Paper Scraps

Gender reveal party...

2011-03-09T11:59:00.000-08:00

I am in the middle of attempting to plan a gender reveal party for a good friend of ours. I am a firm believer of invites, and I did some googleing and saw something I like, and used some inspiration to make one similar. The date isn't the actual date of the party as it has not been picked yet, but I put one down so I could let the mom to be visualize it. I think it's super cute! Oh and turn your head sideways.

CM blues....

2010-08-13T05:56:00.000-07:00

I digital scrap with the Creative Memories program, which I LOVE. When I started digi scraping I was excited that CM had free digital items each day, but recently this summer they switched from doing freebies everyday, to just a grouping on fridays now. You have to download all of them, not just what you like. I hate this format. It's my opinion too, that the freebies are not as good as they used to be. Maybe it's just not my syle. Sure wish they would have some better stuff in the groupings or let you pick what you want and not download useless stuff. My go to for freebie hunting these days is this website:http://digifree.craftcrave.com

Laura's Ballet Camp Pics

2010-08-07T17:22:00.000-07:00

Laura did a one week ballet camp. She liked it, but wasn't crazy about ballet. She would much rather do gymnastics right now.

Spring gymnastics show

2010-08-06T19:23:00.001-07:00

The items I used for this layout were freebies from a blog train. Side note I discovered today that I had not finished a 2008 book, and attempted to scrapbook the old fashioned way. Total pain in the butt. Much rather do it this way that's for sure...

Halloween Day

2009-11-08T16:57:00.001-08:00

These are quick pages because I loved the non-scary colors, and theme the creator of these layouts did. Perfect for my little girls! I found these quick pages here: http://scripscrapp.blogspot.com/2009/09/boo-to-you-kit-qp-freebies.html

There were three freebies, and the other one I used in a layout I posted earlier.

Preschool Parade Pics

These pictures are from my two older daughters preschool halloween parades. The second page is a Quick Page, but the first one I did.

Peaks of Otter trip

2009-10-25T04:41:00.000-07:00

I did these pages on my own without Quick Pages....all freebies, from other blogs....I am so backed up with printing my pages... I still have not printed my beach trip pictures from Nags Head...

2009-10-24T10:24:00.000-07:00

This is a quick page, that is super cute, but I can't remember where I found it, but another blogger made it. These pictures are from a church fall festival at my children's preschool.

One more from the patch...

2009-10-12T17:03:00.000-07:00

The big pumpking with photo window can be found here :http://bygonesscrapbooks.blogspot.com/

I put it on a brown paper I had in my freebie stash, and added the title and ribbon which are other freebies from blog land...

More Pumpkin Patch Fun...

2009-10-12T16:43:00.000-07:00

This is a quick page layout and I got it here: http://kayjaysdays.blogspot.com/2009/10/through-patch-blogtrain.html

I did add some embellishments that of course I can't remember where I found them, but oh well.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

2009-10-12T16:35:00.000-07:00

This is a quick page layout I found through Ikea Goddess and the Pumpkin Patch embellishment is a freebie I found somewhere in blog land...

QP

2009-09-20T10:12:00.000-07:00

I did this one with the QP from the same kit and blog listed in my last post... However, the frame around Rachel (the baby) is a freebie from CM's site, and the bling cluster is a freebie from CM as well... The page title is also a CM freebie.

Gymnastics part 2

2009-09-20T09:54:00.001-07:00

These pictures are from Laura's last gymnatic session. Most kids brought one or two parents, we had both grandparents, Dave's brother and sister, and all of his cousins. Laura really enjoyed gymnastics, and loved her teacher.

This kit was a freebie that I recently found here: http://rebeccabdigiscrapper.blogspot.com/2009/09/friday-on-my-mind-kit-freebie.html
It's a super cute free kit, and she has an alpha, and even a QP freebie as well.

