Madelyn's Annual Handprint~Year 1!

My son has a nice collection of 5 of these now (see previous post) and it's now my daughter's turn to start her handprint tradition, since she just turned One!

I went with light pink on pearlescent hot pink paint. I use a metallic silver marker to write her name, age, and the date (which is on the side.)


She moved (who knew) so her face is a little blurry

Checkin it out

I hung it over her dresser-I'll have to move it in the future when she gets more.

"Bye-Bye Tree" Scrapbook Layout



I'm scrapbooking out of order these days, which not-so-secretly drives me nuts! I'm just trying to get some layouts done in my "spare" time, so I'll pull out whatever topic inspires me at the time. A few weeks ago, I pulled out these pictures of when my son was 18 months old. (He just turned 5 years!! And yes, his hair is crazy in these pics!) Hope you're in the mood for a Christmas layout!

We were boxing up the Christmas tree after all the holiday festivities were over, and he was a little sad about it--until we put him inside the box, too.



To make this layout I used 4 photos, a piece of 12x12 patterned scrapbook paper, part of a cardboard box that I tore into the shape I needed, some baker's twine, some pearlescent green paper that I hand cut the little trees out of, letter stickers, and a little bit o'bling! It went pretty fast, which is good since I'm several YEARS behind! lol
