Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has plans to have a great Halloween! We have a soccer game this morning. In the afternoon we are meeting up at a friend's house for chili and cornbread and some trick or treating. Looking forward to spending time with family and friends today.

I just love this time of year with the cooler weather starting. Last autumn we we able to visit my sister and her family in Virginia where we got to experience playing in fall leaves. (No fall leaves here in AZ.) The kids were so excited to play with the leaves. I love how simple things can be so exciting for kids.

Here's a layout I just just put together celebrating play time in fall leaves from our trip to Virginia.Everything on the layout is from the Scrapbook Circle November kit.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Eve

Hope you are excited and ready for Halloween. We are all ready for some Halloween fun this weekend.

We have a Halloween party at church tonight. Chili, cornbread and too much candy. I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully I will be able to find a bag of peanut M&M's in one of my kids' bags.

I'm still having fun playing with wedding photos. Here's a look at another wedding layout.I love that we have a photo of all of the family together. I can't thing of the last time we all got into a photo together. Plus, I don't think everyone has ever looked so good!

Sparklers!

We have always spent 4th of July in Arizona. In Arizona it is illegal to use fireworks because it is so dry here. We are not even allowed to use sparklers.

This past summer, we went to Utah for the 4th of July and had a whole, fun world of fireworks opened up to us.

The kids LOVED getting to use sparklers. It brought back memories of summers at my grandparent's house in Idaho where we got to play with sparklers. I loved swinging them around and spelling my name.

It was exciting to get to share the fun with our kids this year.

A Few Favorite Wedding Photos

I just printed off a few of my favorite wedding photos from my sister-in-law's wedding. I have a photo printer at home, but I don't use it unless there are photos that I want to use right away on a layout. I wanted to use wallet sized photos for this layout and decided to do a quick print job at home.

It's always fun to get to create with new photos. I'm happy to have a lot of new wedding photos to play with.Everything (paper, stickers, journaling label. pearls and corrugated alpha) are from the Scrapbook Circle November kit.

Looking Back

Today I was sorting through photos in iphoto getting them ready to print. I decided to look back a year ago to see what I was up to.

Here's a look at a layout from the end of last October. I love that it has 8 photos on the page without feeling cluttered and it stars my kids and their cousins.

6

I've had this picture of Max sitting on my scrapbook table for a few months and I've been waiting for just the right time to do something with it. He just turned seven and I wanted to be sure and document all of his favorites at age 6 before I forgot everything.

So, here's a look at my sweet boy at the age of 6.
I really love using bright colored products on white cardstock. Love how it makes the colors really pop.
