Jaxon's a Computer Addict!

This boy LOVES his laptop- I mean how ridiculous is it that at 4 he has his own laptop anyway? He plays games, mostly online at Nick Jr. or Disney, and would play all day and night if we let him. Then again, with this digital scrapping, you could easily substitute my pic in the layout! This isn't a good pic of him because he's biting his lip, but its because he was concentrating so he could get to the next level! :)

Our Trip to the Beach

We took a family vacation last weekend in July and had a great time. A tropical storm was headed that way, and we almost decided to skip the trip, but since the condo had already been booked, we went and it was beautiful the whole trip! Jaxon LOVED the waves, but it wasn't Marley's gig... she much preferred the sand! :)

This is a two page layout from the beach. Sand and water papers, and alphas from Princess Pamela's Digitreats and template from Tracy's scraps.

Random pic of Marley

One of my boards has a challenge thread where we have to do an LO using a certain kit and this was my page. All of the papers I used came from Shabby Princess called Express Yourself and the template called Window pane is here.

Birth Announcement

One of our friends just had a baby and sent pictures via e-mail. So what did photoshop-addict Stephanie do? I made a birth announcement. I made it "smiley" and "X"ed out their names for their privacy, but I was really happy with the announcement and wanted to share it.

Birthday Layouts

Jaxon's Fourth Birthday at Ready, Set, Play! This is the Swirl Template from Princess Pamela available here. Her stuff is great! Papers and elements in these birthday layouts are from Miss Mint's Party Pants kit @ Peppermint Creative.



Here's a "Busy" birthday layout...


And here was his birthday invite and my first attempt at digital scrapping. It's not great, but it shows me how far I've come too. I was going for the comic book/superhero look, but fell a little flat. I also edited out the personal info so there are blank spots where the phone numbers, address and website were listed. :) The papers and elements are from Joy Crowley's Comic Junkie kit available at Oscraps.

Jaxon's First Soccer Lesson

Jaxon was so excited to start soccer lessons and I was ready with camera in hand to catch him in action... or so I thought. The lighting at the indoor arena was bad and I didn't have it on the setting for that, so all the pics blurred. I still wanted to commemorate the day, so here a slightly blurred LO.

Celebrations and Holidays

This is a 2 page LO from our fourth of July. Hopefully the journaling shows on the computer... it is so much easier to read in print than on a screen. They also look so much better side-by-side... oh well!

Jaxon and his Family

Brian hates this picture of him, but I love the moment it captured, so I made an LO out of it.
Template by Friske available here. Paper and elements from In Dreams add-on kit at Oscraps.

This one was of Jaxon and his Aunt Lindsay in the backyard at our house goofing off (hard to believe, huh? Ha ha!)
