"AMM-June Kit"


We are having a nice, sunny day here yesterday compared to yesterday's rainy, gray day. It almost felt like a dark, fall day..
This weekend we spent lots of time at the pool:

and finally had a family photo taken of all four of us:


I also got to finish up some 4th of July layouts that I had wanted to get done using the AMM June Kit and some Rusty Pickle papers.
.

I have also come to the realization of two things after all these years of scrapping:
1. I suck at stamping, nice clean lines..My stamps are always splotchy and uneven.
2. I hate working with Glimmer Mists..I never like what I do and I am always disappointed.

Oh well, I guess I will just keep working on it...
Have a great day!!!

Michael's finds and a Shadowbox

Is there anything sweeter those those first few smiles??
well maybe this..

I can't believe the little one is 8 weeks old today..my little luv bug.


I have been working on a shadowbox using my "A Million Memories" June Kit. I had been saving it until I found just the right photo to use. I got the idea and quote from a back issue of "Scrapbook Trends". I think it came out really cute.



I went to Michael's and found some really cute Helen Dardik 4th of July papers:
These will be really great for the photos I have from the holiday.

I also scored a bunch of that new MM Vintage Findings line:


I got a couple of the little kits that have themes like: "school", "girl", "baby", & "travel" and they had lots of great little trims and accessories.


I am not sure exactly what I am going to use these for, but I am sure I will figure something out. Off to scrap!! Have a great Wednesday!

It's been tooooooo long!!!

So sorry, Mr. Blog..But, I do have a good excuse for this two month lag..

Introducing Ms. Bailey Paige!
Born May 20, 2009
4 lbs. 14 oz. ---18 1/4"
"my little peanut"

But, she is happy, healthy and loves to eat. She is already about 9 lbs..

Plus, this little/big one has been busy as ever..
Here she is washing her dolls in the sink!!!

Then we had the fourth of July holiday with friends in, fireworks shows, parades and BBQ's to attend..


But, amid all the chaos, I have been able to get some scrapping in.
Here are some layouts from the "A Million Memories" July kit, which I have to say is one of my favorites to date. There was lots of fabulous new Basic Grey and Prima goodness going on here, which was just perfect for all of my baby pictures that I have been taking lately.


That is all for now..Mr. Blog, I promise I won't leave you alone for so long again.
Have a wonderful day!
