Work in Progress

Please Note: Blog Archives are at the bottom of the page.
I started this blog on June 14, 2012. I plan to post my previous scrap pages, from the most recent > working backwards; and add new scrap pages as I create them. It could take awhile, as I'd scrapped nearly 400 pages prior to starting this blog. Each one was the best I could do with the photos I had on the day it was made, and each has special meaning to me.

As soon as I saw you...


My niece posted this photo on Facebook and it made me laugh out loud, for real. It looks like Hayden is thinking, "Yikes, Tyler ... stop with the crying already!!" That's not what was really going on but I had fun scrapping this pic and telling a story of what might have been going on in his head :)

Hayden has this "trick" he does .... he shows his muscles like he's a little body builder. It's really funny. You can watch a short video clip of Hayden doing that (taken two months ago, so he was a bit smaller).

In the photo (above) that I scrapped Hayden was actually "showing his muscles" to Tyler, trying to distract him from crying. It wasn't working, haha. When I made the page I was aiming for kinda crazy ... like "2 boys = all heck breaks loose."

I made the two main background papers myself in PSP, using colours from the photo. For elements I used two of my favourite boy kits ... 'Boys Only' *the bundle with the wordart and paint splats (collab by Marie H Designs and Craft-tastrophic) and 'Boys of Summer' (by Ziggle Designs). I used one journal from 'Boyish Summer Journaling Cards' (by Erica Coombs), but I recoloured it to match my page.

Cute as a Bug


These photos of my adorably cute grand-nephew Hayden were taken a few days ago by my niece Shannon. I think the pics are awesome and as soon as I saw what Hayden was wearing I knew I had the perfect kit for this.

I used 'Boys Only' (collab by Marie H Designs and Craft-tastrophic) ... I loved it so much I bought the bundle. I know I'll be using this kit over and over.
