Raise your hand if you're a busy mom who has more crafts on the must-try list than you'll ever have time to actually accomplish. Oh, you too? I love papercrafts, fabric crafts, home decor -- you name it, and I want to try it. This is where I share everything I squeeze in after the kids are in bed and the laundry's done!

Goal accomplished! The boys' birthday layouts...
I started planning these layouts right when I had the pictures taken after the boys' birthdays in December but it's taken me this long to make it happen. I'm SO glad I wrote down all the little things I wanted to put on for each of them back then, because they've already changed so much and it's only been a few months! I wanted these to coordinate but be different to reflect each boy's personality. They also fit perfectly with another of Robyn's National Scrapbook Day challenges: to make your own background paper.
Here are the details:
All the PP and chipboard is from Scenic Route (LOVE this collection for kid pages!)
For Joshy's page I printed the journaling and circle, then cut it out. I used my Cricut (George cartridge) to cut all the circles, then just fiddled until I liked the way it looked.
Sammy's page is pretty self-explanatory, but the big photo corners are from the Cricut Jasmine cartridge.
TFL, and hope you all enjoyed National Scrapbook Day! And wow, I'm noticing I REALLY need to clean my scanner glass!
Thank you so much for playing!!! You did a fantastic job on the challenge!!
