Good evening!Tonight a couple of my friends and I are joining together to share some projects that we've designed using this month's Card Kit stamp set: Sweetest Blessings. With the purchase of this adorable stamp set for the next few weeks, you automatically receive the card kit that I designed. While planning for this hop, I used the kit contents to make a 2 page Scrapbook layout of some favorite photos of my kids celebrating their birthdays.
FYI: The size of my pages is my favorite scrapbook size: 8 1/2" x 11". I haven't scrapbooked this size in a long time as I've been working on 9x9 or 12x12 for awhile, but let me just say that as soon as I started putting these pages together, it felt like I was back to my roots and the ideas just clicked! lol! I have bazillion scrapbooks in my home with photos of my kids in this size albums and have decided it's where I will be staying because it just works for me. If it works - why change, right? *wink*
This photo is a favorite one of mine from Ashley when she was 4, I believe. We had bought these princess birthday hats for her party and she HAD to wear them for days before AND after her actual birthday. This photo was taken of her eating her cereal one more for breakfast. She had a favorite sweater on over her jammies because she is always cold when she wakes up in the morning - still the case today, nearly 6 years later. Just look at those cheeks and chubby little fingers ... sigh. I plan on adding some journaling notes to the nestability die tag next to the photo - I just didn't get to that before I took the photo.

Now, this page is of a photo I took this past February of my son when he turned 13. We went out to eat at his favorite restaurant with my family and he was treated to a special birthday sundae. So, he was a good sport and posed a bit for some funny photos for me. I'm sure he'd be 'outraged' that I used these pinks on his page, but I couldn't resist since the photo was so perfect.

What sweet pages Jessica! Love the way you stamped the background on the first and and what fun pictures to scrap. Lots of memories to treasure! Have to say my favorite scrapbooking size is 8 1/2 x 11 too! Just works best for me and reminds me of a card, just one a larger scale. Great job and thanks for organizing this hop!!!
Wonderful memory pages! Love your layouts 7 the colors are so perfect!
These are adorable pages! I honestly never thought of scrapbooking on that size page - I will have to try it because it might be less intimidating.
