so far, my favorite photo of the bean and one of my favorite lifts ever; thanks for the inspiration melissa w :)
this was done for a challenge on scrapbook.com; since the internet has become so prevalent in our lives, we were challenged to create a layout featuring an online site we frequent. i based this on a pagemap from june. i used two facebook apps to tally the most-used words in my status updates and then to choose the statuses i found the most amusing or to be milestones, or a few that i felt just captured my life. i think the snapshot this provides of the last year of my life is pretty neat.
this is a little outside my normal style, but i like how it turned out. this was also for a scraplift challenge on scraplift.com
the large star chipboard is covered in a mix of pearl ex & glossy accents and gold stickles. it's from magistical memories; i bought some of their chip and LOVE it!
this is the closest i can come to a masculine layout ;)
one of my best friends got married in new orleans a few years ago and i'm still working on the wedding layouts :)
my daughter and a couple of friends entertaining themselves at hobby lobby while their moms scrap-shopped. we may have set up the first shot...
i made my own mist; equal parts mod podge and water. i used pearl ex and adirondack inks for the color, and used a piece of chip (magistical memories again) for the mask. and seriously...
who DOESN'T love a little baby booty??

The rose border is a piece of Prima's Sew Cute stitched mulberry paper; I hand cut out the bordered edge. The piece under the photo is another corner of the paper. 
Isn't she a cute little bean? This heart tree is chipboard from Magistical Memories; I love their chip! It's thin and flexible and the cuts are so elaborate and clean! I dry brushed it with some pink paint and then used a Photo Stain Distress Ink pad to brush across in the opposite direction for some contrast.
This uses the February 2010 Commit2Paper kit, which you can find here. I love these Little Yellow Bicycle papers and embellishments. This is based on a PageMaps sketch. I love a naked baby!
This is mostly all Prima; I added some Bazzill chipboard, Tsukineko ink and a piece of vintage lace from my stash (I inherited a couple of boxes full of vintage trims from my husband's grandmother when she gave up her sewing supplies!) I attached the lace with a few cross stitches. The chipboard was painted with luminous pigment powder mixed with Diamond Glaze, on top of a coat of acrylic paint. All her little parts are so sweet :)
This is the Crate Paper Katlin collection and another PageMaps sketch. I love Thickers in general, but these puffy glitter Thickers are beyond fabulous! At 10 days old, I was already amazed at how many expressions my little bean has.
I love Bazzill dotted swiss cardstock! The papers here are from a Sandylion Disney Princess paper pack; the flowers were cut from a sheet of patterned paper. Evie loves being a big sister so far and wants to hold Ellie all the time. She got the biggest kick out of taking these photos :)
