Scrapbooking

A quick layout with some My Minds Eye papers I picked up to use with these photos.

Big Cedar

I did this layout last week but I am just now getting around to sharing it.  I used my Studio Calico February kit Daydream Believer.

I can't believe this little girl is 18 months...we love her to death.  She is such a sweetheart.

Swim lessons

Ashley's first swim lessons...which I think helped tremendously with her comfort in the water.  I used my Studio Calico March kit Story Hour and a layout by Becky Williams for inspiration.

Allison Joy

A new layout with my Studio Calico April kit City Lights.  I used this Studio Calico sketch and this layout by Valerie Bishop for inspiration.

Scrapbooking

Finally a layout I can share.... I have been scrapbooking lots, just not stuff that I have wanted to scan to share.  Birthday albums, Ashley's school album, Project life for February, mini album from our San Antonio trip.  All hard to scan.  This layout I did this weekend at Scrapbook Generation's sketch session.  I was done with 2010 scrapping...well at least I thought I was.  NOW I need to dig into all those 2011 photos I have printed.

Hopefully I will have lots of new layouts to share soon... my Studio Calico April kit is calling.
