trying to watch his toons

I made slits in the pictures and then ran the ribbons through it three times. I liked the ribbon as a border for a change. The ribbons is not as bright as the picture shows so it ties in a lot better. I also didn't want to have the photos over lap so I cut a triangle off of both corners so they would match up. The tags in the back were randomly placed before I put the pictures down that way it looked more random then planned.

It's always time to play (clock)

I have seen this idea for retirees but I wanted it to fit in with play time. Next time I'm making one for scrapbooking. Maybe even a "There's NO time for whining!" haha

Kelly and Me

I made the flower out of another page that I liked. and used a sticker in the middle of it and ribbon for a stem .

Gideon's club house

I wanted to have the picture of Gideon in his "club house" framed so I drew bricks. What do you think?

so very you

I saw this idea in a book. And I thought it was cool how the pictures looked behind the ripped frame.

Hold me Mom


It was so sweet how Riley just wanted to be held when he was sick, so I wanted to keep this page simple to focus more on him.

soft & sweet feet

my belly , my canvas

Mirror Mirror in my hand

I love this picture of my son because he just sat there and stared at himself for the longest time. I wonder what he was thinking.
I used tin foil in the center of the circles to give them a mirror look.

Happy and Handsome

I used an overlay on this page but put embellishments on top and underneath it to have it look more layered. I also put tear-drop bubbles over each letter of "handsome" because to me the letters did not stand out enough. The pictures to the right are made to look like he is looking at the words "happy and handsome". Let me know what you think.

These feet are made for Walking

My son started walking on his own when his friend was over. It was kind of like "if he can do it, so can I" type of deal. And since then he has not stopped moving!
I used paint behind his pictures to break it up a bit. And the words between the pictures are from a label maker. The other words I traced onto a different sheet of paper, I then outlined them to have each letter stand out more.

Riley+Toys= Tub

Riley has this new obsession with throwing his toys and whatever else he can get his hands on in the tub, it's like his own little toy chest. So over the next week I'm going to be taking pictures of whatever he decides to throw into the tub to make a page out of it. So far he has gotten fairly creative on what he wants to hide in there. THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING!

100% boy

Riley climbed up his Hippo walker to get Corey's food after he had just ate his own dinner (and it was all over, thus the reason for no shirt). I photo edited the pictures so that Riley was the only one in color, I liked it better that way.

Me

I needed to create a page about me, so this is what I came up with. Words that describe me and a warm design. I glued beads along the edge of my picture and used a few different rub-ons to make the design on the right stand out. I hope it shows my style.
