Woohoo!

Yesterday was a good day. Not only did Miss Bekah pass her hearing test, but I also found out that I made the design team at Scrap That Baby!
Woohoo! I am so excited! Scrap That Baby is a challenge blog that does two challenges a month. Please check it out! There are so many talented ladies there, and I am so honored to be a part of their design team!

Scrap that Baby!

Okay, so I found a new challenge blog called Scrap That Baby! which specializes in challenges for layouts of kids 4 and under. Just my cup of tea!!

Anyway, I decided to try my shot at their latest challenge...and made it to the top ten!! Woohoo!! So now I have to wait some more to see who gets voted number one and wins a fun prize package. Tomorrow they will post a new prompt and I plan on trying for that one, too!

what a great blog!

Some days are rockin', other days...not so much.

This layout I did of Bekah was a work in progress for about a month and a half! I started on it, but my vision didn't match what was happening, so I put it away for a bit until I could get a fresh look at it. Now that it is complete, it is one of my favorite layouts of her!





Yesterday was a doozy for Bekah. This is what happens when a 2 year old has a meltdown and decides to slam her face into the hardwood floor.




OUCH!! Poor little girl ended up with a puffy lip, a crease on her nose and her first ever nosebleed; which also happened to be a nosebleed that came from BOTH nostrils!!




But after all of that, she still is a cutie, isn't she?

My favorite mini album

I just realized the other day that I haven't shared this mini album yet. I did post a sneak peek a couple months back, but I forgot to load up the rest of the pictures! Shame on me!!

This is my all time favorite mini album. At least for right now :) It is of Bekah's favorite things at 20 months. Full of pink, sparkles, butterflies and all things girlie...I hope you love it as much as I do!!














Thanks again for looking!

Scrapping Bekah

Lately, I've been a bit busy working on fattening up Bekah's scrapbook album...I have TONS of layouts of Gavin, but not quite so many of Bekah. I have to admit, though, it has been really nice using girly stuff on my pages!!

The first layout is of her actual birthday. We celebrated with cupcakes and the birthday song. Used October Afternoon's Fly a Kite line. Swoon! I love this paper!







The next two layouts I did for The Color Room a challenge blog. These were for week 9 and 10...currently they are on week 14.

The first one here, is of Bekah sleeping in Daddy's chair. I love how peaceful she looks! Used a bit of Prima and Pink Paislee in this one.


This next one is of Bekah and Cowboy Woody. Both of my kids are on a Toy Story kick and I was able to catch Bekah giving smooches to the lucky cowboy. Lots of The Girl's Paperie in this one!



I have a few more layouts to share, but they are hush-hush for a bit...I will show them as soon as the coast is clear! :)

A toy story birthday.

Last weekend the kids had their combined birthday party. We did a Toy Story theme this year since they both are OBSESSED with Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the gang.

Here is the invitation...




and Gavin's cake...Not quite how I wanted it to turn out, but he loved it and that is all that matters, right?



Bekah's cake...I really was happy with this one :)



Gavin was so excited to blow out his candle...I can't believe that he will be FIVE on the fifteenth!!



This picture of Bekah was taken right after I had lit the candle. We hadn't even sang the birthday song yet. She was excited, I guess :) So I did light it again, but this time we sang the song BEFORE I actually lit the candle!



The kids had a great time even though the weather was yucky outside. They had tons and tons of gifts (worse than Christmas time!) and way too many cupcakes.

I would post more pictures of the party and the gift opening, but Blogger is being fickle about loading up pictures so I thought I would stop while I was ahead. :)

Pigtails

Wish this little cutie would keep her darn pigtails in...they are just so cute!!
