As you can see we have been busy enjoying life & family & friends :)


Oh & yes, I have been scrapping too - not as much as I might like but I still have plenty to share :)


First up - A Page 4 All Seasons . . . this is my last month designing for them.  While I have enjoyed my time with them, I am keeping my commitments to a minimum these days :)  Check out the December kit - full of Echo Park holiday goodness . . .

  6. Terrific photos and you sure look like you have been busy! Amazing creations and I am totally in love with the "9 Months" LO with the beautiful heart border! Lovely to see you scrapping a LO about yourself. The 8.5x11 size is a fun size.
