Vroom vroom!

Hey, mama...what do you drive? No matter what your mom-mobile may be, you need to document it now...so you can remind your little ones when they're grown what you used to chauffeur them around in. Constantly. Check out this kit - Mom's Taxi, by Simply Scrappy:

How much fun is that?! Okay, the first thing I did was completely scraplift my fellow CT member, Stacy. You can see her original layout here. Or you can just keep looking, because I really did just shamelessly copy everything but her actual journaling and background paper. Hey, sometimes a layout is just too perfect not to have for your very own. ;)


You can click to see it full-sized, if you're so inclined. So, after completely ripping off Stacy's page, I thought I should do something a little more original with it, and here's what I came up with:


Heehee! I'm a little giddy over it. My pages usually aren't that busy, but I had a great time piecing that together. :) So, if you GO GO GO too...head on over to Elemental Scraps and pick up Mom's Taxi! You can have all of the elements, papers, worn papers, and even some templates for $7. Have fun!

So precious...

So, last week I finally got to meet, in person, my sweet little nephew that lives on the opposite end of the country. He's such a precious baby! I've been working on scrapping his first year as a first birthday gift, although I'm not doing them in any particular order. So even though he's six months old now, I think I'm finally happy with these two newborn pages.

NOTE: Should my wonderful sister-in-law stumble across my scrap blog, she should probably skip this post, so as to be surprised come February-ish. :)

I'm forever on the lookout for great baby boy kits...having two girls, I have NONE in my collection. I prefer kits that are baby-ish but not super cutesy...clean and classy is my goal for my nephew's album. Sweet Pea Whimsy (boy version) by Ruby Lane worked nicely for these pages:


This kit is on sale now for $4 at Funky Playground, and there's a ton of cuteness to work with! Here's what I did...



Whew, these BOY pages just don't come as easily to me as girly pages. Guess it's all in what you get used to, huh? More to come!
