it's a beautiful life

Ahh I squeezed in a little time for myself last night and completed this page.  Scrapbook Generation made it easy since I used one of their kits, but i tweaked it a lot to work with my pictures.

It is a beautiful life, make sure to take time for yourself and enjoy!!!  I know our kids and homes can take over our lives but it is up to us to not let that happen.  That load of laundry was still there when I was done with this page and it didn't complain when I started folding it.  But I sure felt better folding once I did something to make me happy first!

Two layouts

I am still cranking out the layouts!!  I am still working with papers I got from my last shopping spree at Scrapbook Generation.  Since I have quit receiving Studio Calico kits my layouts have gone back to my tried and true linear style.  Not as much fun stuff going on on the pages...but they are done and in my books!

Tractors and Summer smiles!

The annual steam engine show is still one of Dave's favorite.  I picked up some papers at my LSS Scrapbook Generation that I knew I could use for this page! Nothing too exciting but it's one for the books!

Trying to make up for doing a bunch of Allison layouts all in a row.  Ashley gets to steal the show with Brogan, what a fun day!  Again I just picked up these papers to get some summer layouts done.  I used a layout by Libelula for inspiration.

P.S. It's the most wonderful time of the year....Baseball playoffs....Go Cards!

Halloween too

I did a little bit of shopping this past weekend at my LSS Scrapbook Generation.  I tired to pick up papers for pictures I knew I had left to scrap.  I saw this great Halloween costume inventory paper and picked it up to document these two cuties costumes.  Ugh costumes.....I have not pushed my kiddos to decide what they want to dress up as and I really don't have time to think about it.  Anyone else there with me?  Allison keeps telling me she wants to be a mermaid...again?  Is it bad if I make her wear last years costume :)

Halloween

I am slowing working on my 2014 pile of pictures, my goal is to be done by the end of 2015.  Two more months to crank out some layouts.  December will be set aside for a December Daily Album but I still haven't figured out what I want to do this year.  Not enough time in the days!  These layouts came toghether farilry quickly and I used some of my stash!
