I love taking photos of kids especailly BABIES! Isabella Kate was perfect! Here are a few of my favorites.

After Isabella Kate it was Madelyn Grace’s turn. She was a bit wiggly. Far more than Isabella Kate but I think it has something to do with being a newborn with a full tummy and a 3 year old that is always ready to play. But, we did get a few really cute ones. Here are my favorites.


I’m really ready to get home and back to scrapping. I have so many ideas running in my head. Lots of layouts and mini albums. Tomorrow I am going to take photos of Isabella Kate’s toes and fingers.

 

Here are a few new photos of Madelyn and Isabella. Madelyn loves being a big sister. She is extremely helpful and cannot do enough. As you can see she loves her baby sister.

was born May 23rd at 12:25 in the afternoon. She weighs 7 lbs. 11 oz. and is 19 inches long. Isabella is just adorable and should be coming home with my sister soon. I will be in Beaumont until June 5th so my blogging will be a bit off and on.

Here is my thank you note to Martha Stewart. I really love her craft line and had lots of fun using all her products. I created this accordion thank you note using her scalloped note cards, seam binding ribbons, pattern papers, binder hole punch, chipboard letters and dimensional flower stickers. Each end is an unsealed envelope. I placed my hand written note in one end and some additional photos of her products on the shelves in Michaels on the opposite end.

I love the 18 x 18 sheets of paper… there are so many ways to use them. I bought three of the designs to make my paper doll dresses and to use as the background. The scalloped note cards are very nice. The weight and quality are exceptional. I will certainly have a set on hand at all times. I LOVE the binder punch. This is one handy punch. There is no way you can not line up the holes. It is wonderful. The seam binding ribbon is my favorite. I love the texture and airy feel they all have and the colors are incredible. These too will be a staple in my scraproom.

Here are photos of the front and back when it is closed.

I had three layouts and eight cards picked by Scrapbooking & Beyond and Paper Creations. I’m pretty happy about that. Now I just need to finish typing up all my product lists as well as instructions. I’m just about finished but YIKES… I never realize just how much I put on my projects until I start listing everything used.

Hope your day is a good one.

and think Ansley takes some of the best! I’m always so excited to see what she comes up with… Here are just a few.

Not bad for just turning 13! I’m so proud of her.
