first

ride in the jogging stroller



in honour of Kiara's jogging stroller milestone i thought i would share this page.



i still love this paper by Tinkering Ink.

the tag is an altered tag from Children's Place....it has little snowflakes encased in clear plastic. not your ordinary tag at all!

i do have to confess that i have seen some other layouts that have had more intricate cutting of the large snowflake, and i wish i had tried that! maybe used some pop-dots. or some glitter. i put this together last year, so i guess i need to be less critical of myself. we scrapbookers are a funny bunch. all the work that goes into these pages...and then a year later we are wishing we had gone a different route! after more ideas have been published....and more products are available....



i have to often remind myself of the purposes of my scrapbook albums.

first and foremost they record memories that i do not want to forget. they are an heirloom to me.

second it is an outlet for me to be creative. and i should be congratulating myself that i see things i could have done differently! doesn't that mean i am actually learning something new as the months or years pass?


and some days....i need LOTS of reminders! why are we always hardest on ourselves?

acrylic winter album

is finished!

if you ever get the opportunity to make an acrylic or transparent album, do it!!! they are not as difficult as they look and that might just be the best part. and i can't forget to mention that they're fun too.

this is the front cover (obvious, i know!)
it looks so neat when it is opened like this...and wow lots of pages
somehow managed to put 2 photos of Aidan and i

here....still have one of Kiara and i....

hmmm...not sure what i will do yetAidan was making "snow marshmallows" for Kiara

tough to tell here...but Aidan made a snow angel on first page

and on the second page...Kiara is standing just above the

finished angel

and that is the end.

so fun!
