Just a Reminder

Happy Friday everyone!

Are you loving the Oh Baby challenge this month? I don’t know about you, but seeing all your layouts over in the gallery has inspired me to print baby pictures and pull out the pastel papers!

Remember you have until Sunday, May 30th to submit your layouts. And if you get on a roll with those baby pages feel free to submit them all for the contest!

I know you all want to see what the winner will get this month, so here’s a peak!

Lots of fun goodies to keep you scrapping baby pages!

Have a great weekend and be sure to check in with us next Friday for another Real Life Weekend Project!

For Mom…

Happy Friday Everyone!  This is Jamie and in honor of Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, I wanted to share a really simple album that I have created to showcase Mother’s Day each year. 

Ever since becoming a mom, we have tried to snap a photo right before we head out the door to church each year.  Please keep in mind that “tried” is the key word here. :) As I look back on the photos taken with my babies each year, I can definitely say that these are not the best photos of us together but just the fact that they are taken on Mother’s Day morning each year make them so special to me.

Here’s a peek at my Mother’s Day album…

And then I simply make a page (or two) each year to showcase a photo from Mother’s Day morning. 

 

I wonder what this year’s picture will hold with 3 little ones walking around?  Wish me luck!! 

And here is a little peek at the actual album…

This is a small 7x7 album from Creative Memories.  I got it back in 2005 when I was expecting my 1st child.  He was born the day after Mother’s Day so I had to wait a whole year to use it. 

As you can see, this is a very simple and easy mini album project.  I encourage you all to dig through your stash of Mother’s Day photos with your babies or perhaps even dig out some old ones of you and your mom for a gift idea for next year. 

Wishing all you moms out there a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend,

We have a winner!

Wow!  You Guys Rock!  Thanks for all the great support of our new online community over the weekend.  We are thrilled that so many of you signed up and please know that we have some fun stuff coming up so stay tuned.

Here is the winner of our National Scrapbooking Day drawing…

I celebrated National Scrapbook Day at the scrapbooking store in Gatlinburg.
It was huge and amazing! I thought about you guys.

Congratulations Desiree!

It sounds like you had a wonderful NSD weekend.  We will get your new scrapping goodies to you ASAP! 

See you all on Friday!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

We hope you are having a great day celebrating this wonderful hobby.  We had lunch together this afternoon followed by a quick trip to our local scrapbook store.  It was fun shopping together and we did find a few pieces of patterned paper that we just had to have.  You all know how that goes, right?

Ready for a funny today?

Ok, so remember that cute “brand new” baby layout that Jamie made for our challenge this month?  Well I guess having 3 babies in less than 3 years has finally caught up with her because she put a photo of the wrong baby on there.  Here is the layout again with the correct baby on it. 

 

Now does that give you all a good scrappy laugh today and show you just how “real” the 2 of us are? 

Now for the real reason you all showed up today.  Are you ready for the big news we talked about yesterday?  Click here to find out!

 
Be sure to check back Monday morning to see who wins these fun goodies!

Happy Weekend!

May Day! May Day!

Happy May Everyone!  Today is the 1st Friday of the month and we have a lot to talk about today so we are just going to jump right in…

First off, we want to say thank you to everyone who submitted a layout for our Goin’ Green challenge last month.  You all sent in some great stuff and we loved taking a peek at all that “green” scrappy goodness in April.  It was too hard to pick a winner so we are thankful to let the random number thingy do all the hard work for us.  So without further ado, our winner for last month is….

Did you realize that tomorrow – Saturday, May 2nd – is National Scrapbooking Day?  Yep, it is a day where we get to celebrate this great hobby and passion for telling our own stories.  There are lots of fun things going on online this weekend and I am sure at your local scrapbook store too.

Today also brings our new monthly challenge.  All those details are in the post right below this one so be sure to check that out too.  We hope that you will find this month’s topic inspiring.

Whew, that should be it for now.  Don’t forget to put some flowers on someone’s porch today for May Day.  It will not only brighten their day but we can guarantee you will have an extra spring in your step too.

See you tomorrow for NSD!
