It’s a Shore Thing

Posted on November 25, 2013 by Jennifer

This month I had the chance to work with a kit from The Scrappy Kat. I chose this beachy kit called It’s a Shore Thing. I love the blue, aqua, and tan with a hint of orange and yellow. There are a bunch of fun beach and surf elements. In addition to the kit, The Scrappy Kat has a coordinating quick page set, word art set, and add-on; however, I did not work with any of the extras.

I made a two page spread documenting playing in the sand at Castaway Cay on our Disney cruise back in January. It’s amazing to see how much Janette has changed in just eleven short months.

And here’s the close-up of both the left and right sides.

Christmas Memories

Posted on November 17, 2013 by Jennifer

Today is the last day of Grab-a-Byte at Scrapbookbytes. Word Art World has four pieces you can pick up for $1 each.

I have two layouts showcasing this kit. They’re coordinating pages that will sit side by side in my 2012 album. Journaling on the first page read: “Growing up, it was a tradition to open gifts on Christmas Eve. First, after Christmas Eve mass and then as we got older and started attending midnight mass, we opened gifts before church. It is a tradition we’re continuing with our family. After returning home from church, we gathered around the tree and watched the girls’ excitement in opening their presents.”

I hope y’all had a fabulous weekend. We had a fun filled weekend visiting the Dinosaur Park, attending one of Jessica’s classmate’s birthday party and going for a family bike ride.

Tooth Story

Posted on October 26, 2013 by Jennifer

I’m here today to tell you about a kit from Marie H Designs. Tooth Story is an adorable little kit, designed to document all the little stories regarding your children’s tooth moments. It covers everything from first tooth, to lost tooth, to braces. I especially love the adult and baby teeth charts. It happens to be in the Super Saturday Sale bin, so you can pick it up for $2 today.

I have two fun layouts about going to the dentist with Jessica and Janette at the end of September.

The first layout is about Jessica. Journaling reads: Jessica had gone to my dentist a number of times with her appointment following mine, but she never let Dr. Evans look in her mouth and barely let Melissa the hygenist brush her teeth with a regular toothbrush, so at the last visit Dr. Evans suggested it was time to change to a pediatric dentist. We decided to try Dr. Kim Hoang who opened her practice, Petite Dental ,right next door to Dr. Evans. When we arrived, Jessica said Janette could go first, but after Janette had her teeth checked out, she excitedly went off with the hygenist to have x-rays taken and then hopped right up on the seat to have her teeth cleaned. Dr. Hoang then checked out her teeth and told Jessica it was time to stop sucking her thumb.

The second layout is about Janette. Journaling reads: Today was Janette’s first ever dental check-up. She had visited my dentist before when I went in for cleanings, but this was the first time she had a check-up. Dr. Hoang had Janette sit in my lap facing me and then we lay her back so her head was in Dr. Hoang’s lap. She brushed Janette’s teeth with her new Princess Belle toothbrush. Janette did great!

I hope the rest of your weekend is great. We attended a Halloween party tonight and plan to go to trunk or treat at our church tomorrow.

At the Pool

Posted on September 20, 2013 by Jennifer

Word Art World recently released a great new word art pack. It is perfect for all those pool photos from the summer.

I have a two-page layout using three of the word art. I used one for the title, one for a subtitle for the photo of Jason and one as kind of a watermark for the journal mat. These photos are from Labor Day weekend. Journaling reads: Both Saturday and Sunday after naptime (quiet time), we drove to Jason’s house so the kiddos and some of the adults could go swimming. It was really fun to watch all the cousins having a ball splashing and swimming. Cameron really enjoyed using the snorkel mask. Jessica was utilizing her newly acquired swimming skills. Janette just floated about. Trevor had fun jumping into the pool. Aspen thought it quite fun when Aunt Sarah lifted her up in the air and she jumped. Brian only swam on Sunday and he and James had fun tossing two balls simultaneously.
