Who can resist a photobooth??

I know we can't!!  My daughter and I LOVE to hit the mall and do a little shopping and just have a good time (and maybe a latte!!). Scrappin Sports & More has an awesome family line that allows me to scrap our fun times at the mall so easily.  The papers are 2-sided. The "me" was cut from the word "mother"...how handy, huh?

What special things do you do with your kids?  I'll bet we have paper for that!!

Thinking Ahead

I was thinking about my mom today and decided to get a headstart on her Mother's Day card.  The Calendars Made Easy-May paper is perfect for the occasion!  The bright yellow flower pattern is springy, bright and works beautifully for what I wanted to do.  I used my Cricut to cut out the word "mom" and used the negative space from the cut to make my card.  I used the May paper as the background and to make the flower. 

Products Used:
#1283 -Calendars Made Easy- May

To make the flower, simply punch out 6 circles.  Make a small swipe of strong adhesive or put a small dot of quick drying glue (hot glue will work great, too!) onto one edge of 5 of the circles.  Then, just pinch each circle to create a petal and hold until the glue dries.  Once you have made 5 petals, glue them to the sixth circle.  I added a button to the middle to complete my flower.  Adding some ink to the edges would be a great addition, as well!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  We'd love to see how you use your Calendars Made Easy papers.  Leave us a comment and link us to your blog or gallery so we can see!

Book Titles

There are many books out there that tell a mother's love for her child.  One of my favorites is Love You Forever.  I don't think I have been able to read through that book once without getting a tear in my eye.  So when I was scrapping this page for my sister-in-law, Ashley, for her first Mother's Day, I thought this would be a perfect title to add.  I mean just look at my nephew, Nathaniel...how can you not love that face?!!  :)

In honor of ...

Mother's Day, a special lady, grandmother ... any wonderful woman in your life!  That's right, here at Scrappin' Sports & More we are kicking off May honoring women - that includes yourself!

Many women out there do not take the time to treat themselves because they are so busy taking care of their families or the details that make each day run smooth ... so make sure you take the time to thank yourself for all that you do for others.

Here is my layout about me:

Project 12: March Sketch

Wow - I cannot believe how fast this year is going and that we are already well into April!  These project 12 sketches are going to be great to look back at a 2010 recap!

Here is the fabulous PageMaps sketch for Project 12: March:

Here is my take on the sketch:

I had planned on using a lot of greens for this sketch, however none of photos really called for the green!  Luckily I had a lot of other papers and colors to pick from!

Journaling:

March 2010

Seth performed in his school's talent show with his speedstacks.  March was filled with snow and baseball - Seth is learning to pitch!  We painted our formal living and dining rooms -aka- my scraproom, office and Seth's game room. 

THEN I realized I forgot some journaling so I added it to the back:

We also found out one of Seth's best buddies, Peyton was moving to MN - Seth was devastated!  It was two weeks of sleep-overs and playdates!  Luckily, they are planning a visit back to CO in May and are hoping to be back in CO within a few years!
