I Have Been Scrapping!!

I stayed up almost all nignt On Friday finishing up some pages that I started awhile ago and doing some new ones.

Let's start with the older pages:

This Danielle and Bethany these two love each other so much. I used some Sassfrass Lass anf Kraft CS, Bazzil Scalloped Black Cs, Sassafrass Lass.

I completed this page next page this Tuesday. We are enjoying this ride we are on with my nephew AJ there is never a dull moment. I love the way Danielle and AJ are bonding. It makes me happy that they are getting along.


This was for the Technique Challenge on Tiare's Blog. It was a Challenge on using brads I used a total of 24 brads on this page. I used Stampin Up CS Adn BasicGrey Scarlet Letter, my favorite line them, letter bead and Making Memories sparkle letters.

The other two challenges were using flowers and pattern paper. so here are my submissions for those....Join us at the ClassyScrapper Forum for more challenges.


I used Stampin Up! Black cs and some random sticker flowers, target dollar spot ribbon and bling word princess

I had fun doing the layouts and I also finally learned how to scan and stitch layouts. It was so easy I have no idea why I never tried this before. So here you have it my first three layouts for the year!!! I have been kinda busy to along with this project I also am finishing up some wedding thank you notes for friends. I used the Stampin Up! Top note Die for this...

I really like this die cut it is very versatile. I don't have a Big Shot but it works in my cuttlebug. I am considering getting a Cricut not sure which one yet nor am I totally sold on the idea..so time will tell.

That's all for now,

HIM


Is he the son we never had?

Is he here indefinitely?

Is he going to remember?

Is he going to leave a whole in our hearts when he's gone?


Just a few questions brewing in my brain over the last few months. My sister is in the service trying to start her life over. She dropped my nephew off to us in the beginning of November and it's been a joy for us all. I'm a little stressed out caring for the two of them but I am making it. He is just helping our family bond together closer. My husband values us doing things together as a family all four of us, and it's really good to see him with him...the son we never had. I know the Lord does all things well and he never makes a mistake...but I sure wish I could peek thru to the end of this chapter or just choose my own adventure (remember those books..lol i know I am showing my age).

Just some thoughts coming to a layout near you....lol

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Well we made to 2010! How many are looking forward to living in 2010? I am so gald I made it thorugh 2009, may obstacle and frustrations and issues, but the Lord saw fit to bring me through them and I am grateful!

Christmas was nice we went to my In Laws on Christmas Eve and the kids open their presents there and on Christmas Day we went to my Sister in laws, inlaw house which has been our tradition for the last few years. We had blast as always.

Christmas at home with the Danielle and AJ was interesting. Danielle was happy with her gifts. Aj on other hand was petrified of his toy and was excited as he opened it but when we turned it on he was running for cover. We bought him this Mickey Mouse helicopter riding toy that has flashing lights and propeller. Aj was not feeling that at all. We didn' take the toy back thinking he may come around but no dice yet. Here are some pictures of the kids opening their presents on Christmas.





Taking a new step with my scrapbooking we will see soon how all this turns. thanks for reading have a great day!

peace
