Scrapbook Layout - 2010 Trip to Calgary

We took a few days and went to Calgary...this was his first time in a long trip in the car (not long, it was only 3 hr drive) and the first time in a hotel.  Loving the green with the brown.

Road Trip & Motel sign are from Summer Vacation
'to' is from Street sign
Calgary is from Mickey Font

Heart is just a stamp that I hand cut, same as the brown banner

Scrapbook Layout - 2010 Capital Ex

We went to try out our local exhibition, which used to be called Capital Ex.  This is a boring page but I included it because of the ferris wheel.

The ferris wheel was from Summer Vacation, which I cut in 3 different colours...then I left the white one in-tact and cut the blue piece to attach and I believe I ended up colouring the red ring...but I might have cut it...can't remember..

The heading is from Carousel.  For some reason, I had a hard time gluing these pieces to look right.  Easy and makes total sense when in CCR, but once cut, it really hurt my brain.

I guess I forgot to photograph the 2nd page...oops, that's where the journaling is.

Scrapbook Layout - 2010 Ready Set Play

Had some friends over to play in our backyard one afternoon - the kids all had a great time.

The title is from Boys Will Be Boys

The play structure is from Fast Food and I attempted some highlighting of the colours with my copics

I believe I made the grass with Martha Stewart's scissors

Scrapbook Layout - 2010 Bath Time

Another one where everything was cut using plain white card stock and then I coloured...might have been with chalk though...can't remember.

I started with a few clouds and then welded them together.  Then i cut out a variety of water drops and tucked them here and there all over the page.

Clouds from Artiste and Noah's ABC Animals
Water drops from Noah's ABC Animals

Winnie the Pooh from Pooh Font Set

I have no idea where the heading is from - I'm often using more than 1 font, if I don't like the capital letter on one, but like the lower case. 

Scrapbook Layout - 2010 Swinging Time

Another basic layout - I believe this one uses Lyrical Letters.  SEE....way too many photos

There is a funny story talked about in this photo.  PJ loved to 'fly' and be on his stomach being swung.  He also wasn't really realizing that he had to HANG ON to the hanging part when being pushed on a swing - nothing that even occurred to him...or to GJA to remind or teach him about.  I was in the kitchen watching them swing and then I saw him go FLYING off the swing and did a face plant into the grass.  No injuries and he quickly learned to hold on with both hands!

End of school gift card holder

This year I made a new card for teachers.  I started with the crayon box from Simply Carmed.  Once I separated the pieces, I duplicated the front curved piece and welded it to the main crayon box so there would be a place for writing.

I had to make it quite big so the wide gift card holder would fit.  I glued the crayons to the gift card folder so all the teachers needed to so was pull on the crayons & the card will come out.

Since this was so big, I had no big envelope, so I used patterned paper & made paper bows

Scrapbook Layout - 2011 Best Friends

We went to play in playgrounds with friends we had known since PJ was 3 months old.  All these kids were just about to enter kindergarten & we would see less and less of them all after this summer.

It was the first time P.j actually played WITH the kids & really loved sitting in this spinning thing!
