You're Changing Right Before My Eyes

I love this picture of Lucas. It was taken last year at the Tulip Festival in Albany, NY. He was climbing these trees and I just took a picture and it came out so awesome.
The paper line is called Nutmeg and it is from Cosmo Cricut. The tree is cut out using the Serenade cartridge from Provo Craft (my birthday present to myself) . I just love all the different trees and outdoor items you can cut out with the cartridge and the layout is based off sketch #41 from Inspired Blueprints. Thanks for looking!

Frosty

Oooh how I love this paper. I love that snowman so much, that I went digging through my pictures from the beginning of this winter and pulled out the picture of the first snowman we ever built.
This is another one of the papers in the Addicting Paper Scrapbook monthly kit, as well as the chipboard snowflake, Stickles, flowers, rub-ons and flower centers.
The inspiration came from Sketch #112 from Sketch Inspirations. I am really loving this online community. The sketches and people on there are so wonderful and nice. Go and check it out sometime for some great inspiration.
The snowflake is from Brazzill Chipboard shapes and I covered it with white paper, and accented the paper with Smooch and then outlined the border with Stickles.

A Winter Drive

This was Lucas' first time "Cruising" in his Lightning McQueen Power Wheels that my father and step mother bought him for Christmas. He could not wait to get it out, so we brought it out on the driveway the first time you could see the pavement, that winter.
The layout is based off of sketch #2.25 from Sketchy Thursdays.
The papers and embellishments are from the Addicting Paper Scrapbook Kit from April. With some sewing around the edges.

Snowed In

This layout was based on sketch 038 from Twisted Sketches. I choose this sketch becasue of the different patterned papers that could be used. I used the new Addicting paper Scrapbook Club set that includes Moxxie. But you could use a lot of your scraps to make a cool layout with this sketch.
The picture is of my two boys right after the Snowstorm on February 26th. The snow was so high that I picked them up and set them in a snowbank and they could not move. I thought it was hilarious, they did not.

Whoo Loves You

This is another layout that was done with the Addicting Paper Scrapbook Kit, which uses the Bo Bunny Love Bandit Collection. The skech is #92 from Creative Scrappers.
The picture is of Owen and Lucas with my Step-Mother, Irene (their grandmother). The pictures was so cute, I could not help but to use it with this paper.
