Scrapbook Summer 2013-February 2014

Today is my day off, so I am finally catching up on some scrapbooking. Now I didn't get all of these done today just 3 and tweaked 2, but I am happy to finally have something to post, maybe looking at these will motivate me to finish out 2013 {this is pretty hit and miss} and get through this summer fun. It's good to have goals. :) {August 2013}   {September 2013} {October 2013--1 page for each kid} {November 2013} {Christmas 2013} {January 2014} {February 2014}

Summer Catch-Up

My Muse finally struck again and I have been able to knock out a few pages lately. WAY behind on P365, wonder if I should give that up?!?! Feeling like a lost cause at this point...but these are some of my best pages to date!

{Capturing Leighton's Biggest moment. Asking Jesus into her heart and life!!!}

{July}

MW 2.5

Lo 4.5

February 2013

Man lots of fun in February. Getting closer and closer to catching up through our Spring that feels like Winter days!! Of course my new job that I just took on is stealing a lot of my free time, so it's a little slow going.

 {Sesame Street Live} We took both kids and it was a blast. MW loved it and had his eyes glued to the stage!

  

As always 2 pages for the time of 1!

Leighton turns FOUR! I can't believe it...I am still not over it and it has been 2 months. This layout is one of my favs! Inspiration from HERE.

Then we keep getting these freak winter/spring snow storms. This one or two was record setting 12+ inches in round 1 and another 7+ in round 2...lots of snow fun had!

Finally busting into my 2013 layouts. Yay!

{October 2012}
A special date night with Lo. I so wish MW would have came too! We always think he won't do well at these sort of things, but that TV addict would have probably done better than 50% of the kids there who were MUCH older I might add!

Sister and Brother collage 2012
{Leighton's copy}--All for one and one for all. My brother and my friend.

.

Brother and sister, together as friends, ready to face whatever life sends. Joy and laughter or tears and strife, holding hands tightly as we dance through life.

 The pages are obviously the same, but I changed out the quotes to fit each sibling. I was so pleased with each quote I found, so fitting and they worked so well with the layout, which was a happy accident totally intentional. :)

Micah turns 2!!! I love using all his 2 year old video quotes to capture this layout.

Scrapbook 2012 Pt1

Hello! Welcome to my new scrapbooking blog!
Why the change you ask?
Well, 1. because it will take up less MB on my other blog and
2. it can serve as place to answer questions that come up regarding scrapbooking.

I will eventually start moving have moved over past posts from my personal blog.

And now without further ado

You may notice these pages are the same...I have said it before, but one of the wonderful things about digi scrapbooking is you can make a few minor changes in photos and elements and viola two pages suited for each kid!

Scrapbook Pages 2011

 I am slowly getting caught back up again. I swear to myself every time I get "caught" up to stay that way, but something always seems to pop up like facebook. HA! To keep me from doing it. :)

 Here are the pages from the end of the year for our Family Scrapbook. The beauty of digi scrapping is I can print these pages 3x and get them in everybody's books. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. :)

{Christmas 2011}
I have SO many pictures from Christmas and all we did leading up to it. A good scrapbooker probably would have taken the time to scrap each "event." Me not so much. I love collages and just "threw" them all in one big Christmas Tradition Page

Santa!!

Christmas Eve--where I sucked it up big time, and left our camera at my MIL!!! Grrrr... And had to use our video camera to take pictures. Better than nothing? Maybe. ;)
A friend of mine, who rocks at photography, told me black and white is more forgiving of crappy pictures, so we shall see how this comes back from the printers...

Family Christmas Festivities. Haven't decided about this page yet...something different that is for sure.

Daddy's 30th Birthday. Dec 2010

Year in Review of Lo and MW. There were just too many adorable photos of them together to do just one brother and sister page, so once again the collage effect won out! Another perk of digi scrapping is I made Lo's page more girly for her and with a few clicks of the keyboard I popped in more boyish papers for Micah and viola in 3 extra minutes two pages.

I just love these two together, more than I ever thought I would. I know that sounds weird, but I just didn't know how the whole bro/sis thing would be. And boy do they love each other. I hope they will always be friends.

I still have a few pages from fall to catch up on and then I can finally start on 2012! I know you are all just thrilled for me. Thank you. ;)
