Have I mentioned I LOVE Pinterest??? This quote is definitely ending up on a layout soon - the longest title ever for sure - but worth it - so sweet :) Speaking of "new to the world" . . . Nicholas is growing, growing, growing - check out this 7 1/2 month old . . .

Oh the hair - his crazy, adorable hair . . .

And two little teeth coming in :)

And the pouty faces . . .

Just can't get enough of this little sweetheart :) And my other sweetheart . . . growing up too fast - wanting so much to be a "big boy" or "man" as he likes to say . . .

Photobucket

And in LOVE with superheroes - I mean seriously - obsessed . . . here's the Spiderman dance in action . . .

And just to show you how fast in all goes . . . from just a wee little one to Mr. All Grown Up . . check this out . . .




It both warms & breaks my heart to see this - I can't believe this was just 2 years ago :(

Anyone seeing signs of fall in your neck of the woods???? We've had some visitors :)

Photobucket

Looking for some Fall inspiration/ideas???? Check out my Pinterest board HERE - can't wait to try some of these :)

Haven't been doing as much scrapping as I'd like to recently - life has just been so busy . . . hoping some more time will free up when Ryan is back in school & we are all back into some sort of regular routine. I do have my Jillibean Soup projects from last month to share - seriously some of my favorites to date :) The first 3 traveled to CHA . . the layout was something I created inspired by this layout of Davinie Fiero.

This paper-folded design was so much fun & in person added such a cool dimension to the layout - I definitely recommend trying this one out :)

Photobucket

And tags of course - these are NEW products by JB Soup - the kraft tags come in 3 sizes & they are awesome!! I stitched like a crazy women in this layout & yes - even on these little tags :)

Photobucket

A few cards featuring the Homemade 6 Bean Soup as well . . .

And finally a layout just shared today on the blog for Maya Road week - this one a fun mix of JB Soup & Maya Road goodies!!!

Photobucket

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those Maya Road wooden buttons!!

See that JB Soup kraft folder peeking out :) And of course, all the fun JB Soup stickers & die-cuts, can't layer up enough of them :)

Has anyone noticed there has been a ridiculous amount of Manufacturer DT calls this summer - I have & I have been so very tempted to try out. But I didn't apply - not for one - I mean I wanted to - don't get me wrong - but there are also so many other things I want to do & try - some scrappy, some not. So I decided to see what I might experience/accomplish/try if I didn't have so many deadlines . . .

First up . . . figure out my camera - it is sinful really - I have had this great camera for almost 2 years now & am barely out of auto :( So I signed up for this which starts in just a few days . . .

Photobucket

SUPER EXCITED!!!!

Oh and later this month . . . venturing into the blog design world a bit with a blog design class here . . .

I'll keep you posted :)

Hope you are all doing well & be back soon - promise :)

  1. Amazing creations!! I just ordered two lines of JB tonight!! I am so excited to get it and play. I love your last LO and think it is yet another one of yours that I need to scraplift!! The boys are looking so cute. Ryan is so grown up looking now. Too fast for sure! :( Nicholas's hair is so sweet. So thick and a bit wavy! The classes that you are taking sound really good.

  2. That 1st LO I spotted in a CHA post. Fell in love with it!! Fabulous!!! I love the page of the boys together.. how cute is that! Oh the cutest story.. We were at the Mall of Am. in American Eagle. Brit was trying on clothes. Ben is by the registers, in front of the 3-way mirrors, dancing!!! There is always some of the current music playing in their stores. Even the young store employees joined in!! The cutest thing I have ever seen!!! I need to go back and bring hubby's ipod touch and record it!! Not too many signs of fall. It was 102 today. I am hoping Fall holds off a bit. Have a great holiday weekend, Julie!!1

  4. Your boys are getting so big. It seems like you just had Nicholas a month ago and now he is Mr. Personality and getting teeth. Where does the time go.
