Welcome Wyatt Herve

So before to many of you had a chance to guess at what we were having I took this layout off of my blog and now I`m sharing it with you. -A

One for the road...

I know, I know...for those of you that are keeping up with my blogs I haven't posted much on my scrapbooking blog.  It's just been hectic around here with baby due, getting ready for the arrival of this little one, all the appointments, keeping this house running, and just the daily day to day stuff that I haven't had too much time to scrapbook.  That and anything I've been making is premade for this baby so all I have to do is take pics (and I refuse to spill the beans on what gender this one is until the birth LOL!)  So before I head off camping for the week (and no, I'm not bringing scrapbooking stuff with me this time, sigh) here's one I've made up for when we bring baby home.  I love Doodlebug Designs!  Here's another DD layout with their new paper line On the Go.  What can I say I love the whimsy, kiddie designs.  It's just totally me.  Enjoy!

My Space

I don't think I've ever shared a picture of my scrapbooking area (probably because I've been so busy organizing, dunging out, and it around) so while I was taking some pictures of the boys I thought "hey, my area isn't a complete disaster today, let's take a picture" LOL!  I still have lots of emptying out and such to do, but it is starting to take shape : )

Just sharing...

So it's been a while since I've posted anything and don't think that I'm not scrapping because I have been.  I'm just finding it difficult to finish up my pages with some journaling, special poems, or finding dates again : )  Hopefully soon I will get my container of "to be finished" layouts finished and be able to start all over again, but when that bug hits you, you all know that things get pushed aside and I just have to create something new.  I've been working on some premade baby layouts for after this baby arrives so all I have to do is worry about the pictures.

For right now though, I thought I'd share a new layout using the Doodlebug Mother Nature line.  These pictures I took last year of Preston and I've been looking for the perfect paper since.  This line is so cutesie and just makes you want to do your part to save the earth : )

Enjoy!

Finally!

After waiting patiently (yeah right!) for the new Doodlebug Barnyard collection to come out I have finally created a layout with the papers.  I love this line!  Heck I love this company!  Anyone who knows me knows I love the whimsical, kiddie style that DB creates.  And I have to send a big shout out to a great gal, Amber who inspired me at the Brandon Scrapbook Convention to start using some tools I've had in my stash for a couple of years and have forgot about.  The first is my edge distresser.  I totally forgot I even had one (ummm...sorry 2 LOL!) and now find myself using it a little more.  I am having so much fun ripping and tearing and making a mess...It's great!  I've even put it into my tool caddy so that it's always on my table and easily accessible.  The second is my craft mat which I bought for a specific use I was taught from a class and never actually did that technique again since I never bought all the other product at the time.  It was to do with distressing inks and I still don't own any to this day LOL!  I was digging for my photo paper and saw it yesterday and took it out of the box and used it with my gimmer mists instead.  I think I'll be using it lots more with my stamping as well!
