Scrapbooking is easy when you have cute subjects to capture. For example here are two layouts featuring two lovely cuties.
The first one is of my niece, Kayley who just celebrated her 3rd birthday this weekend. I still can’t believe she is 3 – where is the time going?! Her birthday party was at a yoga studio and it was really cute seeing all the kids doing yoga.
This second layout is my little cousin, Olivia on Valentine’s Day. So sweet!
My dear friend Michelle Underwood has a lovely new kit out, Sunday Kind of Love out at Two Peas in a Bucket. It’s such a soft and beautiful kit and I had the opportunity to work with, so here’s my layout.
My cute little subject is my cousin’s daughter, Ava Grace. Such a cutie and the perfect photo for this layout!!
I’m working on some new promotions, advertising and things like that. Stay tuned for more information. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday and have a great day!

Michelle Underwood has a new kit out today – Baby It’s Cold Outside. This week is perfect for this kit since it’s really getting COLD OUTSIDE and I’m freezing. Brrrr!!
Here’s a layout of my niece, Kayley and nephew, Jackson from last winter using this wonderful new kit. Pick it up today at Two Peas in A Bucket.
I wanted to share a new layout with you featuring items from Ellie – the kit Mikkel Paige and I worked on together. Here is my dear friend Kelly with her girls, Corinne and Brianna. Awww, such a sweet photo!
My dear friend and fabulous designer, Mikkel Paige and I have teamed up to create a new kit called, Ellie. This kit was inspired by an animal we all know and love – the elephant! It has an infant/toddler feel to it and mixes some wonderful vibrant colors including green, blue and purple.
Kit includes:
Paper Pack: a total of 17 patterens and solids
Alpha Pack: adorable white letters with raised orange polka dots. Letters a through z are included as well as number 0 through 9, and some punctuation
Element Pack: 2 elephant stamps/stickers, 3 frames, 3 glitter brads, 4 clips with ribbon bow at the top, 3 buttons, 1 journaling square, 1 paint dab, 1 “remember this” word art, 1 “tons of love” word art, 1 “loads of fun” word art, 1 solid knotted ribbon piece, 2 elephant ribbons, 1 stitch line, 1 dot overlay, 1 folded flower, 1 embellished flower, 1 orange glitter line, 1 glitter grass line, 2 heart spills, 2 glitter splats, 1 twirled twine
In honor of this kit, I’ve designed a free Quick Page using some papers and elements from the kit.
Ellie is now available at the Digichick and it’s on sale for Black Friday, so hurry up and pick it up!!
I have been a HUGE fan of Michelle Underwood’s work since I started scrapbooking and now I’m so thrilled to be apart of Michelle Underwood’s Creative Team. Michelle has a new kit called Vintage Holiday Memories on sale today and here is my first “official” layout featuring John & I from pumpkin picking with the family last weekend. I thought I would try something different here and I really like the way it came together.
Be sure to stop by Two Peas in A Bucket to pick up this fabulous kit!
My niece and nephew are too cute in their Halloween costumes. This layout makes me smile. Hope you are having a great Halloween!
Seven years ago yesterday John and I had our first date at our friends Jenna & Dave’s wedding. Figured it would be a good subject for a layout. Awww! Here we are shakin’ our groove thang and lookin good!
Over the weekend I found a new scrapbooking store in the city. I came across it mentioned on someone’s blog and was excited to check it out since I was going to be in that neck of the woods anyways. After our lunch with friends John and I stopped by, Portrait Bug to check it out. The store although not fully super stocked is a cute store that has a cute idea behind it. It’s a boutique photography studio and scrapbook studio all in one. You can take photos there and then use them in your scrap layouts. They will ’snap’ them and teach you to ’scrap’ them. I’m hoping to be able to make it up there for a class sometime. Always nice to have another option and meet some new scrappy people in the city.
So while we were there I ended up buying a few things, one being Vintage Moon Paper Pack from Pink Paislee. I was very excited about this and HAD to buy it since my friend, Holly McCaig designed it. Now I have to put it to use.
