Scrappin stuff

I am going scrapping all day this Saturday and I cannot be more excited! I have been itching to scrap and just haven't found the time. I bought a few new paper packs so I cannot wait to put them to use! I also have two new cricut cartridges I have been dying to try out. Here are a few projects I have been working on the past few days to use in my scrapbook.
I made a photo strip showing the outtakes on Jared and Josh's annual picture in front of the little tree. What a pair of goof balls!!! Collages are an easy way to get a lot of pictures on one page so I made one of Christmas day and one when the boys were out in the snow.

Better late than never.

This is a Christmas tree that Jared made in school the day before winter vacation. His teacher told me that Jared wasn't even allowed to lick his fingers because the frosting package said that it could contain traces of peanuts. I allowed him to eat some m&m's off of it when he got home. He was very proud of his tree.

Michael Beaver

While we were in NJ I caught up with a lot of girls that I used to teach with. I was very excited to see the newest addition to the clan - Michael Beaver. He is 2 months old and such a happy baby. of course I had my camera and I had brought my hats to show a pregnant friend that happens to be a fan of etsy.com (the website I ordered the hats from). I had no intentions of taking Michael's pictures but Kate's natural light in her bedroom was AMAZING!!! I asked Michael's mom (Kathy) if she minded and she did not mind one bit. Our "shoot" only lasted about 5 minutes since it was so spontaneous. Michael was such a good baby boy the entire time!

Annual picture

I took a picture of the boys in front of Jared's Christmas tree last year in their matching Christmas pajamas and I want to do the same this year. I completely forgot to take away the humidifier so that is an eye sore in the background. This picture was taken on Christmas Eve after they opened one of their gifts. That is the reason Jared is holding a gun. The gift was an FBI kit.
This was the best of the bunch. Josh is making his cheese face of course.
I told Jared we would take this picture every year and that next year's picture would have the baby in it. Jared's response was, "And Josh will be all grown up."

Eat Feet

I was in the kitchen when I noticed it had gotten very quiet all of a sudden. I walked into the living room to find this. . .
Josh enjoys taking his socks off (I actually take them off because he cannot do it himself) and running around the house. He finds it amusing. I have not seem him put his feet in his mouth in quite a long time so this was very funny to see.

Hand Made Gift Tags

I made holiday gift tags at my last stamping club meeting. We made 2 of each kind so we went home with a bag full of tags. They are so pretty that I want to keep them for myself, however, that would defeat the purpose of making them in the first place. I have used a few on some gifts and they look so pretty!The green tree is embossed - something new for me!
