Best Buds

What silly boys?!?  Trent and Jeremiah loved to sit together in the BIG chair.  The could both sit next to each other and just have fun.  I still own this chair...it was one of the first pieces of furniture I got when I moved out of my parent's house.  I found it at St. Vincent de Paul...I still have it (in the garage- for those of you who've attended event in my garage).  I loved to sit in that chair too...it was so comfortable...you could swing your legs over the side and relax.  It moved with me when Brian and I moved in together (of course with the kids too).  Then onto our next apartment when I was pregnaunt with Alex.  And finally to our house (where we live now).  It seems like more than a chair at this point....it's a memory of fun.  If only we wouldn't have broken the one side...I'd still have it in the house :)

Stampin' Up! Supplies:  cardstock: Always Artichoke, Bashful Blue, Creamy Caramel, and Very Vanilla; Varsity Alphabet; Various Buttons.  For the background I used the ink to paper (SMEAR) technique.

Jr. Pee Wee Football

I figured I would scrap the pictures for Jr. Pee Wee Football.  If I scrapped them, then I wouldn't loose them since these were taken professionally.  Jeremiah and Trenton were on the Columbus Jr. Pee Wee Football team.  Brian helped coach too.

 

For the background I used textured Night of Navy and stamped the images from Just Football all over in the same color.  I then swiped the background using pad to paper technique.  For the titles I used the Varsity Alphabet along with the Stamp A Ma Jig to get the letters lined up properly.  Some simple matting using Summer Sun and Whisper White completed the pages.  I stamped and cut out some images from Just Football to add some dimension and football related diecuts.

Scrap Night at my Sister's

I am really enjoying scrapping every few weeks over at my sister's house.  Sure it's a pain in the butt to pack up what you "think" you'll be using...but it's a lot better than not getting anything done.  And I know I always hear that people never have time to scrap...well this year...I'm MAKING time!  That doesn't mean that my house isn't going to stay clean or I'm not involved in my children's lives...it just means, I'm taking time too...to do what I love!  But anyways...one to the pages!!!!
