Another Month, Another Desktop

The Shabby Princess is my hero! I was looking at my desktop at work today, realizing that I had spent much too much time lately stamping that I hadn't made a new one for the current month! So here it is, complete with fresh pictures from yesterday's pre-first-day-of-school photo shoot!

A Leisurely Evening

This layout is pictures from a beautiful beach front walk at sunset. Can you tell I am just enamored of the ocean? It was so peaceful and serene. These pages use a kit called "Melon Sorbet" by Maria la France. I need to get some of these babies printed and into my album! I am behind on the printing, go figure.

Just a Stroll on the Beach

More vacation pages! These are photos of the kids strolling the beach and playing in the waves. I used a kit called Two Little Pixels by Sharon K Designs (another amazingly talented designer!!!)

Cabana Shores

A completed another layout for our vacation scrapbook. I am in a creative groove this morning! This layout was created using Sweet Serenity from the Shabby Princess (I adore her stuff, she is so talented!) Two more layouts and I will be done with 1/4 of the photos from vacation!

Finally Finished Another LO

And it feels like it took me all day to do it! I almost finished scrapping 1 of 4 CDs of photos from vacation. This one was some random pictures that just really leave me all warm and fuzzy feeling inside. One of the most special moments of our vacation was when we walked on the beach together, just Dale and I. I used the Coconuts kit by Jacque Larsen, Barcode Rubons by SVDesigns and Spring Break by Heidi Williams at Weeds & Wildflowers. Let me know what you think!

Sweet Daughter

I found this note on my desk a few days ago from my sweet little girl. Newspaper Alpha by Rikki Donovan, the gorgeous silver swirl is from the Christmas Brites kit by Sharon K Designs, and the remainder of the layout is from the Tonight kit by Jennys Scrap Place.

My New April Desktop

I have been using desktop templates since December to change the desktop on my computer each month. Well, I decided to try my hand at it this month and this is what I came up with. The paper, clip, rhinestone and ribbon are from a kit called Mediterranean by Laura Bozeman, the calendar is from Ellie Lash, and the frame is from Lindsay Jane Designs. The photos are some of my faves from South Carolina. I love the one from under the boardwalk, it shows so much dimension!

Beachy Fun Pictures

I had to redo this first page because I had first done it on the new laptop and I couldn't for the life of me figure out with the new program how to do drop shadows. It's really hard to switch programs and learn it all over again with a different program! So I gave up and made a new page and this one I love so much more! The whole layout was made with Inflor- escence by Carrie Stevens at Fish- scraps.com. I am LOVING this kit!

Beautiful Southern Homes

Here are two more pages I finished today. The arch- itecture and the homes were so striking and all I kept thinking when we'd see bright coral shutters or a seafoam green cottage was that color schemes like that would NEVER fly up north here! These were made with the Berlingo kit made by Fran Designs except the Green Glitter Alpha which was created by Vicki Stegall.

Barefoot Landing

This was the other really neat mall in Myrtle Beach. It also had a lagoon but this place and foot bridges to the other side. There were turtles and birds all over the place. I also loved the rocking chairs every- where. It really was a different pace of life.

Cover Page!!!

This is about the only photo from our vacation that all of us are in!

Broadway at the Beach...

This was just the coolest place I think I've ever been to shop. Even cooler than the Mall of America I think! The mall was layed out around a lagoon and the little groups of shops dotted the walkway around the lagoon. There were two Christian store there where we found lots of cool goodies to take home. The mall also boasted a mini golf course and some wonderful rest- aurants. Surely there was more than I could fit into a 2 page layout! It was certainly an experience I can't wait to enjoy again!

More Vacation stuff...

Can you tell I really want to get this album finished? These are actually two of the first pages, besides the Title Page which I will hopefully get to show you later! This was the kid's first "com- mercial" airplane ride. They have been in a six-seater before. They were so excited to leave for vacation and they behaved so well, even though we were running on very little sleep! Enjoy!!!

More pages to share...

Here's another page with the Flatten family and us on the beach in MB. And a page about the fun and slightly weird things we saw there.

A Day of Firsts

I am going to do my best to get something in here at least several times a week if not more. It's sad that I got it all started and set up and then never continued with it! Here is a layout that I made, also from our South Carolina vacation. It is Jonas' day of Firsts. He got to dip his tootsies in the ocean and he got to float in the pool back at the house. He is such a doll!

One More Page Before Work

I managed to finish one more page this morning. This is my son with Mark and Amy's son. Gabriel was so enamored of him! The kit is again Boy Fashion.

Mark Amy & Jonas

This is the first page of several with our friends who came to visit us in Myrtle Beach. Isn't that little boy a sweetie!!?!?! The digi kit is call Boy Fashion and is by Ilona Hamp, The Heart eyelet is from Misty Cato, The chipboard date pieces are by Janel Kretschman, and the torn corner was created by Sara Ellis.

Arrrrrr, I'm on a roll!

Ok, one more set of pages for the day, then I think I am done for the evening. This completes one whole CD of pictures though, which means I have 3 more to go! These photos were also from the Ripley's aquarium, in the Pirate exhibit. This kit if called "His Stuff" and is made by Jeanelle Paige.

Ripley's Aquarium

More pages from today's rather productive scrapbooking session. These are from the Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach. The digi kit is called "Boardwalk" and is from Sara Carling. Thanks for taking a look!

CANNONBALL!!!!!

This page was so much fun to make, but a little difficult. If you read my previous post, you know my computer hates my photo program, well, I did both these pages at the same time, now it hates me even more, but I did it! With no crashes to boot! I love my camera, I can do so many cool new things with it, including live action continuous shooting. These pages and the previous ones are so fun! Digi kit is called "Surfin' Safari" by Jennilyn Designs. Just so cute and soooooo much fun stuff in there! Perfect for the SC vacation! These are the two pages side by side.
