Chelsea is 19

This is the layout of my daughters 19th birthday... I always do a photo session on my kids b-days for their Birthday scrapbooks. Love how this turned out.

Page from Donna's baby book

When one of our pals have a baby...we all get together to make a baby album. I chose February. I already had this paper that I was dying to use...it's too cute. I also decided right away that I had to use these adorable cuts from the Simply Charmed cart. The title "love bug" was also from this cart. What made this layout even more stressful was that it was for my pal Donna...who owns my fav scrapbooking store...who is also an amazing scrapbooker and card maker.Now I know she loves everything people make for her and the thought that went into it...but she's not exactly one of those non-crafters that are impressed by anything. Anyways...I love how it turned out...and I can't wait to see it with a pic of her adorable baby boy. Thanks for dropping by...

6. Cricut carts-Simply Charmed, Create a Critter  and Designer Calendar

Easter card 4 Donna

I made this card for my pal Donna. She was haunting me on one of our Scrap n Yap days about the fact that she was making all these Easter cards for friends and family and I wasn't planning on mailing out any. I felt this was a tradition that I didn't want to start...I do make cards for my kids and the kids that I give Easter presents too, but I didn't want to send out Easter cards like I do at Christmas. She nagged and nagged...and I didn't give in...OK so I made HER a card...she's pregnant...you're not supposed to upset a pregnant person...So Donna...here's your @#$%$#@ card...

Wow...100 posts...I can hardly believe it. This layout is for my son's school book. I add a page every year...as I do for my daughter. It turned out well...even without the bling. Donna from Dat's suggested this paper line...she was right as always.
