Yeah, it's going to be late.

With just 24 short hours to go until my nephew's first birthday...I've just finished scrapping his third month. His gift is clearly going to be a bit late...guess I'll have to send something a little more fun (like a cool toy) in the meantime.

Here's the latest that I used to scrap Judah's first year - Expecting by Dream Big Designs. Too bad his mom hid her belly in nearly every picture while she was pregnant with him, or I could have used this one for a great pre-baby page as well!


Isn't that sweet? There's enough pink and blue to make it work for either gender, and I'm a sucker for either one mixed with brown. And I have to admit, the little monkey greatly influenced my choice to use this kit:


Isn't he a precious little monkey? And he has the most amazing baby blues:


Seriously, click on that one to see it full-sized. That kid's eyes are incredible.

Like these? You can get everything you need to recreate them at Digital Scrap Cafe! As well as the Expecting kit (which is only $4.00), I used a template from Le Pingouin's Template Set 10 for the first page (coming soon) and another template from Template Set Big Pics for the second. Big Pics is $2.49 for four great templates!

More coming soon...it had better be very soon!

Working, working...

With one week to go until my nephew's first birthday, I'm working like a madwoman to get his first year scrapped (hooray for procrastination!) The latest two pages in his album were creating using the kit Family Sentiments by AVdesigns:


Isn't that perfect for family pages? There are so many great word art options, and the kit is only $4.19 at DSC. Here are my pages of the happy family:



The second page was made using a template from Le Pingouin's Template Set 9 - I just can't get enough of her templates! Snag the set of four for just $1.99!

Only a few more months' worth of pages to go... :)

It's OPENING DAY!

One of my favorite designers is back in business...with an all new name and at an all new store! Designs by Megan is now Jobry Creations, and her brand new store at Scrapable opens today!! Be sure to stop by and check it out!

While you're at it, how about planning to join us for an opening day speed scrap this evening? Just click on the image to get there:


It'll be lots of fun AND you can win some of her products - hope to see you there! :)

A little something different...

I know, I know, I need to be working solely on Judah pages from now until his birthday...but I had to take a break from the little cutie to do something with my own girls. (Okay, so Judah's sister still made it into one of these layouts.) Having finally had a white Christmas for the first time in years, it simply demanded to be scrapped.


Unfortunately, being cooped up inside so much during the cold weather means some inevitable schooltime blahs as well:


Would you believe that both of those pages were created using the same kit? Yep, check it out - Winter Wonderland by Susan Godfrey Designs:


I just love the vintage feel of this kit, and the versatility of the colors! The alpha and glitters are so much fun too - and you can have it all for just a few dollars at SusanGodfrey.com.

(Have I mentioned yet that I'm a proud new member of Susan's creative team?! I'm looking forward to showing you more of her creations soon!!)

More nephew pages...

Yep, I'm making progress, slowly but surely. For his 3-6 week pages, my little nephew was wearing the cutest little striped sleeper and hanging out on an animal print blanket...and I couldn't believe it when I searched for an animal-themed kit and found a perfect match! Check out Jungle Friends by Elker W. Designs:


And now look at sweet little Judah, getting to know his dad and sister...


Talk about a kit that's JUST right! There are so many more cute animal graphics that I didn't work into these pages - be sure to check the preview to see it all. Jungle Friends is perfect for little-kid-at-the-zoo pics too, and it's available for $6.49 at Digital Scrap Cafe!

It's crunch time!

Yep, I'm officially behind...my little nephew will be ONE in February, and I'm barely getting started on his first year scrapbook. I've actually done a couple of pages, but just am not in love with them...so here's starting over.

The kit I chose for the first couple of pages (two and three, just behind the title page) was My Boy by Double Dutch Designs. Check out this cuteness!



And here are the pages...fingers crossed that his mom doesn't happen to read my scrap blog. ;) Just click if you'd like to see them larger.

Isn't he just precious?! There are so many adorable elements in this pack that I'm sure I'll do another couple of pages with it later on. Want it for yourself? It's only $3.49 at Digital Scrap Cafe!

Both pages were created with templates from Template Set 8 by Le Pingouin Designs - coming soon!

Thankful...

Slowly but surely, I will catch up on holiday scrapping...I didn't take many pictures on Thanksgiving (too busy stuffing my face), but had to find a use for this super kit, Give Thanks, by Double Dutch Designs:


Isn't it great? I haven't found a use for the (live) turkey yet, but I WILL!


I'm so thankful to have had two wonderful little chef's helpers this year...it was the first time that Milly has really taken an interest in helping cook!


(This page was scraplifted from a great page I spotted on DigiShopTalk - big props to Jennifer Valencia on the original layout!)

Give Thanks is available at Digital Scrap Cafe for $3.49...you know, in case you're a little behind the way that I am. Or in case you want to be really prepared for next Thanksgiving. Either way. ;)
