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.

Scrapbooking

Yes I am still alive... just busy.  I found some time last night to do a quick page.  I used my Studio Calico January kit.  AND I am now officially done with my 2010 scrapping.  Now I need to spend some time sorting through 2011 photos and getting them uploaded to print.  Once I have them in hand I hope to get a good start on last year!

P.S. Susan I used your Xmas gift to make all the stitches!

Scrapbooking

A quick one I did last week... just now getting to post it.  I watched a Glitter Girl (Shimelle) video about layering on Two Peas and made this great layout.

Ashley and Riley

The hardest part of our move for Ashely STILL is leaving her best friend Riley.  She still misses Riley and is constantly asking to visit her.  I had to scrap this cute picture of the two on their last day of pre-school.  We miss you Riley!
