Christmas past and a Flashback!!






Christmas 2004
The first family pic.. too bad dh and I didn't take pics when it was just the two of us. that would have been cool to see.. well at least IMO. I do have pics of our first christmas so I will scrap those later.








Christmas 2007
I distressed and inked the edges and used black lace from an old top for the corner.










Our Family Christmas picture from 2005! I am going to scrap all the years. I will load another pic later since I lost the gem from the top center flower.







I used stickles for the 2005 and sugar coating for the cherish.











My dh in first grade. This picture was taken at school.. He was asked to bring something that made him happy and this was it!! I painted the title with shimmer paint and denim reinker. tfl!

Christmas In April!


Since I had so many pics from last christmas I decided to make a mini-book of the event. Here is the cover and some of the pages, I am going to finish a few more tonight and then I will be done.



The before pic...





And after.....


I covered the album with pp and then added ribbon and embellies, I added stickles to most of the flowers and santa. I inked the edges of all the pp and titles.











Thanks for looking!

Some Pages and a Vent!!

OK so as you all may know I have been working hard to finish the boys baby books. Well I finished Elijah's and the stupid album broke! Apparently I had way too many pages for the stupid post bound album! Anyways it's almost impossible to find a 8.5 x 11 baby book that isn't post bound! I have had the help of one nice SB.com member who also sells CM products, but the only thing is I wanted to use my pp and wanted a light blue album.. I am not sure if I will buy it or not since it's strap hinge but it may be the best option.

I did find a wonderful AC album that is D-ring and blue, however it is a 12x12! At $7.50 I bought it anyways, figuring I would use it for Aaron since his baby book was just getting started.. so I get home and of course Aaron's baby book is a lot further along than I thought! so now I am redoing Aaron's since it is easier than dealing with trying to finish 8.5 x 11. But I am pissed!


Thanks for reading this if you did *lol*! Here are some of the last pages I did.. the next post will be of the new 12x12 pages!
