Two Page Layout - "Super Dad"

Father's Day is here! I hope you are honoring the Dad or Father-figure in your life. If you still have your Dad here in this world with you, that is something to celebrate. I found a layout from Father's Day 2015 that I never posted. Once I found it, I drafted and scheduled a post for today so that I wouldn't forget again!

So much has changed in 4 years since these pictures were taken. Our little grandson is now 5 and nothing babyish about him anymore. Time sure does fly. I know this was one of my hubby's favorite Father's Day because he received this cornhole game made specially for him by our two sons!!! We play this game so much every summer. Our boys put a lot of work into it and it's been a source of joy for all of us. I'm the only one who kind of sucks at playing it, but I play anyway!

I love this license plate paper and the red ruler washi tape. Perfect for the masculine layout.

So proud of the men in my life!! My father is now gone, but my husband is a great role model for manhood for our two boys as they start their families and take care of their wives, children and their homes.

My hubby spoils me rotten and I'm forever grateful to God for helping us find each other!

Enjoy your day!!

Two Page Birthday Layout - "Another Birthday"

We've officially been in our new home a full year! How exciting!!! Time has flown by, but we're loving this new chapter of our life called empty nesting. Sometimes it's a little lonely, but I'm not home that much to really think about it or get lonely.

This celebration is the first one in our new home! We had only moved in a few weeks prior, but we managed to celebrate my sweet hubby in the midst of it all.

 These are my favorite humans right here! We even rocked the group selfie with my oldest creeping on me! I sure do love them all! There are so many families who struggle to get along, but most of the time we enjoy being together. We're so blessed to be in close proximity, too.

I'm loving the polka dot with the little green plaid banners. I used a border punch along the edge, cut some plaid banners to match the photo matts and topped it off with an adorable deer paper clip. I am slightly obsessed with antlers right now. I used my Cricut to write the journaling! It's so much neater than my own. I will continue to throw in some of my own handwriting in all my scrapbooks, though. It's easier, and it makes it more personal. Some day, when I'm gone, they will appreciate seeing my scribbly writing, just as I do my Mom's writing, now that she is gone.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! 

College Graduation - two page scrapbook layouts

It's been so very long since I posted! Thanks for hanging around long enough to see another post. Life has been good to me since April, and I hope it has been for you as well.

My "baby" graduated from Ball State University a few Decembers ago. Here are the layouts of this major achievement! What an exciting day!

I like the way they both turned out. I really can't pick a favorite...Can you?

 I'm a multi-photo layout kind of girl! I put a lot of work into all of them, and I can rarely tell the whole story in just one photo.

It's good to be back in the blogging saddle! Life has just been very busy lately, but very good!!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Purple Mayhem"

Are you ready for some purple? My son was part of a men's a cappella group called Note to Self at Ball State. The whole family went down to watch one of their performances called Purple Mayhem. Whenever our two boys get together they get a little goofy.

 Oh man...the girls were swooning with my two handsome boys showing off their modeling poses.

 The paper is Teen Angst. I've had this stack forever and have enjoyed it immensely. It's edgy, bright colors with metallic accents are pretty fun. Since both my boys are sporting facial hair, I thought a mustache would be appropriate, along with the mustache washi. Super silly!

These two crack me up and I can't get enough of them. They've grown closer now that my oldest is married and out of the house, and it's fun to see them goofing off.

My youngest is now graduated, but Note to Self lives on and is becoming more well known in the world of a cappella.

Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a wonderful weekend.

Two Page Layout - "9 Months"

This cute little guy is about to turn two years old in April!! Time flies. I'm so far behind on scrapping. This layout is his 9 month pictures. Isn't he just a little doll baby?

 I love these big blue eyes, and that bald little head. Time is flying way too fast with our grandchildren, just as it did with our own children.

Thinking back really puts time into perspective and helps you realize what's really important in life.

 Thanks for stopping by my blog!! 



Double layout - "No Shave November"

The men in my family like to show their manliness by growing out their facial hair for "No-Shave November".  My youngest is definitely gifted in the facial hair department. I remember when his face was so soft and smooth, like a baby's bottom...LOL! However, being a young, single, college guy now, he can do what he wants with his facial hair, so he takes full advantage every November....neck hair and all....eeeeeew.

 

Some of the guys at work participated too. I snapped a picture at the end of the month. Thankfully, they all shaved their necks. =)

I made my own mustaches with two different Cricut cartridges...The top and bottom are from Everyday Paper Dolls. These hair pieces look amazingly like mustaches, don't they? The middle one is from the Paisley cartridge (2 paisleys flipped and overlapped). Loving the argyle paper...looks so manly...and just happened to compliment the colors in the photos nicely.

 

My son made silly faces everyday when he took his picture. He really is quite handsome...more so during the other 11 months of the year. =) You'll have to trust me on that.

 

This is a crazy busy time of year, but I will do my best to post more often...Next time with some cute layouts of my sweet grandbaby, rather than unshaven men. =)
