10th BIRTHDAY

Hello!!!

I really had fun creating this layout. I think it was because of the paper line!  They were so delicious!  SO easy to work with especially for a boy.  I truly enjoyed working on this page.  Working on this page sure brought up fun memories that we had at the Mandarin where we celebrated Braden 10th birthday.  We looked forward to the birthday hat time as they always have the fun hat!  We all laughed and so did Braden!

BEAUTIFUL GIRL

HELLO!!!

 

A layout about Janna's first ever job.  She started working for the very first time last year for Ponies R US in the late spring.  This year she continues to work for them.  As you know, she enjoys ponies and horses and I think this job is just perfect for her.  She provides the small children pony rides at a local farm.  The best part is that she brings smiles to the small children.

"OH THE PLACE YOU WILL GO"

Hello!

Recently, Janna had a liturgy in her classroom and it was open to parents/visitors as it was Catholic Education Week.  I grabbed this opportunity to visit her and you can imagine she was not too happy about this.  There were around 10 other parents showed up so I was glad I did!  I know it was awkward especially at her age but I wanted to GO! I am glad I did!

GROWING UP- Big Boy Now

Hello!

Beautiful day here but the weather has turned COLD here after being so WARM for MANY days!

Another double page layout from me....  I truly enjoyed creating these pages.  Recently my son Dalton invited me to visit him in his classroom.  It was part of the Catholic Education Week.  Of course I grabbed this opportunity to VISIT him!  I always love visiting my children at their schools.

On my right page, I used three banners, three arrows, three buttons, three chevrons, three pieces of washi tapes, and three repeated date stamps for the The Rule of Three challenge.

 

Challenges I played for:

Two Scrapbook Friends National Scrapbook Day Christa's Colour Challenge
Two Scrapbook Friends Monday Crafty Challenge: Christa's The Rule of Three

The sketch I used for this double page layout was from Scrapbook Generations.  It was one of their National Scrapbook Day 2013 challenge.  I did not play it as their challenge but I saved the beautiful sketch.  For the left page, I have made some adjustment so it is a bit different from the sketch.

CELEBRATE Happy Mother's Day!

Hello!

Worked on this double page layout yesterday, just a perfect timing for a Mother's Day weekend!  Tomorrow is Mother's Day!

Happy Mom's Day to everyone!

I sure was glad to be able to scrap about the pictures from the year 2008!  They have been in my stash for a long time and I sure am GLAD that now I can say that I have them completed!  Giving myself some back pats!!!

Little Red Wagon posted up a challenge to do something about MOM!  I have decided to do a double page layout about myself since I am a MOM to four beautiful children.  The layouts shows what happened on the Mother's day in the morning in the year of 2008.  The children woke me up and surprised me a "in the bed" breakfast.  They also gave me HUGS and gifts.  What a nice feeling and loving children I have!  I sure am glad that Chris took the pictures (I know my hair was messy, me in the pj's and puffed eyes were not good but.... look how young my children were!!!!)

The sketch I used was from Laura Whitaker from ScrapMuch?  Thank you Laura for the wonderful sketch.
