cookie hehe!

Happy Holidays!

"Ice Skating with the family"

Sunday we decided to take the kids Ice Skating. The kids had such a great time Joshua is counting down the days til we go again.A few days later we all went roller skating for the 1st time as well, and Joshua has made it very clear ice skatng is MUCH easier then roller skating lol.

If your in the Atlanta area, check out the outdoor Ice Skating. It's a blast!!!!

"A few to share"

Sorry I've been MIA once again, but it's the holidays. It's so hard to keep up with everything with all the Christmas craziness going on around here.. I'm trying to post as I can. So please forgive me :) On a good note I hve been scrapbooking. It's the only thing that keeps me sane from all the crazines lol. It's the best therapy a girl can get around here.  I throught take some time and share with you some of the layouts I have been working on.

In these layouts I have used some quality scrapbook products like Sassafras Lass-Monstrosity, BoBunny - Gypsy Collection, Crate Paper - Seasons, and October Afternoon - Report Card. Of course these are a few of my favorite paper lines. Hope you are enjoying your day. Have a wonderful weekend and keep on scrappin!!!

Love this time of year!

 Sitting around the tree drinking hot chocolate and watching one of my favorite Christmas shows on tv. I remember watching this as a little kid. Now I'm enjoying it with two of my favorite kids in the whole wide world. Sharing the same moments with them as I did as a child make it so much sweeter.

It's little moments like these that I LOVE!

The tree is FINISHED!

Finally got the tree all decorated. After days of hanging lights, putting ornaments on, and adding finishing touches here and there it's done!

Hope you feel Merry & Bright this time of year!
