I'm working on getting more consistent schedule here on the blog but I'm not quite there yet. More to come!<br />
<br />
This one is about my paternal great-grandmother who I never met. I love that I have these photos and stories that my grandmother told me about her!<br />

<br />
Here is another one for our Alaska scrapbook - this one about what the kids and my mom were up to while we were away!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/Smores_zps1jw9vk0b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/Smores_zps1jw9vk0b.jpg" height="400" width="308" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm still working on getting my 2015 Favorites layouts completed ... here is March!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/MonthlyFaves_March2015_600o_zpsedwlanf9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/MonthlyFaves_March2015_600o_zpsedwlanf9.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And here is April ...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/MonthlyFaves-_Apr2015_zpsdvbdgmzl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/MonthlyFaves-_Apr2015_zpsdvbdgmzl.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And one of Alex's brief but fantastic baseball career!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/PlayBall_600ov_zpsfairqw7o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/PlayBall_600ov_zpsfairqw7o.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And I'm working on Meighan's Girl Scout pages so here's one of her bridging to Brownies!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/BridgingToBrownies_600ov_zpsp0yeyyuw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/BridgingToBrownies_600ov_zpsp0yeyyuw.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And last, but certainly not least, a page about my girl and our epic drives listening to Taylor Swift!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/Epic_600ov_zpsvbovnfzb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/anrobe/Epic_600ov_zpsvbovnfzb.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>

That is it for now! More to come soon!<br />

It's been a great time for us to talk and find new ways to connect! And it's reminded me how few 10 year old appropriate TV shows there are these days! Any others you'd suggest we check out next?<br />

I've been busy scrapping and feeling quite inspired to get our stories told so I've got more than usual to share today! Several of them are for our Alaskan cruise album but I'm struggling with how to go about that album since I've now got 12x12 AND 8.5x11 layouts for the album. I was going to do a photobook but now I'm second guessing myself. Do you have any suggestions? If so, leave a comment! Thanks!<br />

Meighan asks for ice cream EVERY single time she has a soccer game. No matter what happens, that is the first thing she asks about after her game is over! I love how this one tells a small story about our life right now that I'd probably forget over the years!<br />

Looking at this 5 year old photo amazes me. She's grown up SO much in five years. It meant a lot to me to be with her when she got this piercing done.<br />
<br />
I LOVE the material from July's <a href="https://www.simplescrapper.com/join/" target="_blank">Simple Scrapper membership materials</a>! I used one of the templates for this layout (all of the templates rock this month). I know I say it over and over but I am so thankful to be a part of the Simple Scrapper community!<br />

I think this will be a great thing to look back on and will tell me (and my children) quite a lot about me and my life right now. So, I'm late getting started but here is the first layout for January 2015. When I saw this kit by Sabrina's Creations, I knew I had the right kit to get started with!<br />

Sorry it's taken me awhile to update the blog. The last few weeks have been crazy with getting ready for our 9 day cruise in the Caribbean! We just got back last night ... and had a BLAST! But, I have created a few layouts that I did want to be sure to share here ...<br />
<br />
Meighan and her cousin, Jenna, are so much alike so I had to create this layout using a photo that I was able to get of them together at Easter! I love how this one came together!<br />

I have been working (slowly but surely) on our 2014 Alaska Cruise vacation album and the template/story starter in this month's Simple Scrapper membership materials (learn more <a href="https://www.simplescrapper.com/join/" target="_blank">here</a>) were perfect for what I was hoping to do, especially with the first couple of pages! I need to keep working on this one so I can get started on the 2015 cruise album! HAHA!<br />

I always find myself tellin stories that I don't think I would have without the Simple Scrapper Story Starters. Those alone are worth the membership fee and that's just the tip of the iceberg!<br />
<br />
This layout explores my journey with faith ... this is something that I definitely needed to document but had struggled with the best way to do so. The Simple Scrapper story starter was just what I needed to get this layout done!<br />

I have two new layouts to share as well as some news about the NSD fun over at The Digital Press!<br />
<br />
Here is the first layout which uses the new store collab over at TDP - <a href="http://shop.thedigitalpress.co/Go-Play.html" target="_blank">Go Play</a> - which is just $4 & such a steal -<br />
<br />

<br />
This month's Special Edition products are out and they are so fantastic! Everything is just $1 right now and you can't beat that price! You can find all of the pieces <a href="http://shop.thedigitalpress.co/Special-Edition-May-2015/" target="_blank">here</a> but I used a couple of items by the site's May guest, Jennifer Barrette!<br />

Simple Scrapper's March 2015 materials will be coming soon and I'm having a great time playing with them. I know that I say it every month but I think the membership is well worth the cost and I definitely recommend you check it out <a href="https://www.simplescrapper.com/join/" target="_blank">here</a>. Anyway, on to the layout - this month's Story Starters focus on social media and technology so I decided to document my Smart Phone evolution. I believe this will be a layout that I'll love to look back on in the future!<br />

My maternal grandfather was stationed at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed and there was incredible downstream impact for our family. This seemed like an important story to tell ... I used goodies from The Digital Press and found this photo via Google's image search function!<br />

I intentionally wanted to scrap this photo with more bold colors and embellishments and I love how it turned out! This layout demonstrates that you can always scrap older heritage photos using bolder colors and motifs!<br />

The Mighty Mile at Reston Town Center. This was intended to give her a sense of what a race was like since she had her 5K coming up! She has worked so hard in Running Club and did so well! I am so happy with how this layout ended up! I used a Story Starter and Template from the <a href="https://www.simplescrapper.com/join/" target="_blank">Simple Scrapper</a> Membership materials. They make creating fantastic pages so easy! I can't recommend the membership more enthusiastically! It's a fantastic value!<br />

I love how the Story Starters help me tell stories that might otherwise not be told. This layout tells a great story about some of the best days in my life through 2005. It was so much fun to go through my photos and memories to pick out what my best days were ...<br />

And I love how it turned out - seeing those photos together is amazing to me! I love our girl!<br />
