So this year money is tight, big surprise with all of out boys having winter birthdays with Christmas in between. So i decided to make whatever gifts I could. For our good friends the Hills i decided to make them a family album, now i decide to do this early enough to complete the whole thing but i managed to get about 1/3 of it done for Christmas and 6 more since then. lets start at the beginning, the title page, i love the little owl, the cricut images are all from the storybook cart as are the letters.
pages 2 and 3 – boxing day 2009, we had so much fun sledding at McKenzie Lake. Mr.C didn’t really want to be outside or sledding but i got a few good pictures of him the 2 times he went down the hill. I was the designated photographer since i was 8 months pregnant and not really allowed to sled. Monkey #1 and his little friend A went skating with their daddy’s i stuck around to take a few pictures (i forgot to print one) and then J and I went home with Mr.C and monkey 2
pages 4 and 5 – the birthday girls little miss A’s 5th and mommy J may prefer to remain unknown. Miss A’s page started out so great but ended up way to cluttered, but i love momma J’s page
pages 6 and 7. Mr. C turns 3!!!!!!!!!!! such a little sweetie and my boys had a blast at his Gymboree train party.  I love the picture of him blowing out his candle. I love how this lay out turned out and i left a space for J to write in some journaling
pages 8 and 9 – A March LO, i adore this one, the colors are my colors and just seemed to work so well, the paper is basic greys origins collection. I’m thinking i want to buy some more of this paper if i can find it and recreate this for myself
pages 10 and 11 – i took 2 totally different events and managed to make them work together, of course i had some luck in that the color schemes matched some what, not sure what i would have done if they both hadn’t involved red and white and the Hitmen have black but i think i added it in nicely
page 12 and 13 – page 12 anyway, i am still waiting on some pictures for page 13. I have to say I love this page though, the Purple Dinos. The paper is actually purple as are their shirts, the flash made it look purple
