Cotton Fields Mississippi November 2013

I actually scrapped! I have had a long break from scrapbooking. The depression has gotten the better of me along with exercising and couponing. I love this layout! I went to Mississippi to my sisters wedding. I had sucha great time and got to visit a cotton field again.

I used Crate Paper Maggie Holmes collection.

Days Like These with Dear Lizzy kit Lucky Charm

Here is my latest page! It has been forever it seems since I created a page. I have been wanting to use the days like these cutting file. I love how big it is. Aidan makes me happy. I love how he wants me still. We had such a fun day at the garden center looking at flowers and trying to decide what to get. The little kids still find such things fun. The big boys are not as into that anymore. They are growing up too fast but at times I am grateful for how mature they are. Well enjoy! I am hoping to get more done soon!

KI Memories Flashback layout of Aidan

I love my newest layout! I used KI Memories Flashback collection for this layout! A couple of items are from October Afternoon 9 to 5 line. I also used my Silhouette to cut out the Hello heart from Karla Dudley. This layout just really came together fast! I am loving the KI line and wish I had bought more. I went to Two Peas and purchased more that they had. I would love to have a scrapbook store that would get in the new stuff I love, not just what is sent to them. I am still enjoying the therapy aspect of paper scrapping again.
I love how Aidan is now so interested in my taking photos of him. He actually looks and smiles now! I love how the photos of him in his diaper came out. The lighting was perfect. The buttons are actually in a different place than the photo. I could not find my glue dots anywhere. I finally went to the store and bought more! I glued them down in a higher position and closer to the photo. I feel like I am always learning when I scrap. What works and what I like and what I wish I had done differently. I know if I had an unlimited budget for scrapping I would add more to my layouts. I need to practice adding more layers still. Maybe next time!

I actually have gotten around to making new layouts! I love scrapbooking! The top layout is about how Brevan loves to read. I love that Kip takes the time to read to him. It is important! The middle layout is about Brevan being so full of life and wonderfullness! Is that a word? He loves life and really loved this crown he got from church. The last layout I copied from an online layout but I am not liking it as much the way I made it. I had to change my design up because I accidentally spilled ink on the background paper. I did not want to try and find another that I thought went with everything. This will teach me to buy two papers exactly the same :) As I am comparing myself of course to others online there are things I would like to improve in my scrapping. I am trying to tell myself though that my children of course will just be glad that I did it not that I was the most amazing scrapper of all time! Practice makes perfect! Well off to study more layouts and decide what thing to try next!
