Yep, sorry if you checked in this weekend to only find my Friday post, but I took a break from blogging. It was a busy weekend with soccer, Tim working, church, and a trip to Kings Island for a few last roller coaster rides before they officially close for the Winter. It is hard to think that winter is around the corner with it being sunny and almost 85 today. Although I didn't post anything this weekend, I did get in a little stamping. Actually I got to scrapbook and I am hoping to get a little mor
e done this afternoon (I'm supposed to have a friend over to scrap with). Here are the two pages I did this weekend. I am proud to say that one of them is actually a page from 2008! It seems like a miracle that I actually made it into this year! I was so excited to have these pictures to scrap. The boys get so excited every year Tim brings out the electric train (around the Holiday time). They will sit for hours and watch the train. It is hard to remember the "no touch" rule and they bug Tim all the time to run it, but it is hard to tell them "No" because they just get so giddy about it. Besides, Tim loves it too. He is such a kid at heart! So I was glad to have these pictures to put on a page and tell the story. The layout comes from the Sketch 1o2 class. I did keep it super simple and really didn't add any embellishments. The other page here is also a layout from the sketch class and I already did a page using it, but this was also a CASE of my good friend and stamping buddy Crystal. She is the featured Nimbee member over on our group blog. I loved this page of her's and it inspired me to make this 
page come together. I really wanted to case her page exactly because I just love everything about it, but I couldn't find any pictures I had printed up that would work with it so this was my Plan B. I do love my page and again I was able to tell the story of this one toy that all the boys adore. It is a ball popper. It blows air up through the hole and these light, plastic balls pop on out. All three boys will just giggle and even belly laugh every time this toy is turned on. The other favorite part of this toy is the air. These pictures show Nicholas standing over the air while it blows into his face and hair. He just thinks it is the funniest thing. The simple things in life...don't you wish it was always this way?! Hope you are having a fabulous Monday! Hugs,

I love these pages!! Is that pacific point?? LOVE it paired with the black!
ReplyDeleteWhat neat pages, great layout and the kids sure look they are having such a good time!!! Kings Island wow I have not thought about that place in lots of years, I used to go there once a year when I was growing up in Dayton. Wow I remember having so much there I'm sure your family had a great time there this weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pages, love them! I had to laugh because Adam has the exact same ball popper and loves it! In fact we had to take it apart a few weeks ago because he shoved something down in there and it got stuck. It now needs new batteries, imagine that!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need a break, no worries! Your pages are awesome! What fun pictures and times to scrap! That toy sounds really cool, I'll have to look for it, seems like I'm always needing gift ideas for kiddos!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a fabulous break!! I like to do this once in a while too!! These pages are ALL stinkin' adorable!! :) TFS!
ReplyDeleteSweet pages Lisa! I wish I lived closer- I would come over to scrap with ya all the time!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI believe we used to have that toy as well!
