Layouts & Some CT work....

I've done some scrapping in the past month or so, and I don't believe I've shared it with you (bad CT member, bad!) I've slowly been trying to scrap some of my newest little man's life....it's so much easier to journal about these precious moments when they are still fresh in my mind. So, here are some layouts for you to enjoy this Saturday! If I didn't add anything extra, they should be linked to their additional credits. :D

I'm hoping to spend some time this weekend doing some more scrapping or working on photo-gifts for Christmas! The baby (and his daddy) is sick and cuddly, and I've gotten pretty good at scrapping one-handed! So as long as big brother behaves, I'll be hiding out in my office/craft room this weekend!

Pinterest for the Holidays....

With Thanksgiving, and Christmas Decorating, only a week away, I have been getting tons of ideas for holiday fun on Pinterest (if you don't have an account, leave a comment with your email address and I'll invite you!). I thought I would share a few of the inspiring projects today, if I actually complete them, perhaps I'll share the results as well!

Baby's First Christmas Ornament (I bought the ornament today, will wait for daddy to be home to do it so he can wash the hands while I finish it up)

Christmas Coal (My older son will be getting some of this in his stocking, or perhaps the real deal with a note from Santa that says something like "You haven't been the nicest boy this year, so I am leaving you some coal. If you don't improve your behavior, you will only get coal next year") 

Window Decorations - We have windows on either side of our fireplace. I bought red and silver ornaments to create a similar look with. 

And, what is the holiday season without cute photos? I think I might try a few of these ideas this winter....

Have you found any fun holiday craft projects? Feel free to share in the comments!

Heart Broken

Not everything we need to scrap is upbeat and happy, there are hardships we all face and these memories should be remembered as well. Heart Broken is the perfect kit to scrap some of those harder moments. The idea for this kit came about when my heart was shattered earlier this year and the realization of a need for a kit themed this way hit me when a dear friend shared she was facing the devastation and heartbreak of divorce after nearly 11 years of marriage. The kit includes many jounaling elements, broken bits, word bits, and of course, broken hearts. Whether you are scrapping something as devastating as divorce or you want to create a layout of your child's first broken heart, this kit is the one you need.

While the kit was designed to scrap some of the less fun things, it is versatile enough to scrap many other events as well. I have included non-broken hearts, two unique alphas and plenty of elements to allow you to scrap the happier times as well.

The Skribblers had fun with this kit, you can see just how versatile it is!
