Paige working on a valentine for me!

Today, while Ben was having a long nap, Paige and I did some crafts. I think we spent about two hours crafting! It's so nice to have a daughter that enjoys arts & crafts. I think she is a future scrapbooker! Above, are some pics of today's projects. Paige is very proud of this dinosaur 3D picture that is made from foam. We also made a bunch of stick puppets and Paige made me a valentine (she's holding it up in the first picture). She told me that she wanted to put lots of hearts on it because she loves me so much! :)

I also completed my week five layouts for Project Life. I'm really enjoying this project! It's very easy to keep up with. I print my photos out once a week and then it only takes about 15 minutes to put them in the album and write a bit of journaling for each photo. It's actually much easier to keep up with than I thought it would be.

'Sweet Thing' Girly layout

I finally got to do some scrapbooking tonight! Too often, I'm just too exhausted to do much at night, but tonight I was in the mood to scrapbook so I got to work and completed a two page layout. This layout was from a kit from Out On A Limb Scrapbooking. I changed it up a bit though since my photos were different sizes and I usually like to change at least a little bit if I'm using a kit. I got a little stickle happy on this layout so it has quite a bit of bling!!

My scrapbook room

There have been a few changes to my scrapbook room, so I thought I'd take some new pics! My husband gave me a Making Memories Embellishment Centre for Christmas, and we finally put it up tonight. I love it!

I also added some rods from Ikea to store some of my punches on. I saw that quite a few people on the Cricut mb store punches this way, and I really liked the idea so I picked up a few rods for my own punches.

The Coke fridge is a brand new edition that came from friends of ours. They were selling it because they didn't have a use for it and I thought it would be the perfect addition to my scrap room! Now I won't have to run upstairs for a drink when I'm all absorbed in my scrapbooking! LOL!!

Project Life: Week Four

Here are my week four layouts. The highlight of this week was finally being able to celebrate my son Ben's second birthday! His birthday was actually a couple weeks ago, but we had to reschedule his party a couple of times because of us all ending up with a bad cold. It was great to finally celebrate with family yesterday!