The flower bling by the title is a CM freebie, and the font I used was Girls Just Want to have fun downloaded for free at the dafont.com

Emily's Party

2009-09-13T15:36:00.000-07:00

Emily turns 1 on the 17th, but we did her party this weekend since my husband was off Saturday. For this layout I used CM's kit So Chic for the papers, and a few of the embellishments... Both bday themed titles I found from another blog, as well as the flower cluster and the ribbon. The sequin circle was a CM freebie. Oh and the eyelet paper behind Emily eating was a freebie, on CM, that I just filled with another paper... Font I used for my journaling was Girls Just Wanna have fun from dafont.com

Gymnastics

2009-09-12T04:41:00.000-07:00

These are picures taken before Laura's last gymnastic class Aug 25th 09. She was showing off her moves, and Rachel decieded to get in on the action with her own moves.

The Princess word art I got here for free:http://happydigiscrapper.blogspot.com/2009/09/wednesday-word-art.html

They also had a prince one for boys, so check it out!

The Gymnastic Divas's title I did myself. I just downloaded the font- Bleeding Cowboys from dafont.com

Oh and the tear feature is a freebie from CM, that I put on the page to make it look torn.

More school cuteness...

2009-09-11T17:31:00.000-07:00

I made these quick today during naptime... these are pics from school this week. On the 2nd page the Making Memories element came with my digital creative memories program StoryBook Creator 2.0 plus. I still have not gotten around to downloading the new 3.0 Version. yet. It's super cheap for me to upgrade, I just have not had a chance to sit down and go through the process. I can't wait though, the new tools look sweet. Obviously, I can't remember where the other stuff came from.

More back to school...

2009-09-11T12:57:00.000-07:00

Not my favorite creation, but still cute. I did this a week or so ago and can't remember where these embellishments came from, but they were all freebies from other blogs... I know I am horrble at keeping tack of those things. Will try to get better at it... I will scrapping some birthday cuteness later this weekend as my youngest daughter is having her 1st birthday party tomorrow!

More getaway pics...

2009-09-07T17:43:00.001-07:00

I couldn't help but use these quick pages, I found them here: http://busyfingers-digiscrap.blogspot.com/2009/09/is-for-autumn-and-freebie.html

Pics are also from weekend trip.

Layout from weekend trip...

2009-09-07T17:36:00.000-07:00

These are actually not quick pages lol. I actually had to make an effort to creat them. The didn't take long though. Some elements and papers were freebies from CM, and some of them are freebies from other blogs. Guess I need toget better and keeping track of where I find these things. The pics are from a trip my husband and I went on to Luray, Va this past weekend for our 6 year anniversary.

1st day pics!

2009-09-04T08:38:00.000-07:00

These are both quick page layouts also... God I love quick page layouts.... when you don't feel like thinking it's nice to just drop in the pics. God bless the creative people who take the time to make these and share them for people like me.

The girls had fun meeting their teachers yesterday. Laura loves her teacher, and Rachel acted very shy, but she was excited to play with the toys in the classroom... She discovered a baby stroller in the room, and I can already predict her fighting another little girl or boy over the stroller...As Rachel and Laura get in knock down fights over the strollers at home.

Memory Lane...

2009-09-03T04:35:00.000-07:00

These pics are of my daughter on her first day of school. Actually, it was the day she met her teacher at school, but hey, we were pumped. This was a quick page created by another blogger (meaning all I had to do was drag my pictures in and line them up, but the word art, Time to Fly, is from CM, and the title is my own creation. I can't believe how much Laura has grown in a year... Today both Laura and Rachel meet their teachers....

First Post...

2009-09-01T18:20:00.000-07:00

So I started this blog as my pages were kinda taking over my other blog. We shall see if I keep it up or not. Hey, at least I mangaged to learn to create a header for this blog. These two pages are of my oldest daughter's swim lessons this year at our pool. I mainly used some Creative Memories freebies from their site.
