Happy Birthday To Will!

Just thought I would share a 2 quick pictures of my baby Will! Yesterday was his 2nd birthday! We had a fun day at home with the brothers and then dinner with Ema, Epa, and Aunt Michelle! I can't believe that he is 2!!

Little Ghost People

I just had to share these little ghost people that now reside on my front porch! My grandparents made them for my Mom years ago and they have now found their way to my house! We love our ghost people! Ben has even named them! The girl is Nicole and the boy is Luke. He has friends by those names and for some reason thought our ghosts should share the names! Ben is funny!

I also have a little stamping project to share as well! The boys and I went to a Halloween Party today and I wanted to bring a little something for the hostess! Unfortunatly due to camera issues, you'll have to see what the "little something" is next time I post! But, here is how cute the wrapping came out! Presentation is important, right?

School Scrappin'

I'm holding myself to my challenge to complete a layout each week! Ben got his school pictures back today and I think that they turned out great! I used the retired Primary Color Simply Scrappin' Kit to complete this page. I love how easy they make scrapbooking! Enjoy!

I miss scrapbooking!

I've been thinking a lot about scrapbooking latley. I used to be really into it but it has fallen by the wayside since I started making cards. Actually, I can blame it on that but it's really because Jonnelle moved! I really do miss it and her too! ! So, I have decided to challenge myself to do at least one layout a week! It will be awhile before I am caught up but with baby #4 on the way, I can't procrastinate any longer! Yes, if you haven't already heard, we are expecting our fourth child in March! I guess I'll be changing the name of the blog, huh! Any ideas??

Anyways, in attempt to get myself back into the scrapbooking groove, I saw this really cute idea somewhere and thought I could try it! I purchased the 8x8 frame at Michaels. The "grid" is actually the leftover chipboard from ON BOARD LOTS OF LETTERS. I cut it down to fit in the frame then sponged it with Close To Cocoa Craft Ink (because I didn't have any Chocolate Chip!). I then cut my DSP from the Mini Catalog (can't think of the name and my catalog is in the van!) and my photos to 2"x2" squares. I adhered all of this onto an 8x8 sheet of chocolate chip paper *NOT THE GRID* so that I can reuse the grid for other seasons! Smart, huh? Not my original idea but I love when others think for me! I stamped the saying Happy Blessings with More Mustard ink onto Whisper White CS. Then I mounted that on Baja Blue and Really Rust CS. I popped that into the frame and DONE! Love it!

I already have it hung right by my front door! Now I will be sure to look at it everyday and be reminded that scrapbooking isn't that difficult! And, when I am done displaying it, I can pop it into an 8x8 album! How cool is that?

Halloween Bags

I found these little bags on clearance at Michael's last week and thought that they would be perfect for a little Halloween Treat! I covered them with the Ghostly Greetings DSP and added a scallop punch and a few circles! I used the the little stamps from new Halloween set in the Holiday Mini! Enjoy!
