This is definitely a blackmail picture. Wolfgang had played so hard one sunny day last summer that he crashed and burned before supper.

These photos are several years old but it is the only picture of my siblings and myself as adults. It was taken at my Grandfathers Funeral. Why is it family pictures are only taken at funerals and weddings?

I took this picture last summer at the Forestry Farm and loved it from the beginning . I have pulled it out to scrap numerous times but didn't know how to tackle it. Well I was inspired at Friday nights crop. I love the simplicity and minimalism of the layout.

I have the BEST friend in the WORLD. She camped out at Just Scrap IT! last night so that we could be first in line. I left her there at Midnight and returned this morning at 5AM. Those that gathered early with us had a blast chatting and shivering and enjoying the sunrise. None of us can wait until the 25th & 26th of April.

We took the kids to see Safari Jeff and Shannon today. They had a hoot and got to pet a snake. How cool is that? Safari

So we moved Ruby-Jean into her Big Girl Bed on Saturday. It is only for Princesses who are beautiful to sleep in. We are trying to potty train and are hoping this might help.

On March 12, 2008 we had our first BBQ of the year. OH MY GOSH!It was sooooooooo goooood.

I love the picture of Kayne just enjoying the day. I knew I didn't want this layout to have a "little boy" feel to it but I didn't know what direction to go either. I definitely don't mind stepping out of my comfort zone so I tried some of Wilna's paint it mentality. I am not sure yet if I like the layout but I don't hate the results so I guess that is good. I will try painting again on future layouts as I did have fun creating this one. The chipboard letters have crackle paint,perfect pearls ink and glossy accents.

Spiderman...Spiderman...does whatever a spider can. I made this birthday card this weekend for a party that Wolfgang attended. Sorry my picture is a little fuzzy. I printed the spider and web out on a piece of transparency and laid it over the "Birthday wishes" I had stamped. The Spiderman was cut from a invitation i found.

I really enjoyed creating this page. I have 20 different pieces of patterned paper on this page. I took this picture last spring at the river while on 1 of our many family outings to the weir. I loved the picture and haven't quite know how to tackle it...but I like this layout and will probably revisit it for future layouts.
