My morning layout

I just bought a template from Designer Digitals that totally inspired me to scrap. Here's what I came up with this morning


Journaling - You didn’t want to let me do your hair for Easter Sunday. You wanted to make sure you rode with Dad to church and he was leaving. I quickly grabbed the blowdryer and your little white headband. You held still for two minutes while I round brushed and styled. You looked so cute that we had to spend the next two minutes taking a pic!

Hope you're having a great day! Mine started out pretty perfect!!!

Too Cute About Gifts

My dd Breanna loves birthdays and presents.

Journaling - You get excited whenever someone has a birthday. You love to think about what you want to give them. You are so happy to wrap everything up or put it in a gift bag. You like to make cards with your little name printed inside. You were more excited for Charles Luke’s third birthday presents than he was. The night before his birthday you insisted that we get started on the wrapping. You wanted to make sure things were perfect. You were very involved when he started unwrapping. You would have thought it was your birthday.


I made this layout for the GG Template Challenge HERE

Thanks for looking

I have never scrapped so much - 46 layouts in March

I have been looking over my March folder and I cannot believe how much I scrapped.

It all started with THIS CHALLENGE at Design House Digitals which I not only completed

BUT

March 8th through March 26th I scrapped and posted 31 incredible layouts in my DHD gallery HERE

Here are some of my favorites














1 - Challenges are great. They help you scrap layouts that you wouldn't otherwise think of doing.

2 - Sometimes a limited number of products helps a scrapper be more productive. See a Daily Digi post on this idea HERE

3 - Taxes and Housework do not get done when you are scrapping an average of 1.4 layouts a day - LOL!!!

Where's the Moon?

When I heard this funny story - I knew I had to scrap it


Charles Luke is almost three years old. He says the cutest things.

On Jacob’s birthday we celebrated at Brad and Melody’s house. It was time to go home and Charles wanted to stay. He got a little grouchy.

In an attempt to cheer Charles up, Garrett took him outside.

Garrett looked upward at the night sky. He said to Charles, “look at all the stars!” Charles’ eyes lit up immediately. The two of them counted the stars together. Garrett tried to help Charles count. Charles would say “one...” and wait for Garrett to finish counting for him.

Charles’ mood was improving.

As they looked around in the night sky they saw the lights of an airplane. Garrett said, “that’s not a star, is it Charles?” Charles responded and said, “that’s an ai-wo-plane.”

They continued studying the night sky together. The moon hadn’t come up yet. Garrett, in an attempt to outsmart the wisdom of an almost three-year old, asked, “Where’s the moon, Charles?” Charles looked around for only a moment before responding in his cute little kid voice “At my house?”

Garrett burst out laughing.

Sweet Treats

My friend Tiff loves digiscrapping as much as I do. She has been creating some incredible layouts lately. The layout below is a scraplift of her layout HERE



Brett does most of the cooking in our house. I am so lucky to have a guy who loves to cook! I got a craving for German Chocolate Cake. I still like to make something once in a while(mmmmm - sweets.) Breanna loves to help her Daddy and me in the kitchen (especially licking the beaters.) Here is a layout of our cooking adventures one Sunday afternoon.



These layouts were created with Scrappin' Daisies new kit "Sweet Treats"
