Are you making spring break memories?

Here are my boys and I on the beach- the Oregon coast

I hope you are all making some unforgettable moments of your own!  Whether you gearing up for the spring or not (depending on what part of the world you are in), I just wanted to remind you to keep documenting all your moments.

Time moves quickly, so lets not forget how important it is to capture and record life's moments!

Wake up on the RIGHT side of the bed! A NEW Release!!

No waking up on the wrong side of the bed today!  I'm so excited to tell you that I collaborated with the talented Katie of Key Of D Designs to bring you a huge morning time kit called Rise And Shine.  This is truly a unique kit.  There aren't a whole lot of kits available specifically for documenting your morning routines, but now you have just what you need for your morning moments.   I wish I had photos and stories documented of those special times in the a.m. when I was growing up.  We used to watch cartoons on Saturdays, watch our mom cook breakfast sitting at our breakfast bar, and when we wouldn't get out of bed we would wake up to mom's silly rendition of "Zippity Doo Dah."  It sure would be fun to have those memories in my own childhood albums.  I think I might just have to scrap those times myself now so I can share those memories of my childhood with my loved ones.  Especially since there is not the perfect kit for it!  I also have some great "bed head" photos of my boys I can't want to scrap with this!  This will make a great kit for job charts too!  Don't forget to scrap those very important every day morning moments.  These are the moments you will cherish.

Here is the kit.  Introducing Rise And Shine by Key Of D Design and Unforgettable Moments...

 This kit is more like 2 kits in one.  We packed it full.  It has TWO different alphas one round chip board and one double matted kraft for some fabulous title work.  It is stuffed with some super neat word art, some themed, and non-themed elements.  This weekend this kit is on sale for 25% off!  Normally $6, but you can get it for $4.50.Here are some layouts from the CT and the GS site CT.  As you can see the kit is versatile enough to make any page whether it relates to the theme or not...

The Party Month

March is crazy for us.  We have a birthday to celebrate every couple days- we are quite the party animals this month lol.  I forgot to bring my camera to the one on Sunday, but I snapped a few pics at the one on Saturday.  Here is one of my little boy who is 21 months old today.  He is playing in a child's bedroom with the "big kids."

He is learning how to smile on command.  When I say "can I take your picture" he will turn and smile for me.  Sometimes his smiles aren't always authentic (he has the "cheese" down really well lol).  This is opposite for my older boy.  He turns the other way or makes a silly face when I want to take his picture.  I want to remember this moment because it is the first time my "baby" disappeared into the host child's bedroom to play with the big kids.  Every time I checked on him he was thoroughly entertained. He doesn't act like a baby anymore.  He can play out of my eye sight with his older brother and  the big kids.

Are you remembering your camera when you go to parties at other people's houses?  Don't forget to bring it so you can document all the fun moments (big and small).  It may not seem important now, but I bet you will appreciate it years down the road when you can look back at these moments and realize they will be unforgettable because you tossed a camera in your purse.

New Templates!

I have a three year old that I call my "little charmer."  He is always saying charming things to me.  His newest saying is, "Mom you are beautiful like a princess."  LOL!  Where did he come up with that?  His early charming ways, paired with his baby blue eyes means we might me in trouble in a few years when he is older.  Here are a few snapshots of him a few days ago when we woke up to a white world, which only lasted this one day. 

 

 He is a charmer.  With the release of my Rustic Charm collection I had to make a template pack that was also charming like my sweet boy.  The "What A Charmer" Template pack was born with both the Rustic Charm kit and my little man in mind.

You can pick up these templates in the GingerScraps shop for only $2.25 through Sunday!  Don't forget to check out Rustic Charm while you are there.  The templates and the kit make a great pair.

 Everything is sold separately also (the items below are included in the full kit, but can be purchased separately)...

There is a Quick Page Set available also

I love looking at the pages that were made using the templates...
