Growing Up With Jaryd

Hi all!

I'm carrying on with layouts of my son Jaryd.

I had a lot of school pictures that I never scrapbooked.

The unfortunate thing is that they weren't all marked

with the year or grade. so I've put them in somewhat of an order

that I think is correct and did a couple double page

layouts with them.

These last 2 pictures actually did have the years on them,

so I know they were when he was in high school.

I'm sure there are some missing pictures and these stop in 

the 2007-2008 school year, I know there must be 

a couple more around somewhere.

This is what happens when you don't start scrapbooking

when your kids are born.

I'm so far behind that I'll never catch up.

He's now 24 and I'm just getting to these pictures.

Thanks for popping in today,

see you again soon.

Until then,

create something beautiful.

Jaryd Nursery School

Hello blog friends!

Today I have another layout for you.

This is of Jaryd in nursery school

I was there on picture day, so they let me have my picture 

taken with him.

He was so excited to be able to do that.

This is his whole class. I wish I had all the names 

of the kids in the picture.

Jaryd met his best friend, Brian, when they were

3 yrs old.

They are friends, like brothers, to this day.

I wanted to "highlight" Jaryd and Brian in the class picture.

Brian is my #2 son.

Our families have always been close.

I have a whole scrapbook that is just the 2 families 

doing things together.

We don't see each other as much as we used to,

but we always know we are here for each other.

Isn't he just the cutest little guy ever?!?!

Thanks for stopping in today.

Keep coming back to see more of the layouts

I have done recently.

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

What cute kids!

In March I was at a weekend crop with friends

and got some layouts done.

As usual, not as many as others, because I'm one 

of the world's slowest scrappers, but I was also

one of the ones that organized the crop, so I had 

other duties to take care of.

I love these 2 pages!

These are my kids, Kelsie and Jaryd

and these are a couple of my favorite pictures

that I took of them when they were younger.

We were on a vacation when I took this picture of Kelsie,

I love her beautiful red hair!

I fussy cut the flowers from some patterned card stock

that I love.  I thought the flowers were perfect for this layout.

This picture was taken of Jaryd at Glen Park, 

which is near our home.

Was he the cutest little guy, or what.

It was difficult to decide on an embellishment for 

his page, but I think the buttons worked well.

In real life the red ones show up much better.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you will come again soon,

I'll be showing more of my layouts

that I've created recently.

Until next time,

create something memorable! 

A couple layouts

Hello all!

It's been a while since I showed you some layouts.

Well, it's been a while since I worked on any to be honest.

I was on 3 design teams and as much as I loved it, I found I needed to cut it down to only 1 team.  I wasn't getting any scrapbooking done and that was my first love.  So I made the decision and now I have more time to do some of the scrapbooking that I want to get done.

I am notorious for scrapping out of order.

I've been working on a lot of different times in my life.

My kids are now almost 23 and 20 and I've been working on things from when they were little ones right on up to more recent times.

Today I'm showing you a double page layout of the day we had

Jaryd's senior portraits done.

I love how they turned out and need to do another LO so I can use more of them.

Sorry about that glare, I used some Flip Flaps

(I think that's what they are called) from Close To My Heart

and getting a good picture without reflection was near impossible.

Here you can see how they flip up to see the other pictures.

I love these Flip Flaps. They just stack one on top of another.

It's a great way to fit a lot of pictures on a layout.

 

This next layout is of a day spent at Niagara Falls with some of my husbands "art show friends" from out of town.

We went on the Sky Wheel to see the Falls.

I'm afraid of heights, but this was just beautiful.

I'll be doing a few more LOs of that day.

We had such a great time!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Leave me a comment if you will and come again soon.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
