It has always been that when September hits the birthdays begin. My younger sister's birthday is in Sept., my younger brother is Oct., my dad's birthday is mid-Nov., my older sister and I are in Dec., my older brother's birthday is January and my mom is Feb.Add just some of the extended families birthdays and I have a brother-in-law in Oct, my mother-in-law in Oct., my husband and son's birthdays in Nov. my middle son in Dec., my youngest in Feb., my niece and another brother in law in March.If you add all that up that equals a TON of birthdays really close together.Since I desperately wanted to make a birthday gift for my son's teacher that adds just one more birthday to the mix but I enjoyed doing it.So today is the teacher birthday card.I started again with rustic cream cardstock (do I have to tell you how much I LOVE that cardstock?)The PP is from K & Co. which I absolutely love. Although it is vintage and flowery I think can work very well for boys scrapbook pages as well.I stamped the bottom (Pure Poppy) cardstock with polka dot basics (PTI) in versamark ink and punched with a Martha Stewart punch.The main image was stamped with the latest PTI anniversary set. I love how the image came out kinda blotchy. I didn't do it on purpose but I love how it worked because it gave a very vintage feel to the whole card.Thanks for stopping by!!! 
This page I made for my youngest son's 5 month birthday. I have been trying to keep up with the monthly pictures. I kinda feel guilty about it though because I didn't do that with my other two. I hope they forgive my shortcomings.Not much to say about it and not much time to talk about it. I was trying to copy a simple layout used for my desktop. I love how it turned out. I have been trying to recreate a look like this for a long time. Nothing really matchy matchy or any real form. I think it makes it more fun and keep the focus on the picture.I need to do the journal part of it. I think I am going to make a bigger tag and then put it behind the pictures since the center and sides of the picture wasn't glued down, just the top and bottom.Thanks for stopping by!!!
Oh my gosh!!! I feel so happy that through this hectic, stressful time for me I was able to get some scrapbooking done. There is absolutely NO stamping involved either. It was so nice and I feel so good about getting some projects done.I started with a picture of my oldest son on our trip to Wyoming in May, I think. I am so bad with time frames anymore.
The paper is K & Co., ancestry.com, and making memories.I don't have a lot of time to dilly dally on the computer so I will just say a few things.It may be hard to tell but the squares on the side have been paper pierced and then I used a white gel pen and a green spica pen to make it look like it was quilted. I thought it fit the look of the page. I love using old techniques like that. I haven't done that in a long time which made me realize I have misplaced my paper piercer. I hope I find it soon or it is off to the store to get a new one.It is a pretty simple and fun layout so I am going to leave it to that. I hope you all have a fun filled week up ahead.Thanks for stopping by!!!
