Fun stuff

All the fun Hawaiin things we tried out.

Drinks and Cheesecake

The best part of the trip...the fruity drinks and cheesecake!

DOLE plantation

our trip to dole plantation and cracking our own macadamia nuts.

Diamond Head

Pics from our hike up the mountain

Polynesian Cultural Center

This was our favorite place we visited!

Beautiful Hawaii

Thought I would start out with my least favorite page...though it is growing on me. It was just a random grouping of photos I had.

1st page

The opening page of the album.

Hawaii Album Day 1

I just finished creating our honeymoon trip to Hawaii album. I finished it right before our 8th anniversary! Once I decided to do it, it took me about 2 weeks to finish it up. It came out to be 36 pages, and I also made the cover and back cover. SO digital scrapbooking has become quite the blessing to me. What I couldn't accomplish in nearly 8 years I was able to finish and cross off my list in only 2 weeks ...For the next 2 weeks or so I will be sharing with you all the pages from that album. I used the same digital kit for the entire album to tie it all together, but you will see how each page came out completely unique even when using the same kit. Check back daily to see the new pages! I will be getting this printed through shutterfly (when I get a good coupon) in 12 X 12 size, and I will post a picture when it arrives! I am so excited to get my first book made and see how it all turns out!Front Cover Back Cover

Lightning Bugs

It was so cute to see Zach trying to catch lightning bugs for the first time! It's like all of the sudden he realized they were there. He would get so excited when he saw one light up and when he caught one! I personally love the little LIGHTnin bug elements on this page!

Swimming in the Lake

Josh was quite the water bug! I was shocked to see how much he LOVES to swim! He couldn't get enough, it was really cute. I made this same exact page with Zach's pictures too...got 2 pages done with just making 1! Gotta love it!

Imagination Movers

Here is a layout from our trip to see the Imagination Movers in concert with Zach last fall. He loved it!

You Scream for Ice Cream

Well I think the title says it all. You would have thought Josh was being harmed in between bites of ice cream, but no he just wanted MORE!

By the waterfall

I had these beautiful pictures of Zach playing by a waterfall, I had to scrap them. Not every page has to tell a story or be a memory. I like to scrap just beautiful pictures that I will want to look back at some day. How about you?

Watermelon

Another group of photos that I had envisioned scrapping for the past 4 years. And here they are...DONE! So cute!

Happy 4th

So finally something that's in season! Here is one of the pages I made for this years 4th of July. I still have probably 2 more pages to get all of my photos scrapped. But I thought I would share this one in a seasonally timely fashion for you...to maybe inspire you to finish your 4th of July pages!

Baby Zach!

Here is a page I made of Zach when he was 3 months old! I remember how much I LOVED these pictures when I took them, so I couldn't wait to finally get them scrapped! It's so fun going back and seeing Zach as a baby, and finally scrapping the photos the way I had envisioned 4 years ago, but never found the time to make happen. Digital scrapbooking has been a tremendous gift for me, and eventually my boys since they will always have their books.

Fishing at the lake

I have an overabundance of fishing photos! These aren't even my most favorite! But I scrapped them anyway, they might not make it into "the book" but onto a scrapbook CD probably!

Shamrock Shakes

Yep I am out of season again :) But here are the pages of of the boys enjoying shamrock shakes around St. Patrick's Day this year!

Sprinkler

Fun in our first sprinkler run of the summer! I used a template for this page where you just drag and drop your papers and photos, quickest page ever!

Lake Fun

Some pages of our fun at the lake. Did you know if you want to see the pages larger and more up close you cab just click on them! How have you been enjoying the regular posts? I am doing pretty good huh?
