This Chick Can Rock LO

I created this layout using the free template from GingerScraps March Template Challenge.  I love the way the torn paper turned out and how perfectly my little sister's shirt goes with Crystal's (Inspired Designs) kit! I just wish I had some pictures of my little sister and her guitar, it would have been a great match!

Birthday Banner Hybrid

My little guy just turned 1 on the 26th!!  I knew I wanted to have a party for him (more for me) but I also knew I didn't want to go overboard!  I only wanted a few people over and I also wanted to keep it very simple!  For the decorations I was motivated to do a hybrid birthday banner and it actually turned out pretty cute!  I made the template myself, so I may just offer it as a freebie for those who use Creative Memories and as a PDF that can be printed off!  Stay tuned, there just might be some bday freebies!!

Just Blessed LO

I did this layout for the word art challenge at GingerScraps.  I love the way it turned out!

We Cherish You LO

I created this layout on my son's first birthday!  All day on the 26th, I couldn't help but recall the events that had  occurred a year before.  I remembered waking up with the start of contractions all the way to the next 24 hours when I finally was able to hold my precious son in my arms!  I am so amazed by him and the things he can do each and every day and I just cannot believe that a year has already passed by!

April Desktop Wallpaper

Here's my desktop wallpaper for next month!  I love the way it turned out!  I used the FREE template from Sugar Kissed Designs for the GingerScraps March Desktop Challenge.  In the template the calendar was really small but I like the calendar on my wallpaper to be fairly large, so I ended up putting my own spin on this freebie!  I also put the icons over on the left side so I left a large portion of that side empty.

Zen With Tangles LO

I did this layout for GingerScraps March Mystery Challenge.  This month we were asked to try something we've never tried before.  I decided to do last month's Mystery Challenge, which challenged us to try out zen tangles.  Zen tangles are kind of like doodles - if you're interested in the whole art of zen tangles or just want patterns then you have to check out Tangle Patterns!

I had so much fun creating this layout and adding coloring to my tangle!  I love that it looks like a large flower right in the center of the page!  I did my tangle by hand and then scanned it.  Once I had it in my scrapbook software, I filled sections with different papers from the kit I was using.

Mommy's Rock Star LO and Free template!

Inspired Designs just released two very rockin kits that you absolutely have to check out!!  I created a layout using her "This Dude Can Rock" kit and it was perfect for some of the many pictures of my little guy who just so happens to LOVE music!!  

For this layout I used a FREE template (I love free, don't you??) that can be found at the GingerScraps Template Challenge thread!  I love seeing how different everyone's layouts are even though they used the same template!  The best part is when someone really makes the template their own!!  

So here is my layout...

P366 blog revamping

I decided to do something different with my blog today!!  I've been doing the P365/P52 for the last couple of years (and still working on last years...uggghhh) and figured it would be nice to have a separate page on my blog for that stuff!

I plan on getting a post up there with my previous projects and will be attempting to update those as I finish up last years!!

How's your P365 going so far?  Anyone up to date so far?  I'm still doing good this year but I just know if I start to fall behind, I may never catch up (kind of like last year, lol, oh and the year before).

 

P366 {February}

It's half way through March and I'm just barely posting my P366 for February!  At least I've had it done and just flaked out on the whole posting it to my blog part!!  I started out this project without using any paper for the border, however, I decided that I actually like the look so I changed it up!  So here's my recap for last month...
