Life is very different now with the
twins and it changes every day.
The girls are now 5 months
old and getting so active.
My Husband and I found this adorable
Combi GT Walker & Jumper and knew it
would be a great way to keep the girls busy.
We only have one but we're
working on getting a second one.
Ava is more active then our calm little
Olivia so the car is perfect, it keeps her
busy and she love that we can push her
around on the tile now.
Olivia likes it but she can't last very
long in there, just wait till she can
reach the ground, then she'll be off speeding.
This week's sketch at Sketch Inspiration
was perfect to document this new adventure.
Head on over and check it out!
Happy Scrappin'!
For this weeks Challenge we needed
to take our inspiration from paper
lines by October Afternoon.
We need to take the name of a paper
line of theirs and use it as a title
as well as use the same color scheme
from that paper line.
Then pick three standout colors in
the collection and predominantly
use them on your layout.
Olivia & Ava were not quite smiling
back to us yet at this point, but
during one of Olivia's naps I was
able to catch her smiling.
Yes some people say it's gas, but
come now it's so cute when they "smile".
I used the Title Day Dream I thought it
was fitting with both colors and title.
Be sure to check out Tally Scrapper,
the ladies there are FULL of
inspiration and there are always new
challenges to get your mojo in gear.
Every year Tally Scrapper
hosts weekly challenges
during TV Survivor Season.
I try to participate every week,
because not only does it motivate
me to try something new but it
also helps you complete projects.
During Week #1 the challenge was to
create a map layout, use at least
three different patterned papers &
follow the idea for map from Kelly Purkey.
I have yet to finish the album
from our 5th Anniversary so this
will make the perfect cover page.
I Cheated alittle :0).
I used my 50 states Cricut
Cartridge to start my map and
cut it into pieces from there.
Once assebled I used one photo from each
place we visited and used circles and
ovals to cut them out and attach to the page.
I used twine and arrow brads to indicate
where each place was located on the map.
Thanks for looking
and Happy Scrappin'!
Hello Friends,
It's been so long since I posted.
July I think was my last post.
Since then life has
certainly become different.
August 22, 2011 we welcomed into the
world our beautiful little Cupcakes.
Olivia Marie, 4lbs 15 oz, 16 1/2 inches
& Ava Danielle 4lbs 4oz, 16 1/4 inches.
The Cupcakes were 4 weeks
early, but so healthy.
Olivia however was a little to excited
coming into the world and took some liquid
into her lungs with her first breath and
it caused complications with her breathing.
She stayed on oxygen for alittle over 3 weeks.
Now Olivia is happy and healthy little baby.
Ava has been a little diva from the start,
she lets you know what she wants.
She's also a happy and healthy little baby.
They just got to 2 months old as of Saturday.
Both are double the weight just about and
slowly fitting into thier larger newborn
and 0-3 month clothing.
Being the proud mommy and daddy we've already
taken them to Sears and Walmart for photos.
*Tip- Sears has a better set up &
ends up the same price as Walmart!
Not mention we've taken lots of
photos since we brought them home.

What a difference just a few weeks.
Where did all the chunk come from? :0)
I have been crafting, though now it
takes a few days to finish projects.
So I'll slowly be loading new projects
here on the blog over the next week.
I hope to drop in more often and
share a tutorial or two soon.
Happy Scrappin'!
