Birthday Fun

Thank goodness for my friends. If it weren't for them, I'd probably never get any scrapping done.

My very pregnant friend messaged me last night asking if I wanted to scrapbook this morning. Of course I did. It means I have yet to clean my house, but I got a page done.

I probably could've done at least one more, but my friends backyard opens up into the park, so of course the kids wanted to play at the park and needed mommy to push them on the swing for 20 minutes. It was a wonderful morning.

I've been working my way through the pictures I have on my hard drive and that means it's the year 2009 and I'm working my way through the months. Today's pictures came from child #3's 5th birthday!

I'll Always Be Your Little Boy

In one of my last posts you'll remember that I mentioned something about finishing a page, but then finding an error in it. Well it's taken me a good 2 weeks to get back to revamping the layout. I had it finished a couple times, but due to my program crashing and forgetting to save my completed work - I was back to square one.

I finally took some time this morning and finished it up. I'm still not in love with it, but it's better than the first go around.

Here's a look at the first layout:

You'll notice that I forgot the last 'l' in little. The words Little Boy also don't stand out much. I fixed both those issues and a few more in the completed project:

I decided I didn't like the frames I had used previously, so I found a couple that came with the kit and used those instead. The alphas that came in the kit were only in blues and pinks, so I recolored it with a paper included in the kit. I think it helps it stand out a bit more.

Newest Stuff

Just a couple more digi layouts for you. I actually have one more that I've done recently, but realized I made a HUGE mistake and forgot a letter in the title....so I get to start all over and redo the page. Hahaha.

The first one was made a few weeks ago, but I had to wait to post it because...Trixie of Trixie Scraps added a new store to her lists of places where she sells her kits and we had to wait till it was available at that store. That happened last week and so now I can share my layout. I was thrilled when I saw the kit and knew EXACTLY which group of pictures I wanted to use.

The next layout was made when I got together with a few of my friends for a scrapbooking night. It went well into the wee hours of the morning and THAT'S why I missed a letter in the title of the page I need to redo. This was the other layout that came from that night.
