"Price Boys" mini-album

I have been working on this mini-album for a couple weeks now & just finished it! I gathered some of my favorite pictures of my two boys and their Daddy and put them in this mini-album.

Papers and most of the embelishments are from Basic Grey's Archaic line.

Newest scrap goodies!

Stopped by my LSS, and grabbed a few things.

Been wanting to try Doodlebugs Sugar Coated glitter, so I grabbed a bottle of the, "beetle black" glitter.

Haven't tried it just yet, but am really looking forward to trying it out.

To go along with that, I picked up the double-sided letters that go along with it.

They have so many different designs when it comes to the adhesive transfers, very difficult to choose just one, looks like I'll be going back for more, I guess. {darn!}

Also, I just couldn't resist:

Just loved it! The new Maya Road chipboard tree album!! So cute!!! Can't wait to get started on it!

I'm off to get some scrappin' done, will be posting completed projects soon-- and check back within the next few days for a GIVEAWAY!!!

In the Works

I have been so far behind in the blogging world, even the family blog I have slacked on. Been pretty busy lately, and trying to get things in order around here.

I haven't worked on any scrapbook projects for a while now, but I am feeling very creative and will be working on some projects this weekend.

I received my Project 365 kit a couple weeks ago and am totally loving it! I'm keeping track of my pictures and journaling in a word document and am slowly transferring that into the album. I think the whole concept of the this kit is incredible, I look forward to seeing the end result.

I started a mini chipboard album a few weeks ago, haven't quite come up with a title for it but the whole "idea" of the thing is my favorite pictures of the boys and their daddy! Throughout the album I have included little conversations that boys have with their Dad. I'm hoping I will get it completed here soon.

There are a few ideas going through my head lately on some new projects. I want to do something different. Something not everyone has done or already thought of. As I get the brainstorming ideas put on paper and more to a rough draft, I'll be posting what I have come up with the.

I hope you all had a Happy St. Patty's. I didn't take ONE picture that day, can you believe that!? So, I'll be some-what of a cheater and do a few to make-up for that day.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Party Planning 101-- Disney Cars Theme

Currently working on my son's 3rd birthday party. Decided to go with the Disney 'Cars' theme again this year. Both of the boys are into it & I just think all the characters are just adorable, especially that Mater!

Went to a party store located about an hour from us called, Party City--picked up a ton of decorations-- plates, napkins, balloons, pinata, goodie bags, banners, cupcake holders, etc.

I'm making cupcakes-- rainbow chip to be exact. Covering them with white frosting and using a red candy spray, topping them with mini characters from the movie. Titan's cupcake has a special topper-- this little guy right below...Living room will be filled with balloons hanging from the ceiling. As a door game, I am filling a Cars character with a bunch of candy and each guest must guess how many pieces are in it, closest to the amount inside, wins the whole thing.

Table scape:

Table Cover: Plastic matching theme cover found at the party store. Was going to go with a black & white checkered fabric, but it didn't quite fit the table right)

Centerpiece: Mater cutout (which was found at the Party store) I bought a 3-tier cupcake holder (Martha Stewart) which I am decorating it to match the theme.

I found this really cute red bucket that we are going to fill with ice and put some sodas and juices in. I also am making a punch-- Hawaiian punch, ginger ale & vanilla ice cream. Putting that in a matching red bowl.

Goodie Bags: Bought the boxed ones rather than the plastic. Only having a few kids, so I could go a little extra on the goodies. Filling them with some toys, cars, etc. Purchased some glow in the dark bracelets which the proceeds went to a children's foundation. Hubby came up with that idea!

We are also doing a pinata-- filled with tons of goodies, kids will enjoy that one!
We are going to cook hot dogs & hamburgers-- have chips & dip, chocolate covered pretzels & candy to munch on.

I'm really excited for this & can't wait to get the decorating started tomorrow. Enjoy your evening. Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's.

New Approach to Blogging

I decided to start using my blog as my journal. My space, if you will. Random thoughts, notes and sayings that I can refer back to for furture reference. I've tried the approach of having a journal nearby, but either kids are getting into it or I have misplaced it somewhere.

It's been crazy around here lately. Still have things from the old house in boxes. (which are being stored in our garage-- thank goodness we have a 2-car garage!) My hubby is here for 3-weeks and we are busy doing family activities, etc. This isn't a bad thing if you think of it, I'm getting a lot of pictures taken so I can scrap while he is gone.

My current projects are as follows:

1. Cricut Vinyl-- Get my quotes cut out and mounted in the living room, scrap room & bathrooms. Not quite sure what all of them are going to say yet, but I have the vinyl, so I'm one step closer.

2. Complete January Layouts-- I'm starting a Family Album which will include layouts of each month's highlights. Not quite keeping up with that.

3. Project 365-- So far, I have been staying up to date with that. I keep a Word Document saved on my computer of each day, the picture I will use and some journaling that will be added.

4. Preston's First Year Album-- This is where I am REALLY slacking-- I haven't even started on this album & he will be 2 in August!! Not stressing it. Keeping a journal to the side of what's going on as well as keeping his baby book updated.

So, that is what I am working with right now. Lots and lots of projects, some smaller ones on the sides that aren't really a priority right now.. I'll get to those later on.

Have a wonderful night & Happy Sunday!
