Cutest Crew Member at Trader Joe's

I got the June page done for Uriah's first year book! I just loved this series of photos from a trip to the Trader Joe's market where his daddy works. Uriah is ready for a management position in his cute Hawaiian shirt!

I used a mix of Lawn Fawn and Studio Calico paper, a computer generated title, 

MME enamel dots and chipboard stickers from Echo Park. 

I even did some machine stitching and it doesn't look bad, yay me!

I've just got July and August to complete and I will be finished with Uriah's first year. I plan to do a post with all 12 pages when I have them done.

So happy you visited with me today!

another scrapbook page, yay!

So I'm really behind in creating a pages for Uriah's album so I kicked myself into gear to get a couple done. I worked on May and June of 2012 this past weekend and I have May to share today.

I make 8x8 page layouts, I find this size gives me enough room for everything without being scary big. When Uriah was born I gave Andy and Kellie an 8x8 album with the first page inside. My plan is to do a page for each month of his first year and then to scrap the highlights like birthdays, holidays and fun events.

In May of 2012 Uriah was 8 months old when he attended a Mother's Day brunch at the Reagan Library. He looked so cute in his little suit and was a perfect little gentleman.

I used lots of different paper from Studio Calico and the Tag, You're It and Stitched Journaling Card Lawn Cuts dies by Lawn Fawn. The little black chevrons and stars are die cut with the Stitched Journaling Card dies. The 2 circle titles were computer generated and die cut with Circle Stackables Lawn Cuts.

I tucked a little journaling card behind the photo so Kellie can record memories from her first Mother's Day.

I just love that face! (The font is KG Skinny Latte: thank you Ivy!)

Hopefully I will have the page for June tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Thanks for visiting!

A Little Scrap-booking Today

I'm still trying to find my way as a scrap-booker, but I have an adorable subject to document so I will keep working at it. For now I'm keeping it simple so I won't get too far behind.

I finally had some time to do a {Uriah} page for January. Truly the hardest part is narrowing down the photos, his cute little face just makes me smile.

I'm working with an 8x8 inch album and the smaller size helps to take the panic out of filling a large blank page. I used a few Lawn Fawn sets: Chevron Backdrops, Critters in the Snow, Say Cheese, Claire's ABC's and Bright Side alphabet cardstock stickers. I got really ambitious and added some machine stitching on the Echo Park Country Drive paper strips.

There's a story behind each of these photos so I've added a little pocket on the back for my daughter-in-love, Kellie to add her own words.

Uriah's November Page- Digi Hybrid Scrapbooking

I can't believe this is my first post in December! Where does the time go? No really where does it go?
I've been busy putting together Make n Takes for the Hero Arts Catalog Party at Stamp Fever, so much fun playing with brand new stamps and supplies! The partying happens Friday at 4:30-7:30 and Saturday 10-2.

Today is my son Andy's 28th birthday and I'll be sharing his birthday card later in the month but I wanted to share the photo page I made for Uriah.

I used digital scrapbooking kits and papers and printed the page on Kodak Premium Picture High Gloss paper.  Then I added the little Lawn Fawn turkey that I colored with Copics and popped up with foam adhesive.

I'm off to celebrate Andy's birthday with dinner out and birthday pudding!

Uriah- October 2011

I'm taking Latrice's online class, Handmade Holidays and today she had a scrapbook sketch for inspiration. Now everyone knows I'm not a scrapbook-er but I gave it a shot anyway.

As per my usual, I didn't follow the sketch very closely and I didn't use a holiday theme, but it did give me my jumping off point for this 8x8 page. And what better subject than my adorable two month old grandson, Uriah!

I used a bunch of {ancient} paper and stickers/embellishments from my stash; K&Company, Cosmo Cricket, Heidi Grace. It was about time I found a use for these cute little doodads. This is really a primitive page by today's scrapbook standards but it's a start. Who knows, I just may make a few more now that I will be taking lots of photos of favorite my subject!

I just love the large photo of our little guy with his daddy (my not-so-little guy). Uriah has wonderful parents, he's one blessed little boy.

~Philippians 1:6 ~

I am certain that God, who began the good work within you,

will continue His work until it is finally finished

on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
