Happy Birthday - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 These boys of mine are the absolute best!!! What an awesome joy and blessing it has been to raise them. Yes...they actually share a birthday so it's the best day ever!!

Today is their big day again and another celebration of their life! This layout features their birthday celebration from two whole years ago!! Proof that time is still flying way too fast. They are now 30 and 28!! Good grief! 😖

We always gather as a family to celebrate, even though it's tough to find a good day that fits everybody's schedule. We always make it happen!! There is always cake. I made this one from scratch and it seems to be a big hit...Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake. It's pretty dang good. 

They used to complain a bit about sharing a birthday, sharing a bedroom, sharing friends at a small Christian school. They had to do a lot of sharing, but we think they turned out all the better for it. They are so much fun and such a joy to be around. 

This page was super easy with wood grain paper and two small strips of fun, striped birthday paper! That is pretty much it. The title and balloons were cut with the Cricut and I added some mini numeric stickers to show how stinkin' old they are.

Thanks for stopping by today! Wish my sweet boys a happy happy birthday!!! 

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Big Kids"

Watching your kids grow up and become awesome adults is a major blessing! We snapped these photos of our sons and their wives enjoying Christmas last year.

 Our grands were already done opening and were playing with their gifts. Now it was time for the big kids to enjoy theirs.
These two boys are such a delight to us. We are so proud of who they have become and LOVE spending time with them just getting caught up on their week.They both live nearby and we can see each other often. That, alone, is a blessing!

I used super simple embellishments on this page. The gifts are simply rectangles with bakers twine tied around them and the poinsettias were made with StampinUp's 5 petal flower punch, doubled up with wood buttons in the center. For quick leaves, I used the same 5 petal flower punch with green paper and cut into multiple leaves and tucked them under each flower.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! More Christmas layouts to come!
