All the mini's are SOLD....so I added one more :)

All three ofthe minis sold out so I decided to keep on creating! I made the latest mini album entitled "Beautiful", using some Basic Grey sultry patterned paper and you can see it IN MY ETSY STORE! I am honestly addicted to my heart punch so I believe I will be making a layout just like this with all the hearts for the background :) Go check it out if you like, and here's just a sneak peek for you...

I am felling truly inspired tonight, so back to scrapping I go! I am secretly hoping for an early bed time for the kids :)

JBS Product Spotlight!

I was lucky enough to do the blog post over at the Jenni Bowlin Studios Inspiration blog today. I talked a little bit about patterned paper and gave a tip on how to make a cute lil heart out of JBS cardstock stickers using the #8 and the letter v. GO CHECK IT OUT HERE!! But for now, here are some sneak peeks of the layout...

Walk together.....

I love the little things in life....like my view of the girls during walks...they gallop and skip and run and jump and dance up ahead of me or lag behind. Whichever way they walk, it is a moment to be cherished. I hope I never take these moments for granted, because before I know it, they will be grown and gone :)

The flu bug bit....

and it's biting my lil three year old HARD right now....thankfully it is late at night and she is sleeping, but just about two short hours ago, her fever spiked badly to 103.9 as she vomited and shivered....POOR GIRL! Got her in the cool bathtub, and the fever went down to a little under 102. I am burning the midnight oil here trying to stay awake until midnight so that I may give her another dose of meds before I turn in for the evening. Lets all say a lil prayer for her that she wakes up tomorrow feeling much better than she did all day today....she REALLY wants to go to the pool tomorrow :)
So to keep me awake, I have been editing photos....I will share and then I will retire to bed!! I have got to get me some sleep!







I just wish my son was as cooperative at looking at the camera sometimes as the girls are....he is constantly on the go, so all the pics I have of him are in motion :)

Posted another mini, then a photo....

I got another mini album made from a vintage children's musical book posted in my etsy store...go take a look HERE!! Working on another one as we speak made from all vintage world atlas pages :)

Just one photo to share with you and nothing scrappy....been way too busy taking care of my kids and keeping them entertained in this WEIRD summer weather we are having :)

Have you ever tried to capture a shadow of your subject you are photographing? May sound like a very easy task for some, but for me with three MOVING subjects, it has eluded me until yesterday!! I finally got a good shot with a good shadow! My three year old was giving her 'baby' a ride on her bike and I just had the chance....


Have you ever tried to get a shot like that? Or am I the only crazy one? If you do have one, share it with me, I would LOVE to see it!

Added a couple

little mini albums to my etsy store! I decided that I have WAY TOO MUCH patterned paper in my stash that I will not let go unused so I am cranking out the minis to share! You can find them here at All Things Vintage!

Just one photo for the day....one photo that when I first looked at it after uploading, I was not impressed with. But the more I looked at it, the more the picture spoke to me. I added some edits and journaling in picnik and now it's my favorite photo of the week!


Ooooh and I got to see some of the new releases for JBS Mercantile.....WOWSA you are all going to be soo impressed and soo thrilled and want to have each and every piece available!! I am not even kidding! :) There should be some sneaky peeks late in the week so stay tuned!!

What a weekend!!

All in all it was a fantastic weekend filled with some good weather, some not soo pleasant rainy weather, lots of fireworks, TONS of photos, and now some sleepy kids! They are still trying to catch up on their sleep from being up late watching two different fireworks displays :)

In between times, I already had a chance to scrap one of my FAVORITE pictures of the weekend using the PAGEMAPS SKETCH for the contest they are having on their blog. I knew I wanted to get this picture printed out right away and scrap it, and the PAGEMAPS BLOG gave me just the perfect inspiration!



I am on vacation ALL WEEK this week....nothing planned except for quality time with my kids doing whatever whenever wherever :) I adore having NO PLANS!!!
