Easter Morning

Sketch 17 Finished.
Bailey's First Easter.
I am buying/using many more bright colors now days, although I still tend to ink the edges of most papers. Bailey loved all the bright colors of the toys in her Easter basket.

Busy Little Hands

Sketch 15 - The layout is complete except the journaling. Which will read

When Bailey gets near the computer
her fingers go right for the keyboard
and she starts tapping away.
(7 months)

I had no ink in the printer, so I will finish that part later this week.

This is how she rolls

Bailey isn't crawling yet, but she is definitely mobile.

T.G.I.F.

This has been a long week. So much going on (Easter, Taxes, Birthday). I never got a chance to slow down (except at work). My house is a mess(or at least I think so), and I have piles of laundry, some needs to be washed and some just needs to be folded and put away. However, I did take time to create a page using this weeks sketch. I had a rough time deciding what pic and colors, etc. to use for this one. I finally went with cardstock, paint and ink (no pattern paper).
I really needed a little time to relax, unwind and create!
Tomorrow, I'll be off to buy a new scrapbook toy or two with my birthday money.

Easter

We had a nice Easter!

We attended service at Alyssa's church in Branchville, it was the first in their new building. It was Tony, myself, Alyssa, David and Bailey. Rena also met us there.

Later we had everyone at our house for Dinner. Kourtney, BJ and my Dad also came. By days end, Bailey was worn out, as were the rest of us.

I really could have used another day to get some things done and maybe relax a bit.

Sketch 14 - "She" Caputred Our Hearts

From the moment she looked at us with those big eyes, she had us. She was so alert and checking out everyone. There were lot's of visitors waiting for her arrival.

Sketch 14 - Week 14, still on track. I hoping to go back and try some of the earlier sketches that I missed before I started.
Not a great scan, but I love the layout.

Sketch 13 - St Patrick's Day

I did it! My 3rd week, my 3rd sketch layout. My sweet grand daughter, Bailey on her 1st St Patrick's Day. My table is now a mess, as I was having a little difficulty deciding on how to make my title. I tried some computer generated words, played with paint and foam stamps, tried some grunge board, pulled out several types of sticker letters, ran to The Scrapbook Princess to look for more sticker letters and finally decided on letters cut using the Sizzix and then topped them with a little Stickles. I'm happy with the final page, although I may add a little ink to the edges. I love inking my paper!
