Favorite Photo

These are two of my favorite photos! My kids were decorating the tree and love to play with an ornament that when you press the button it tells you if you are on the naughty or nice list. Emert was smiling because his sister got on the naughty list.

Everything in this layout is from my favorite designer-Elle's Studio. Absolutely love the Christmas paper, acrylics and wood veneers!

This is my favorite time of year and I love having a child that looks forward to seeing Santa! We have been going to this Santa since my son was 3 and they always take such great photos. He will be turning 9 next week so I'm not sure how many more Santa visits we will have-but am thankful he still believes now.

The paper is from MME, the wood embellishments are from Elle's Studio, and the title was cut using the holly and ivy cricut cartridge.

Fresh Fish

Another layout from our fishing trip to Canada. The journaling says "The great thing about a fishing vacation is eating what you caught for lunch" Even though he doesn't look that excited about it in the photos he did love eating the fish we caught that morning. I think he was just tired of me taking his picture! Everything is from Elle's Studio, except the title that was cut using the cricut cartridge, pack your bags, using some solid scraps I had lying around. I embossed the fish using the school of fish folder.

Wild Ride

We are back from our trip to Canada and I had such a blast fishing and loved the beautiful lakeside view-can't wait to start creating layouts from that trip. But meanwhile I am trying to finish up our trip to Walt Disney World last fall. I used the cricut cartridge dinosaur tracks to cut out the dinosaurs and used glossy accent to give them that fossil look. I used the cricut cartridge animal antics to cut the title and stickled it. The wood accents are from Elle's Studio and everything else was cut out using My Creative Time Dies.

Fun in the Sun

Love these photos of my son playing at the beach last summer, when he saw them he said he can't wait to go back to the beach! No sand this summer instead we are headed to Canada for a week long fishing trip-should be interesting!

The paper and embellishments are from Elle's Studio. The title was cut using the cricut cartridge pack your bags and summer celebration. I used flower soft to make the sand on the beach and sand castle.

Haunted Mansion

These are pictures from our Disney Trip this past fall. The great thing about Disney is they keep the kids entertained even while standing in line and my kids loved all the things to play with while waiting to get into the haunted mansion ride. I used the cricut cartridge, Happy Hauntings, to cut the title and make the mansion. I pulled out my edge punches and did the spider web around the paper. The web, spider and bats were cut using dies from My Creative Time.

Water Fight

I loved the new sunny days collection by Elle's Studio and couldn't wait to use it to make a layout. I thought it was perfect for these photos. This summer my son and the neighbor are obsessed with water balloon fights-it's their favorite way to cool off! The title was cut using the family album cricut cartridge and the balloons were die cuts from my creative time.

End of the rainbow

Happy St Patrick's Day--a little early! This is a big holiday at my house because the leprechaun always plays tricks and leaves treasures for Emert!

I started the layout with a white piece of paper, I used my cricut and cut a large shamrock out of it, and outlined it with stickles. I inked the paper and added words around it. I also used the cricut cartridge simply charmed to cut out the title.

I just loved the paper and fun embellishments I had gotten from Elle's Studio and was so happy to use them with these cute photos of my son from last Valentine's Day.

Snow Lodge

Wow I can't believe it has been a year since I blogged or participated in some fun challenges. I guess last year was busy and my scrapbooks got put on hold. But hopefully with a new year I will continue to make scrapbook pages and share them with you!

Everything on this page is from my favorite company Elle's studio except for the bling I added (it is hard to see in the photo) which was from my stash. I used the cricut cartridge Go Canada for the title and the cartridge snow day for the little guy with the igloo.
