Christmas Thank You

We have soooo much to be thankful for! When I look at the pictures of the kids with their gifts, it makes me feel so thankful to have so many wonderful people in my life! They are all such blessings to me and my family. Nana, Papa, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins blessing each other each year with gifts of love! Sketch n Scrap has a great sketch that I decided to use to scrap the pics of the kids with some of their gifts that they received last  year from family members.  Their Sketch: My Take: To Create this layout I used: Recollections: Christmas Noel paper stack Cricut Cartridges: Create a Critter - blue gift Birthday Cake - yellow gift Celebrations - red gift Storybook - Title Thank you so much for stopping by!

Check out my spoil: Yup, my husband and kids got me the new Explore Air 2. So excited! As soon as it was "okay" to sneak off and play I immediately went to the craftroom and got it set up! And, created a couple of quick projects! Ok now that that's off my chest here is a sketch challenge that I participated in! I am just about finished scrapbooking last Christmas. Yup, just in time to begin scrapbooking this Christmas. Well, at least I'm not years behind anymore!

Vacation Fun Layouts

I wanted to take a moment to share some more layouts that I have completed recently. The first is a hike we took nearby our home. Elijah was so excited because he found a rock that looked like the Millennium Falcon. I just loved the pictures of the kids walking through the grass. It made for a fun layout.  The layouts following the hike are all about our trip to the Oregon Coast. Such a great trip and fun pics to scrapbook!

I subscribed to Cricut All Access for a couple of months and had way too much fun! I am definitely gonna have to repeat that! While playing around I found these Crazy Cute Cards.

Happy Thanksgiving

Image
Thanksgiving is definitely the time of year where we are reminded that we should be thankful. We are so blessed, with so much. When I begin to really think about everything I have, that I've been given, been able to experience, my home, my family, my friends - I am truly humbled. I don't deserve any of it, yet the Lord has seen fit to bless me beyond expectation.  This year has brought many changes in our lives. We recently made a move to Coeur d'Alene, Id and the kids are going to a new school. We have actually been homeschooling for the past two years so I was able to develop a special appreciation for what the teachers in our school do everyday. So, when we were given the opportunity to bless our teachers with a luncheon during parent/teacher conference week I decided to make some goodies to add a little thank you to their lunch.  This came at a perfect time for Fantabulous Cricut blog's challenge this week. The challenge was to create a thank you project.
