Taking it easy

It feels like forever since I posted.  I was on such a roll.  I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Can you believe it is December????

So I spent a little time in the hospital this weekend.  I was having a lot of pain and possible back labor.  So I was told to take it super easy (which I was already supposed to be doing early on in my pregnancy).  The nurse literally said bed rest until I can see my doctor again (probably today).  Well...scrapbooking is taking it easy, right?  :)  The boys spent time with Grandma, and I rested a lot.  Then last night I put on White Christmas (my FAVORITE Christmas movie) and scrapbooked!  I made sure not to walk around or exert myself.  Hubby brought me supplies and I just laid/sat and got a lot accomplished.  :)  These are the pages that I made, all from the November Scarlet Lime kit.  

The journaling isn't really as hard to see as it appears in the picture of my layout.  Here is a close up of the journaling:

And this one had pull out journaling in that pocket...journaling from three different perspectives: mine and both of my boys.  :)

And I may have overdone it with the glitter on this one.  :)  

I have more work to do today...some cards I have to get done, so hopefully I will continue to feel ok so I can get it all done.  :)  Hope you are all having a terrific day!  

A Couple Layouts

Yeah...got time today to play some with my October kit from Scarlet Lime. Don't know what I am going to do when Hayden stops taking naps, because right now I love it when Austin is at school and Hayden is taking a nap, and I get scrapbooking time. :) Well, here's what I did today:

I am thinking that I will make a third LO that is similar and then hang the three on the wall. :)

Summer 08 Mini Album

Have you guys done one of those accordion mini albums?  I had never done one and saw one featured on Scarlet Lime...and I just had to try it!  So I got their project kit and followed her instructions.  It was a lot of fun and it was also easy.  Here are some pictures of how mine turned out (click on them to make them bigger):

All supplies came from Scarlet Lime's August project kit (which is all sold out!) and the instructions for the album can be found here.

I got a special treat for you!!!  :)  

I have one Scarlet Lime August Project Kit to giveaway!!!  And I am going to do that now.  :)  All you have to do is post about this giveaway somewhere online (blog, group, etc.) and then leave me a comment on this post (please include a link to where you posted about my giveaway!)  All supplies in the kit can be found here (scroll down to the "project kit").

GOOD LUCK!!!  :)  

Grilling

Makes me look forward to all the grilling we will do this summer.  :)  This is another LO I did with the Scarlet Lime kit.  

Another LO

Another LO from my Scarlet Lime kit.  :)

Around the Dinner Table

I made this page with the May add-on kit from Scarlet Lime.   I am really pleased with the way this turned out.  And I love this old picture...it's like I can imagine being there with them.  :)

A New Tradition

This year for Easter we were given a gift.  It was the book "Benjamin's Box" and the Resurrection Eggs.  We had never seen these before and were very blessed by them.  If you haven't heard of them, you should check them out.  Anyways, we decided we should make this a tradition for our family.  Every Easter we will read the book and open the eggs.  Once the boys are older we can take more time to reflect.  This got me thinking about traditions.  When did we start doing things a certain way?  Sometimes we document a tradition that we have, but we rarely seem to know when it started...which of course made me think that I should document the start of this new tradition...so here it is: 

There is a fun little crease in the page because the boys left a toy car on the stairs...and my clumbsy self fell down the stairs holding my page.  Can you believe it?  I am just glad it didn't get more ruined then it did.  I did this LO with my first Scarlet Lime kit (LOVE IT!!!)
