This is a layout I did as part of a challenge on scrapbook.com. The point of the challenge was to incorporate circles into your layout. As you can see I used a lot of cutout circle shapes, and I also used polka dot paper and ribbon to add to the theme. I also did some stitching by hand around the edge of the paper that holds the title as an extra touch. I just recently got into stitching on my layouts and I think it really helps to spruce up pages. I usually do it by hand, but if you have a sewing machine, you can use it as well.

Since I love to scrapbook, I have taken a step further and started to make my own cards. Here is the first card I ever made. It was for my aunt and uncle, who had just had a baby boy.

The stamp is from Stampin Up and I colored it in with Stampin Up chalks. The background is just brown cardstock that I stamped  to cover with cute baby words in white ink. The rest is just standard scrapbooking paper that I cut into various shapes to arrange in a nice pattern. The flower is edged with brown ink to give it a nice shadow.

This is a two-page layout I did of Ava’s first Halloween. She was only five months old at the time, but we thought it would be fun to dress her up and take some photos. As you can see, she is absolutely thrilled about being stuffed into that spider costume!

I’ve scrapbooked a whole album dedicated to Ava’s first year of life, and I have to say I’m quite surprised that I actually finished it! Anyway, I thought I would share a couple of pages with you. This is a two-page layout about Ava’s funny facial expressions that she used to make as a baby. It’s one of my most favorite layouts:

I love to scrapbook, it’s a nice hobby that helps make beautiful pages of family memories. I have several albums and pages completed, so I thought I would share one of them with you. I made this page based on an online challenge that I participated in on Scrapbook.com. Basically, it lists ten things that I would like to do before I kick the bucket, which will hopefully be in a very long time from now because I still have not tackled anything on that list. What about you? What would be on your list?
