Ultrasound Photo Scrap Pages

I saw this cute kit by Kristie of Snippets, Inc called It's All About the Belly and just had to have it!!!  It is sooooo completely perfect for ultrasound pics so I dug mine out from my piles and piles of photos, that only took like an hour itself!, and scanned them in so I could do a few pages.

I did one for T - he's almost 6 - so I'd say that's a fair amount of time to get around to scrappin his ultrasound pics right??  he he  It is blue and baby boyish and so cute!  The page says "When I saw your picture, I was already totally and completely in love."  And I am still as smitten with my little boy as the day I saw his ultrasound photo :)

And I did one for our baby girl, Chloee.  It was a super hard page for me to do - so emotional.  I was looking at her ultrasound pics and realized that her main ultrasound was done at 5 months old in utero.  And I was just musing about how she lived to be only 5 months old in life.  So I decided to do a page with the theme AT 5 months and how things changed so drastically from those two different times.

Journaling:
At month Five in utero, we had just found out
            that we were having a baby girl.  I cannot say
                how excited we were.  Our hearts were overjoyed,
      bursting with love for you already and we hadn't
   even met you yet, just seen your picture on the
                 screen and felt you moving inside me.  I felt
          nervous because you and Tyson were going to be
   so close together in age - only a year apart but
so excited.  I loved you so much!  We couldn't
        wait for you to come and for all the hopes and dreams
                    we had for you to happen!

At month Five in life, you died.  I could not believe it. 
          What has happened to all of our dreams and
                                                             hopes and wishes for you? 
        Did we really just bury you after your five month
      birthday?  How could this happen?  Why did this
     happen?  We spent so much of your five motnhs of life
           trying to fix you and save you and for what?  To make
                        your life harder and more paintful?
        I felt like life had suddenly, horribly gone wrong.
               We missed you immediately and
                                                           we still do now.

             Five months was not long enough to hold you
                                                                                in my arms.

T telling jokes!

My sister has been putting so many videos of her cute baby Connor on her blog that she inspired me to do some!  This is one of T telling jokes!

Guesting Pages for Graham Like the Cracker

I spent some time last month guesting for the digital scrap designer Jennifer Graham aka Graham Like the Cracker and I wanted to share the pages I made using her cute kits!

I've been trying to do a page for when we wrote the girls' names in the sand for sooooo long now.  Nothing seemed to look right.  So when I got to use her new kit Drift Away, I was inspired to try yet again.  Here's the page I came up with that I actually love now:

Next, I used her kit Mischief Monsters to do a hidden Mickey we found on the Monsters Inc ride in Disneyland's California Adventure park while there with our good friends and fellow Disney maniacs!!! Kari and Alan.

When I saw her kit Sweet Spontaneity, I knew I had to do a page for Chloee.  It is so Chloee-esque!  Pink and bright and beautiful of course...  She fills our lives with sunshine still.

And likewise for Bree with the kit Purple is my Signature Color because it was!!!  Everything purple reminds us of Bree.  Here's her page with a very precious photo.  My heart is tied to her with heartstrings.

And finally I had to do a page for T with her kit Junior and all things boyish!  Here's my Rambunctious Boy(s) page of T on a go-cart but he was too little to pedal so his Daddy had to push him around the track!  he he

Disney Scrap Pages

My new friend Natalie has a brand spankin new kit out for Chip and Dale and for all of your nature, outdoorsy pages at Disneyland or Disneyworld.

I just adore my page of T meeting Dale at Goofy's Kitchen in the Disneyland Hotel.  (We go there every time we go to Disneyland because it's so awesome!  Jake loves his peanut butter and jelly pizza there!)
And another page from way long ago when we went to Disneyworld with my whole family - back when we didn't have any kids and we actually had money to fly somewhere...   he he!  Kids are better than money anyway :)

A Frog Prince and A Purple Heaven

Kellybell Designs has her newest kit out!  It's a Frog Prince kit called On the River made for the movie The Princess and The Frog with Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen.  I wasn't sure what to do with it because I don't have any pics with those characters and my boys weren't too thrilled when I made them go see it (at the DOLLAR MOVIE!!).  But then I remembered that I do have frog pics!  We went to Yellowstone a week ago and T found a frog at the cabin!  So this is the page I made for him chronicling the day he caught a frog :)
Then after seeing the cute stuff in the kit and all of the purpleness... I had to do a page for my Bree-Elle.  It's called A Purple Heaven :)  Love you, BreeBree
