A true story

I can't believe I haven't scrapped this story before, because it's one I tell often. It was the perfect topic for today's Digichick Blog Challenge (get yourself over there and check it out - great prizes!!!!). I used the beautiful French Laundry kit by Pixel Gypsy.

Owen really is adorable

and I have to keep telling myself that when he is into EVERYTHING!! I so love this photo I took of him last weekend when we were celebrating his birthday with all his cousins. I used the brand new Everyday:Boy by Elise's Pieces, on sale today and tomorrow at The Digichick!

Updating my blog today

So please pardon my dust - it should look all pretty again by the end of the day!

Brother and Sister

I know I've mentioned blog challenges at The Digichick in the past - but seriously, if you've not joined in any, you should definitely try it out! Today's challenge includes a fantastic freebie template by the amazing Heather T. This month we're celebrating Beginnings and Endings, and all the challenges will revolve around that theme. Lots of great prizes, too!! :)

Here's the layout I did for today's challenge. When I first saw this kit, Sunkissed: Sunset by Jenn Labre a couple weeks ago, I immediately fell in love with it, but I didn't have any photos that came to mind right away that would work with the kit. When I read today's challenge, it immediately clicked, and here's what I came up with:

Hope you like it!

Check out my adorable baby boy

who turned 2 yesterday! This layout uses the adorable new kit Play by Mari Koegelenberg and Lil' Digi Bits by Jude:


And this second layout was created with the brand-new kit Tumbleweed by Kelley Mickus. It was the perfect kit for one of my favorite photos from our honeymoon.

A Productive Weeekend!

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you so much to all the men and women who have fought to ensure our freedom.

I took Friday off from work and ended up having a really productive four day weekend - spending time with the kids (including a fun trip to Old Navy with Alexa), cleaning the whole house, and being crafty! Alexa and I made some really cute paper flowers and we set the kids up to fingerpaint on the deck - I definitely have some layouts to do - what a fun mess that was!

I did find some time for me and did these two hybrid projects using templates from Kelleigh Ratzlaff's May Grab Bag. The seed packet features the Tangled Twirls kit by Design by Heather T, and the soap box was made with a paper from Stenciled Papers - Two by Roben-Marie Designs. Oh, and one of our cute paper flowers! :)

Slices of life
