That Smile

I put this layout together quickly using the TLC artists choice for February. It uses one of the new release retro runway kits and the retro rub-ons. I think it turned out pretty darn cute. I didn't get my journaling done, but I did leave a spot for it :)

Chore Chart

I made this chore chart for my 3 year old. The top of the columns say Do It and Done. The stars are laminated and have velcro on them. It hangs on the wall with eyelets and twine. The chart itself is about 10 1/2 x 12 the top portion is about 10 1/2 x 4. It is very sturdy, as it used 3 pieces of heavy carstock for each section.

Canyon loves moving the stars on the chore chart. I need to put more toy pictures on the last line though, he tries to tell me he only has to pick up one toy. The first time I showed it to him he was rummaging through his toys to find a fire truck that he could put back away.

This kit is a discontinued TLC item. I have a few left if anyone is interested in one. They come with tons of different pictures to use for the chores, and several different girl and boy faces for the "o" in chores. scrapwithtessa@aol.com

Marshmallow Shooter

Look at that face!! I bought these marshmallow shooters for JT and Marissa, assuming Canyon would not be strong enough to shoot them (pump action). Boy, was I wrong! The look on his face says it all. He would shoot all the marshmallows at his sister, then scurry around stuffing them in his mouth. (5 second rule) Can't wait to scrap this photo.

Baby Shower Invitations

These are invitations I made for my friend Kendra's baby shower. I used Basic Grey paper. The baby was already born when the shower was held, so the invitations also listed her birth stats on the back of the tag. The card opens at the straps of the dress and has all the party info.

Birthday Explosion Box

This is a class kit from Bo Bunny. I didn't do anything special. In fact, I followed the directions and example almost exactly. I had to put it on here though, because it turned out so darn cute. I think this is the cutest explosion box I have ever seen (pat on the back (kinda))

Hirchert family picture

This is a family picture from 1979. I am the cute one on the right.

I love how this layout turned out. I tried to make it look kinda retro. It is very simple and took me almost no time at all, other than deciding where to put the flowers. It was also the first time I tried rub on stitches. The little bubble brads were a Target dollar bin purchase last Valentines day.

Mom, you're my best friend

This is one of my favorite layouts.

Journaling Reads:

You said this to me the other day out of the blue.

I got the biggest grin on my face. You made me so happy.

Since then, you have been calling Daddy &Marissa

your best friends slso, but only one at a time.

It makes me sad to know that you won't hink of me

as your best friend for long, but I

will always remember that I was your first.

Love,

Mom

You are my sunshine frame

I scraplifted this cute frame idea from a class at a local scrapbook store. I believe they got the idea off two peas. It uses Sweetwater paper, buttons, and blossoms.

Kendra's baby shower tin

This is a lunchbox album I did for my friend Kendra for her baby shower. I think it turned out pretty cute. The tabs say: Your Arrival, Family, Milestones, Favorites, (can't remember) and Wishes.

The idea was to have everyone at the shower make a card for the baby, Ellie. The cards could have messages, or wishes. It didn't exactly work out like I planned. The only people that made cards were the scrapbookers. Oh well, it is still pretty cute.

The paper is Basic Grey Two Scoops. I bought almost everything at our local scrapbook store in Rapid City, Altered Art and Scrap Playground. (see my link)
