Happy Birthday...

Mom, have a nice day xx

Well I've finally got round to doing a bit of scrapping and created this layout the other day featuring my youngest son on his 7th Birthday. Now if there are two things I hate scrapping about it has to be Birthdays and Christmas because they just end up looking the same. To combat that problem I decided I was going to concentrate on my what son loves at the tender age of 7 and get him to do the journalling. OK little did I know he was going to write so big that the list had to be edited somewhat but I do love the fact I have his handwriting on this layout forever and its something I'm going to continue to do for both boys.

I also managed to make my Mom her Birthday card but I'm still debating about tackling my son's!!

Supplies: DCWV cardstock, BG Lemonade, AC ribbon, Hero Arts sentiment stamp, Martha Stewart butterfly punch and Prima flowers.

Oh Dear!

Has it really been so long, whoops I haven't really done much crafting as I've become totally obsessed with the PS3 and Burnout Paradise.

However, I did manage to make my Mom & Roger an Anniversary card for yesterday, talk about cutting it fine as I only started it on Wednesday and I'm not the quickest crafter in the world lol.

Supplies: Core'dinations cardstock, BoBunny & Hero Arts stamps, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, AC ribbon, Fiskars threading water punch and Heat It Up sea foam white embossing powder.

I also want to make my son's his birthday card only it fills me with dread cos I want to get it right and usually when I try really hard I end up with a mass mess, I'm thinking monsters but all suggestions welcome.

Time Flies

Where does the time go, today I scrapped this photo of my eldest son's first day at High School which was nearly 12 months ago and it doesn't seem 5 minutes since he was toddling around.

It never dawned on me that he had grown up so much until I saw him that morning ready to start a new chapter in his life, these moments are often sad but fill me with great pride that he has grown up to be independent, strong and well balanced.

The next one is of my youngest son getting to grips with his camera just like Mom and I couldn't resist snapping him in his camera pose, I'm not overly impressed with the layout and quite possibly another one will be made in the future to replace this one.
