Animal Cookies Layouts

In July I put Noah in our county fair's baby contest. I had always wanted to enter my child into it because it seemed like it would be so much fun. So, when I found out that I would be moving back home in time to enter, I just had to do it!

As we were waiting for the late judges to arrive, a grandma behind me was saying that there were just so many cute babies and she didn't know how they were going to pick the winners. She looked at her daughter and said, "It's a good thing this is all just for fun!" I thought to myself, "Of course I'm doing this for the fun of it, but it won't be fun unless we win!" It's a good thing Noah took the Happiest Baby award or else my pages may have turned out differently!

Mojo Monday Week 86 and Boom Di Ada

It seems like I know 100 people having babies in the next two months so I've been needing a lot of baby cards lately. A former coworker of Isaac's is having a little girl next month and since we're going to see her tonight I needed to whip a card up for her. I'm tired of using all the typical pastels so I decided to go with an older paper pack with non-traditional baby colors and see what I could do. I rather like the final result.

I tried sponging the edges of my stamped images this time to help take away some of the blank white space and I think it looks pretty good. I like to ink my edges to give that distressed look but that was too harsh of a look for this card. The sponge gives it a nice soft look while adding some extra color. I hope she likes it!

Easter Layouts

Wow, I've been working on these pages for a week now. I can't believe how long it has taken me! Noah really takes up my scrapping time. The only way I finished these was by moving a small table into our bedroom and scrapping from 9-11:30pm before he wakes up for a feeding. But, alas, they are finally done!

We had such a wonderful trip home for Easter, however brief it was. It was a joy to see my Grandparents hold Noah. He did wonderfully on both plane rides and was a trooper being passed from person to person. He's a little celebrity in his own right.
