AQUADUCK
This is a layout just recently published in the May/June 2013 issue of Creating Keepsakes Magazine. The Aquaduck is a HUGE water slide on the Disney cruise that we took last summer. It actually went out over the ocean! It took my son a few days to get up the courage to try it, but once he got on, he never wanted to get off! All of the product is from The Splash Collection from Little Yellow Bicycle. The sticker letters are American Crafts.

LOVE NOTE
This is a layout I did of a love note from my son that I happened to secretly find written in my journal! It was just recently published in Creating Keepsakes: Scrapbooking Boys and Men. All of the supplies used are from The Note to Self Collection by Echo Park. I love the fact that I will have this "snapshot" of time forever.

FAMILY
This was a quick page I did to showcase some of the photos we had taken  in the fall for our Christmas card! As you can see, some were funny, and some were serious.....but we had a blast doing it! All of the product is from The Naturals Collection by Little Yellow Bicycle. It was so easy to use and coordinate with the colors in the photos and the idea of  fall and being outside.

My Wish For You...
I thought it would be neat to do a layout of Aidan's birthdays from the past 8 years -to show a progression of his maturation. I changed all of the photos to black and white and used muted colors so the focus would remain on him. I also used mostly metals for my embellishments to compliment the black and white scheme. Once the page was completed, it was really neat (and sad) to see my first born grow up right before my eyes! Make note of the clock that I used in the beginning of my title! Most of the products are from Prima, Tim Holtz, and Bottle Cap, Inc.

MONKEY SEE...MONKEY BOO!
I finally got around to scrapbooking Liam's Halloween page from 2012. I always enjoy doing  layouts about autumn and all this season has to offer. I go crazy picking out embellishments! Most of the product is from The Haunted Manor Collection from Doodlebug. The sticker letters are American Crafts and the flattened bottle caps used in the title are from Bottle Cap Inc.

STAR PLAYER
This is a page I did for a Little Yellow Bicycle challenge using their Naturals Collection. I won this challenge as well! The patterned paper is from an older collection of theirs -Acorn Hollow. Every year my sons are fortunate enough to get special VIP passes with my dad to get onto the field for batting practice before a game. It is always a great event for them and our Reds are so generous with their time to pose for pictures and sign baseballs! Brandon Phillips is one of their favorites.

I'm with the BAND

This is a page of Aidan's first time at a concert AND his first time with VIP passes! He was able to meet Rascal Flatts at Riverbend! Talk about cool! Love the way he's standing in the middle, arms crossed, just posing like he's in the band! I loved how I was able to use his ticket and backstage pass as part of the layout. I used a multitude of products for this layout. The paper and stickers are from Reminisce and We R Memory Keepers. The brads are from Echo park and the sticker letters are American Crafts. Thanks for letting me share.
