This project was created using Maya Road’s new Mailbox. It measures 4.5″x 4″ x 7″ and comes with the cute postage stamp chain book that measures 3.75″ x 5.75″. My theme is Special Delivery and has photos of my new niece Isabella Kate. Their are so many themes for this little cutie.

And the winner of the Maya Road RAK is….. Patti Church! Congratulations Patti, please email me your snail mail address and I will get your RAK sent out to you.

I thought I would update my blog tonight since I will be going to play with this sweet little boy tomorrow morning. Gosh I love me some Noah time. He is so darn cute… just look at this face.

His Mommy Caroline and Auntie Deb are at full throttle right now. So while his Mommy works we get to play. Those of you that will be attending CHA are going to love all the projects that will be displayed in the booth… LOADS and LOADS and LOADS of eye candy. If you stop by make sure to say hi! Here is part of the CHA-S catalog if you want to take a look at some of the great stuff coming out. Caroline and Deb are adding items daily.

Now for sneak peek #4… this is the new 3 x 3 accordion album. I LOVE this size and this little project can be completed in an evening. Which is pretty good for me, I can’t remember when I finished one that fast. The scallop frame, royalty crown and microchip hearts are also being released at CHA-S. The paper line is “Beloved” by Danelle Johnson. I love the pink and black combination and can’t seem to get enough of this paper. The photos inside the album are of my sweet, adorable little niece Isabella Kate. I get to see her Aug. 2 and believe me I am counting the days.

Images removed for publication. This project will be in the Dec/Jan 2008 issue of Paper Trends.
Oh and the quote inside is the cutest! My niece Madelyn (4 yrs. old) now known as the “Big Sister” of the house (never mind that Amanda “THE BIG SISTER” will turn 16 in just a few days) said this the day Isabella Kate came home.

Madelyn was holding Isabella Kate for the first time and Isabella Kate’s bow fell out. Well Madelyn says to her Daddy… “Daddy put her bow back in… she can’t be a Princess without her bow.” I think this is the cutest quote ever and will use it on many more projects I’m sure.

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.
