We've been in full birthday celebration mode around here. With two of our kids celebrating birthdays a week apart, we've had two friend parties and a family party in the last four days. Good times!
On Hannah's birthday last Friday, I snapped a few photos of her and I really love how a few turned out. The pictures are evidence that she is growing so fast. Just a little too fast in my opinion, but I'm just trying to remember to enjoy each day and try to documents a few of the details along the way.
In my last post, I'd shared a few interview questions about Hannah and included all of her answers on this page. Someday I hope to have a cool typewriter that I can use for journaling like this, but for now the "American Typewritter" font in Word will suffice.
I used my Silhouette to cut the heart background of out grey cardstock. Every time I use the Silhouette I wonder why I don't use it more often. It really is such a cool machine!
Here along the bottom of the page I cut up a sticker that was a pretty big rectangle with the yellow stripes and words and spread it out along the bottom of the page. The words were prefect for this page, but the large rectangle was not the right size. Cutting the sticker into strips was the perfect solution!
I'm so thankful for scrapbooking and that it helps me preserve these memoires for our family. I probably wouldn't have taken the photo or asked the interview questions if I didn't love documenting our family. Of course, we'd survive without these details documented, but it sure is fun and interesting to get these things down on paper.

Happy 12th Birthday, Audrey!
It's a beautiful and sunny Friday here. Today we are celebrating my daughter Audrey's 12th birthday. I really can't believe how time flies.
We started off the morning with some homemade berry muffins and a few presents. One of her presents is to go and get a pedicure with me. Pretty much a present for me too!
I thought it would be fun to share a layouts I made for Audrey when she was born and on her first few birthdays. Although my style of scrapbook has changed quite a bit, I still love looking at the photos and reading the journaling. I'm so thankful for scrapbooking!
So thankful for these pages and the memories they bring back. I'm also grateful to be a mom to such an amazing, thoughtful and creative daughter!

My 15-Layer Cake!
My incredibly talented baking sister, Michelle, made an amazing cake for my birthday (in September.) I've been wanting to document the cake and I finally did a layout about it this weekend.
Since the cake had so many layers, I decided to go with that theme and layer a lot of paper together to create this layout. Lots of layers in the flowers and several layers of background paper.
I distressed all of the edges with my fingernail. I've decided that the paper distressing tools take longer to use and I have more control with my own fingers.
All of the paper is from Lily Bee and the alphas are from Cosmo Cricket and Jenni Bowlin.
P.S. Yes, the cake tasted as good as it looked!
