Holiday Fun!

The holidays are always quite a busy time...
Visiting Santa

Trips to the Mall

Holiday Adventures in Town

The Gingerbread Wonderland

Visits to Rockefeller Center

Decorating the Tree

Celebrating Hannukah

Having a quiet moment under the tree


It certainly takes a lot out of you, but the moments are precious.
In between all of the activity, I have been trying to fit in some time to work on my December Daily album and I have also been working on completing my Fall and Thanksgiving layouts.
Here are a few:
Lots of Misting

Halloween Layouts...

It has been quite a Fall around here.
We got a little snow the other day and it is yes, still November!

Rudolph was happy about the snow!

Halloween came and went with Hurricane Sandy cancelling most of our Halloween activities. The weekend before the Hurricane luckily we got out and did a little trick or treating in one of the town's local trick or treat events..So I did get to capture the girls in costume..The year before was a bust too because we had a freak snowstorm that cancelled school and most Halloween events as well...Crazy!!!
I finished my layouts and now can happily say that I can move onto my December Daily..
I was fortunate enough to go to Michael's a few days after the storm and scored a bunch of embellishments and paper Super Cheap! Like a huge K&Company 12x12 paper pad for $2..Awesome!  I needed some Halloween paper so it worked out really well.
Here are a few:
This paper was from a SC kit, not Halloween, but when I see B&W like this, I immediately want to pair it with some orange.

Candy, Buttons, & Twine

Coordinating Paper with Clothes! Fun!

Martha Stewart Butterflies & Some Eyelash Trim

Added some Black Tulle to the pin up top

Love this pic!

Halloween always need some B&W shots!

Awesome B&W Pic!

My Beautiful Butterfly

Just too darn cute!!!

Whew!! What a relief to move forward..Scrapbooking is a job that never finishes...There is always the next season, holiday, and event to document..That is the fun..but it is a lot of work..isn't it??? But it is so worth it especially when your kids love to see their pictures years later...
Good Stuff!!

Sunflower Sisters

 Every Fall we go apple picking at a farm that has the most beautiful flower fields of Sunflowers and Zinnias that grow so tall and colorful. That is where we love to take pictures and when I found these sunflower outfits for the girls, I just knew we had to wear them when we were going there.



Don't get me wrong, apple picking is great fun too!



There is just something about Fall photos that are so much fun to scrap!!! I just love this time of year working on Autumn layouts and soon to come, Halloween projects..
I have a few October Studio Calico projects to share, as well.
Lots of Fun Color!

My Girls Together, my favorite!

The Changing of the Leaves....

It is kind of sad when I see the leaves start to change color and the greens all start looking dull outside, but the good news is that it is fun to take pictures of the girls in all of those colorful leaves.  There is one tree in our neighborhood that always changes color first and we make a point to go visit our "Fall Tree" when it starts to peak in it's beauty.  We snapped a couple of these pics on a nice warm day:




Speaking of the Great Outdoors, I have a couple of layouts to share from my older daughter's Summer Camp album.  I love that they have a pro on staff who takes pictures every day of the kids and they are wonderful as I get to see all of the fun my daughter is having all Summer long.  Here are a few:
So Proud of her!!

Good Friends

Lasting Memories

I also have some layouts from the Studio Calico September Kit to share.
LOVE these pics..stay little...Sigh....

Fun Summer Colors

Added some mist to this White Woodgrain Cardstock
