A Favorite Photo

The challenge blog over at These Are a Few of My Favorite Things has requested the use of a favorite photo(s). I love this picture of Elan. It was taken on his fourth birthday in February and the eyeballs on the kid are just huge! I also loved that I captured the "4" fingers he was holding up and he's mouthing the word "four" in the background. I love pictures that you take and will never be able to recreate! This is a rather simple layout, but I really wanted the pictures to be the main focus. So, do you have a favorite photo that needs scrappin'? Join the fun if you do! ;)

Soccer Mom

The challenge going on right now at These Are a Few of My Favorite Things is to scrap your fave sport. This is a no brainer for me... SOCCER! Stephen played in high school and college and all three of the kids play. So, needless to say, half the year, we spend on the soccer field. This year, however, was extra exciting... it was Anna's first year of soccer at St. Albert and Stephen was the coach. It was a great season...

I used a few random papers- literally laying on my floor, and added a few SRM stickers, black half beads, ribbon and those clouds are die cut from a PTI die and felt. I LOVE Papertrey Ink!!! Just got a special delivery from them today! ;)

Off I go... work, work, work!

Favorite Toy

The challenge over at These Are A Few of My Favorite Things is "Favorite Toy." Hands down, my favorite toy is my camera, a Cannon DSLR. I urge you to visit the site (click on the link above) just to get inspired by all the awesome layouts the DT created! There are some super crafty girls over there!

Now, go out and play with your favorite toy!

Coffee Love...

Happy St, Patrick's Day! The kids and I are decked out in green today and that's pretty much the extent of our celebrating!
I have a layout to share... I used this sketch from Sketchy Thursdays:And, going with the challenge of scrappin' your favorite drink over at These Are a Few of My Favorite Things, this is what I came up with:

And a close up... that is an actual coffee stain...
I LOVE coffee! My day doesn't start until I've had a cup or two or three... I treat myself way too much to our local coffee shop Heine Brothers and Starbucks, too. I like is strong, drink it black and consider it a necessity.

Hope you enjoy! Drink a stout beer tonight with your fish 'n chips!
