Girl Diaper Cake

 

 

My niece is expecting her first baby and her Mom bought her a blanket that is done in brown, hot pink, light pink and white with ladybugs on it.  So I copied the "theme" of her blanket and make this diaper cake to go along with it.  I then made a card that matched the cake to go on the blanket that I'm also giving her.  I actually bought the blanket to put inside the cake but it was too tall and I didn't want to unroll it and then roll it again the right size since I had enough diapers for the cake without it so I'm just giving it to her as part of the gift.  I hope she likes it!  My family thought it was cute!

"Fair"y Good Time

 

I did these layouts to go with my Fun at the Fair layout!  We had such a good time.  I had forgotten my camera, so all of these pictures for these layouts were done with my camera phone.  Who knew that I would be so thankful for such silly simple pictures.  I love preserving all of our good memories.   Here's to camera phones which provide better than nothing pictures!  LOL.

Lady Bug Shaped Card

I found this challenge where the prize is some of Scrappy Moms stamps.  I haven't tried any of her stamps yet and they are so cute that I decided to join her challenge and made this cute little ladybug shaped card to go on my baby gift for a shower I am going to next week.  I think it's cute!  I made it to match the diaper cake that I will be posting another time.  Isn't this ladybug sweet!  The colors for the shower and nursery are hot pink, light pink, brown and white so voila!  One cute shaped card for my gift and one completed entry for the challenge.  Double duty....love that!  Now if I was only lucky enough to win to try some of her stamps it would be ever better!  LOL.

U Are Bee-utiful Layout

My daughter took these pictures of herself in the mirror one day after she had curled her hair.  She is growing up so fast and is so beautiful, I "snuck" them and had them developed.  She hates it when I steal pictures of her that she's taken to scrapbook, but I just couldn't help myself.  No longer do I have a cute little baby, sassy toddler, or even little girl.  Now I have a young woman and I love her more now that I ever thought possible.  They grow so fast.  Love you sweet girl and to me you will always be my baby!

Got Sun Block Summer Layout

Here is another cute layout that I did with a lot of different files.  The bird, crab, and bottom border are Little Scraps of Heaven Designs, the turtle is and SVGCuts, and the Got Sun Block is a Scrapping Bug Designs file.  I like to mix and match my files...especially it I don't have a whole set.  All of these files listed are freebies that they gave away once upon a time.  I think they all look cute together even if they are all from different companies.  These ladies all create fabulous files and it was fun using them.  :-)

Snow Fight Layout

 

 

My husband was out snowblowing and my son says, "Dad, can we have a snow fight?"  His Dad says, "I'll win."  My son, laughing, takes a huge shovel of snow and throws it at his Dad.  His Dad stops, turns the snowblower his direction and keeps moving snow.  My son was covered from head to toe!  It was hilarious and my son was laughing so hard.  Somehow, my son still thinks he won that round?????  I was so glad I was out there to get pictures of my son who loves the snow anyway, when this little exchange happened.  It was fun to see this whole thing play out and to have pictures before, during and after!  Such fun.

Dragon School Layout

These little dragons are from Designs on Cloud 9 and my son loved them so I thought I would put them on a layout for him.  Please ignore the dark blue paper on the bottom.  It's to cover the names of the kids in the class for safety reasons.  LOL.  It's not part of the "official" layout!
