Getting Some Things Done! Yay!!

Well, I don't know if I'm quite on track for my goal of having my photobook done but here are a few more pages I've completed...

Foodland Memories:

I love how this turned out.  I was so unsure but the grocery bag was ugly colours so I just turned it into a sketch and used it for the background.  I think it turned out really fun.

Cutie pie alert!

Well, looking at this post, it seems I really liked yellow recently!  These pictures of my little one are just perfect for the sO handsOme collab so I just had to scrap a few!  The next pages are a double page spread from our Hawaii book.

4!

SCRAP-A-THON!!!

OK...we'll just ignore the fact that it's been six months or so since I've posted on this blog.  It's OK.  I've been scrapping :).  I've been working on my oldest's first year book and have about 90 of the 125 pages done so I'm feeling good.  To add to that, I participated in ScrapMatters' Customer Appreciation Scrap-a-thon this past weekend and I scrapped THIRTEEN...yes you heard that right...13!! pages in three days.  I think about 6 has been the most I've ever done before and they're pages I'm not ashamed to print in a book, either.  I think switching to PSE and buying some shadow styles has really sped me up.  Anyway, I thought I'd share all thirteen of those pages here.  The challenges were all inspired by Dr. Seuss books so I'll let you know what those were, too.  So, here they are, in no particular order...

Summer Scrapping

Really, summer scrapping just hasn't happened for me this summer.  Between being gone so much and being incredibly tired since I am pregnant, I haven't had as much time as I'd like for scrapping.  I have got a few pages done, though, and I'm moving along in my oldest's first year book.  I just thought I'd share a couple of my favourites that I've done this summer.

I so love the texture of this background paper and the kit I used is just so pretty (but I managed to make it boyish :) )!
Kit: Let Me Call You Sweetheart by Stolen Moments
Dish rack: Helping Hands by Stolen Moments
Date element: Pinned & Dated by Stolen Moments
Alpha: Acrylic AlphaNumberSet No. 1 by Anna Aspnes Designs
Template: Fuss Free: Beginnings by Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs
Font: Blackjack 

I think this one turned out just adorable and by blending the big photo, I even managed to use an incredibly blurry photo that I just loved but DH made fun of me for keeping :).
Kit: ArtPlay Palette Wild by Anna Aspnes Designs

Papers: Brown and Natural Paperie by Kitty Designs
Flowers & tape: Little Birdie Told Me by Dido Designs
Burlap: Burlap Scraps No 1 by Anna Aspnes Designs

Template: ArtsyKardz Wild by Anna Aspnes Designs
Template: The Sketch 22 by Kitty Designs
Template: colorblock templates by paislee press designs
Font: Kamikaze by WM{Squared}


I just like how this one turned out.  I think the masked photo at the bottom is my favourite part.  I'm also trying to do a better job of telling the stories!
Kit: Grow by Fei-fei's Stuff

Circle stitches: Stitched by Anna Circles No. 2 by Anna Aspnes Designs
Linear stitches: Sweet Awaits by Kitty Designs
Alpha (recoloured): Squeaky Clean by Jennifer Labre
