Hey kid!

Did you know that dragons love tacos?

Of course who doesn't love tacos! In our house, Taco Tuesday is pretty much a holiday and to celebrate we read the book, Dragons Love Tacos! Day 20 of Shimelles 30 days of random motifs was tacos and what a subject then one of Sebastian's favorite books! Here is my layout!

For this layout I combined Echo Parks Once Upon a Prince and DCWV Good Eats. Together, they are perfect for such an awesome book! 

This Saturday is iNSD and I can't wait! Already have the afternoon planned to just and scrap! 

Until next time! 

DCWV April Sketch Challenge

Good morning folks! Hope everyone had a fun filled weekend! I'm back to share my layout for DCWV monthly sketch challenge. It's been a while since I have done one but they are always fun! So here is the sketch for this month .

And here is my take on it.

As you can see I stayed pretty close to the sketch. The papers I used were DCWV Old World, DCWV Good Eats, and DCWV Vintage Essentials. 

Here are a couple closeups of my embellishment clusters and so you can see the details of those amazing papers. 

With this layout I finished off a pack of Jolee's Mexico stickers (yay for using stash!). The stars are Studio Calico and some various enamel dots. 

Until next time! 

Silly Toddler Adventures

Hey gang! Hope everyone had a fun filled week. Though I have slowed down on scrappuns this month now that Calvinball is over, I have been able to find time to follow along with Shimelle's random motiffs for this month. It's been a lot of fun thinking outside of the box for some of the items. Here Are a couple of my favorites so far .

Day 6 was about Hot Air Balloons. At first I had no idea how I was going to tie hot air balloons into a layout. Then I got to thinking about wind and I instantly remember these photos from a couple weeks ago when the wind was extra strong. Sebastian had fun playing out on the porch in the wind. For thisayout I used DCWV Sunday Afternoon and Shimelle's Little by Little. 

Ahhhh it's a closet monster!! Oh wait it's just Sebastian hiding in the closet. Day 7 was chameleons and at first I thkutho about going with an arts and craft project and focusing on how Colorful chameleons can be. But then I remembered these photos and decided to go with how chameleons like to hide and blend in to the surroundings. For this layout I use Shimelle's Box of Crayons, Echo Park Imagine That (Boy) and Fancy Pants Be Different. 

That's it for now. This week marks the beginning of Spring Cleaning. Wish us luck! 

Until next time!!

Hoppy Easter!!

Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a fun Easter! Sebastian had so much fun searching for eggs this year!

The Easter Bunny brought him a new bike which he is so excited to learn! 

Plus lots of bubbles to play with!  And since it was a nice day yeatyeste we got to enjoy being outside! 

A couple weeks ago we met the Easter Bunny and Sebastian loved him. He introduced him to his little stuffed friend Monster and had a serious "conversation" about whatever is on a toddlers mind .

For this layout I used DCWV Citrus Stack and American Crafts Hello Spring for the papers .Embellishments were from Maggie Holmes, Pebbles and American Crafts. 

This was one of so many amazing photos taken that day and I can't wait to scrap the rest! 

With temperatures once again dropping this week hope everyone stays warm! And those getting the snow just remember before you know it will be a scorching hot sun summer .

Until next time! 

You've Got A Friend in Me

Hey there gang! Happy First Day of Spring! I don't know about where you guys are but here in Maryland it is snowing! We are expected about 14 inches over the next two days. Fun times!  Sebastian is excited!

Sorry it's been a while. Michael has come down with the flu so he has been in quarantine while I spray the house every 5 minutes. Fun times!
Since he has been in quarantine, I have been spending my evenings/nights scrapping. And so far have been kicking butt. I have made a goal for myself to move up in the standings for Calvinball this week. Those ladies there are amazing so I gotta do some serious scrapping this week!

For now I have been focusing on scrapping photos of Sebastian being a cowboy when he was just a few months old.  So I have been using all of the same lines for these lines. I have been using Carta Bella Toy Box, Carta Bella Cowboy Countries and DCWV Little Mister. And here are my layouts.

I have a stack of photos that my goal is to scrap this week so fingers cross it gets done! 

Until next time! 

Layouts and paper confetti fun!

Hey gang! March has been a great month for scrapping so far! Already have a total of 19 layouts done! Huge thanks to Calvinball and Shimelle's Clear the Desk Class for motivating me to get layouts done.

Clear the Desk may be done but I have combined all 4 kits and been able to get a ton of fun layouts completed. And whats awesome is it's such a great class to redo and start with completely new kits. Great way to use up the old stash!

Here are some of my layouts from just this week.

Such a great feeling being able to make dents into the two main album's I would like to complete this year. 

Gotta go continue playing in paper confetti! 

Until next time!! 

In a blink of an eye...

Before you have your first child, people often make the comment that time seems to just fly by once they are born. Often you roll you eyes and go yeah right. And then you have you have your first kid and qhicklq realize the truth to that statement. In a blink of an eye it seems time has just flown by. Yesterday was Sebastians second birthday. It's hard to believe that not only has 2 years have passed but that there was an even a time before him. It's like the space time continuum alters significantly after a kid is born.

We made it a birthday weekend and as you can see sebastian had a ton of fun! 

I finished my third kit for the Clear the Desk challenge And managed to get 6 layouts out of it! This month I also joined Calvin all which has been fun. It has really been challenging me to get layouts done! 

Here is the kit I made. 

And the layouts I created from it .

That's it for now! Hope everyone has a fantastic week! 

Until next time! And
