(Our daily life.)

(click on photo for larger image.) I made this page this afternoon for the Sunday Sketch challenge at Studio Calico . So, I thought I would share it here, too.

I still need to locate all my scrappy stuff so I can start scrapping again; here are some pages I made before we moved.

I have a few more, but I will share those soon.

Aaahhh, it feels so good to be crafty! I have been tired this week, not sleeping so well, and Gracie was up at 6:45am this morning. I wasn't able to go back to sleep so I am really dragging today. The perfect solution seems to be pulling out some scrappy goodies . =)

A page with Gracie's 6 month photos. Some day she will look back at her baby book and wonder why her mother was obsessed with that butterfly punch .

A page I made the other day. I just adore these pics of Gracie and Nate from our visit to Tulip Town. He does such a good job with her. I love to watch them play. I also love that flower-y paper and that scallop edge . The punch was part of my Mother's Day present. =) Gracie checking out the flipper while I made pancakes for lunch.

   This is another page I made last week. I am liking it more now than I did after I finished it. As hard as I try, I cannot cut straight. So, I was a little frustrated with the way the paper strips looked once I put them on the page. But, I like it overall and I scrapped a photo of the three of us that I just adore. I am so happy to have a page about this photo and my thoughts on being a family of three. And, both pages I made last week are in an album! Whohooo!

I am so excited. I made a page yesterday!:   I found a sketch  online and is that ever the way to go. I was able to finish this during Gracie's naptime! How awesome is that? I love naptime. =) I loved not having to sit there and figure out where to put everything. It totally took away the pressure. I used my new goodies , which was also super fun. I love having pre-coordinated stuff to choose from. I also love that it came with these . This was the first scrapbook page I have made for/of Gracie and it felt great. It was awesome to record memories for her. I am not sure if I love the sticker in between the 2 photos, but it is a sticker and it won't come off. So, it stays. Perfection is not my game, people. I liked that the sketch had a place for paper, and helped me layer the paper, and had a place for the title and journal, but that was it. So, the rub-ons across the top and the sticker were my additions. I also changed were the journaling was supposed to be. There ...
