I was able to get some more scrapbooking in today! Here is the next sketch copy that I did… I was unable to copy it exactly as my photos were turned, but I love the idea and incorporated many of the elements…
To view my inspirations from these layouts, please stop by Amy’s blog here. And be sure to leave her a comment!
Thanks,

This is a challenge for myself, but I would LOVE company! I want to scrapbook one page a day (or a double page layout)… I also want to try something that I have rarely done and that is to copy or use a sketch to follow. A stamping friend shared this wonderful blog with me. She mostly scrapbooks 4x6 pictures on 12x12 layouts. I love the simplicity of this idea. I will *try* to share one a day! Please leave a comment letting me know what you think and also visit Amy’s blog as well.
Here’s my first layout.
You can see the sketch here on Amy’s blog. I did convert it to 12x12 as hers was done in 8 1/2 x 11 and added a picture, plus turned some of them.
Thanks Amy for such wonderful inspiration!

Yesterday I started scrapbooking again… it had been a while. Costco is having their sale on 4x6 photos, so I printed up a bunch and dug in…
Here are the pictures… 
This is Trenton with his baby cousin (1st and only so far) Logan. This will go in Trenton’s book.
This is Jaydon holding Logan. This will go in Jaydon’s book.
This is the journaling I did, I used the MDS for the type and then used my new alphabet stamp set for the “Logan” sign. And attached brads in between. Look for a new scrapbook page tomorrow! I hope to post one a day for the month of August! Also, will be using a wonderful blog to gather inspiration… more details on that tomorrow. Please feel free to leave a comment below! I love hearing from you guys…
Blessings,
Heather
Jaydon had the opportunity to go to Washougal this year for Nationals (dirtbikes) so Mark & I packed up the car and took Bolton & Trenton to the beach, 
You know when you do laundry and there is more sand in the dryer lint catcher than lint… and I rinsed everything out at the hotel before packing, lol. 
Bolton loves sucking his thumb… every time we’d have to wash his face and then try to get as much of it out of his mouth as possible, but he didn’t care!
After a fun filled day at the beach we hit a great restaurant (we’ve been there many times) where they have chalkboard tables for the “kids” to doodle on before their meal gets there… Galway Bay!
We stayed 2 nights and then went to our favorite hotel in Tukwila, WA (Comfort Inn & Suites) and then headed home on Sunday. It was a wonderful time spent with the 2 youngest and although we missed Jaydon (he came home Sunday night), the boys needed the break from each other.
Now I have to get back to that laundry and off this computer!
Thanks for stopping by!

We had a great morning! Yesterday Jaydon, Trenton, and I hit up the local craft store and found these adorable bags! This morning we started decorating… using scrap fabric and the big shot Trenton & Bolton now each have their own swimming bags. Jaydon gets to make his this afternoon (he spent the morning with Grandpa) and I will make one for myself too! Mark will get one if he is luck, lol.
The bags are made with 100% cotton and are machine washable (a plus for any Mom). Must give credit where credit is due…I saw this great idea on YouTube (search for “justasip”).
Going to be selling these, personalized on the spot, at a local craft fair in November…. due with baby #4 in late October…. yup, I’m crazy! Two years ago when I did this craft fair Bolton was only 6 days old :-) Oh well, if you’re going to go crazy might as well have fun doing it! If you want one before November email me at stamp-aholic@hotmail.com.
Thanks for stopping by!
