{supplies: 34th Street Scrapbook Kit, Studio Calico}

As I worked on this layout I was thinking about how much things have changed from when the older kids were 4 years old. Back then we had one Gameboy Advance that belonged to their dad, no iPods or iPads. The little guy won't know a life without handheld electronics of some sort, it's crazy how well he can navigate them without any instruction. I wonder what technology will be available when he has kids.

Thanks for stopping by!

Remember...Moments

These are my favorite kinds of photos and I am fortunate to be able to be home with the kids to capture them.

Tag You're It!

We played a round of card tag and a tag tag at Scrap Shotz and this is what I came up with.

Those penguins are just too cute along with the SC stars!

I have had this embossed paper for soooo long it was great to use it along with my embossing gun for this glitter embossed image.

Minecraft

Have you heard of this game? It's a computer game that seems to be very addictive. I don't really understand the attraction as the graphics seem "old school" to me but in a nutshell you build stuff with blocks, anything your imagination comes up with. You just have to build your shelter before the monsters come out at night time.
The boys can spend hours playing this, one in particular would stay online all day if he could get away with it. Thank goodness for school and baseball to take up some of his time :) .

This is the first of what I am sure will be many layout topics about the game.

I cut the American Crafts "Chap" paper into squares to mimic the squares used for building in the game. The kids spent a lot of time playing the game while we were away in Arizona for Christmas last year. It's hard to tell but my son is Facetiming his friend on his iPod back home and they are playing the game together.

Thanks for looking :)

Card Creations

I wanted to share some cards I created a couple of weeks ago in an effort to use up some scrapping supplies. I love how these turned out and while I've never considered myself a "card maker", I have been enjoying whipping up cards. It feels good to put all those supplies I've collected to good use!

I love this card especially because the papers are Heidi Swapp "No Limits" which is NOT a Christmas line of papers :) (sentiment making memories rub on)

Patterned papers are American Crafts "Chap", sentiment stamps, Stampin' Up.

Thanks for looking :)!
