Treasure Journal

This is one of those notebooks you see all over the place when school starts up again. I covered it with paper and embellishments. Way simple!

Ice Cream Monster

These pictures were actually taken last Summer and I'm just now getting around to doing something with them. Tate is such a funny little guy and it was such a HOT day that he just couldn't keep up with that melting ice cream. He had a blast though and that's what counts. Good thing I had lots of baby wipes in the car though. ;)

Happy Birthday Flower Card

I love when I get to use my old cross stitching 'know-how' in my scrapbooking. I made this card for a sweet lady in my old ward who is celebrating her birthday this week. :)

My Little Wyatt

This little guy will be 6 years old in a couple of months. It's hard to believe how fast time flies. I wanted to keep this page simple yet fun. I love stitching on my pages and using journaling strips is one of my favorite ways to journal. (I have his whole name written out but I edited it for my blog.) It's hard to believe this little guy was ever so small. He's a little spitfire now. :)

YW Communication Handout

Here is the handout for today's YW lesson which I taught. I'm having lots of fun sewing in my scrapbooking lately. This one is simple yet elegant I think.

YW Peacemaker Handout

Tomorrow I teach my first YW lesson in our new ward. I'm a little nervous but also really excited. I don't actually know how many Laurels I will have but I'm hoping it's no more than 6 since that's how many handouts I made. :)

I had a lot of fun making these cute little houses. My sewing machine caused me a lot of stress but eventually I got it to work. I just love how well they turned out. I can't take credit for the idea though. The words are mine but the template came from the adorable Paper Cakes & Icing blog.

Valentine's Goodies

I made a few little treats for the boys school teachers and for my husbands office staff. Here's a peak.

Having Fun

I'm working really hard at getting cards done right now. I'm having fun. My kids are also having fun trying to go through my entire scrapbook room while I work. Akk! These three cards are super simple but they were quick and easy to make which is a big 'plus' when you don't have much time. Enjoy.

Thanks & Congrats

I have been having some fun scraplifting to try and get the creative juices flowing again. I made this first card yesterday using as a reference one I'd found online a few months back.The inspiration for this second card came from my friend Jamie's blog.

Cupcake Card

It has been soooo long since I've been able to sit down and create something artsy with paper! I've wanted to but just haven't had a chance. I volunteered to make 10 cards for a church activity next week and so I figured I'd better get busy. I spent hours this week trying to figure out how to start. Having not done it in so long made me really rusty in the creativity department. It was agonizing! This is what I was able to come up with. Hopefully I'll have several others ready this week to share with you too.
I got the cute little cupcake stamp at Michaels in their dollar bins yesterday. :)
