everyday....

My  youngest is off to pre school next year, although it's only 3 days a week I am going to miss my everyday outings with him. I have used this months sketch over at Once Upon A Sketch to complete my layout,we had the additional criteria of using a quote, you can  find both here.

I have used lots of Heidi Swapp goodies here including papers from the No Limits collection, Color Magic tags and Color Shine mist, my tags are from Elle's Studio and of course my flair buttons, the speech bubble and triangles are from Greatest View.

I'm also excited to share a sneak peak of a new collection coming soon from Bella Blvd..so fun!

                                                                     

Big Adventure Ride...

A couple of months ago we took our boys to a local fair. It was their first time riding a roller coaster...it was fun to see their faces change from surprise as it began to enjoyment as the roller coaster continued. I have captured these memories using the Pebbles collection Seen and Noted, lots of bright, fun busy patterns perfect for these photos.

 I've  hidden my journaling and added some extra photos in a pocket behind one of the photos.

                                                                    

art work...

My oldest is crafty like me, our house is strewn with drawings, papers and crafts. I needed a way to keep it all under control, Heidi Swapp's Memory files were just the perfect solution.
Did you know The Scrapbook Store now has Heidi's newest collection in store here right now!
I started with a Vintage Chic Memory file and added some color shine to some resist letters and tags.

Once opened it reveals how I have stored and sorted some of his artwork.
I popped a beaded bracelet he made me into a mini plastic sleeve and held it together with washi tape.

   Because there are so many pieces of his art work I often take photos with my iphone so I don' t have to store them all, here I made a mini folder and placed my printed out photos inside.

 I then added a Mini Vintage Chic Memory File , Oh how I adore that button from Greatest View.

 I then added some Color Magic tags that I misted with mustard Color Shine and added this to a large jump ring with copies of his artwork and writing from school.

 One app that my boys love to play on my iphone is Paint Sparkles. I took some screen shots of some of my son's drawings and printed them out and added them into some small plastic sleeves.

  I then added another Memory File, this time from the No Limits collection, here I have added in some of his artwork into regular A4 plastic sleeves. I can continue to add to this as the year progresses

Remember The Scrapbook Store has a lot of these goodies be sure to check out Suzanne's store.

I am excited to share one of my layouts I made for the  Bella Blvd DT call. I am being introduced on the blog today.

                                                                

I Love You

On a recent photo shoot to get some decent photos of my boys and I , my friend snapped these of my eldest son and I. He is not one for posing for photos so I am counting myself lucky I got these two.
I thought the colours were perfect for one of the newest collection over at Pebbles called Walnut Grove. Such lovely bright Spring colours.

Before I go I am excited to share that the Scrapbook Store has finally received their shipment of
 Heidi Swapp Color shine mist ( to die for) , Color Magic paper and Vintage Chic Memory file systems.....anyone who loves mist , who loves the Memory File system see this post here or here to see what I am talking about...... be sure to check out Suzanne's store!
