Andrea Time and her 1st birthday!

I had such an enjoyable week having Megan and Andrea here with me while mom and dad went camping! Andrea has the cutest personality, but boy does she have a temper!! Whoooooo!

Her 1st birthday was 7/17!

Here are some pics I took.

Pretty Andrea playing with a car that belongs to my nephew Connor.

Bikini Baby! One of my youngest sister's friends got this for her!

Isn't she cute!

Here is 'Drea playing with her baby buggie!

Look who is super mobile now and loves to carry her toys around!

This is a cute musical toy that spins and plays music when she presses that purple button down.

This is her birthday outfit that we got her for her 1st birthday, which was 7/17!

My youngest sister, Melissa, playing with Andrea.

This is her train toy we got her for her birthday! She picked it out over dollies and all things pink! She LOVE balls and putting things inside other things! (Dump and fill)

Aren't her hightops cute?

"Inner Beauty"

I used alot of items from the May Swirlydoos Vintage Chic kit!

Prima—Butterfly

Prima-flowers

My journaling says: "I really cherish my happy moments! Nov 07 "

The chipboard embellie says, "Find your inner beauty"

So sorry about the nasty, blurry scan!!

"Boys"

I made this page with my April Swirlydoos Urban Grunge Kit. This was REALLY out of my usual scrapping box. I am not real big on the grungy look. But I did it!!

I used the 7 Gypsies rubon TOUGH GUYS on the chipboard wrench on the right side.

I journaled on the rocket at lower left: Mason & Connor Spring 2009 "You love playing together!"

Here are the kit items I used:

7 Gypsies - rubz (graphique)

Uline - Corrugated Cardboard

Home Depot - Drywall tape (white)

Home Depot - Metal Grate

7 Gypsies - Photo turns

Maya Road - Chipboard Keychain (Boys)

Basic Grey - Buttons

Maya Road - Mini chipboard gears

May Arts - Black ric rac

Other items used not in the kit:

Stampin Up Basic Black Marker

3 Bazzill MonoTrio Black Brads

"Playing"

This 12x12 page is about my great niece Andrea.

The vellum phrase says:

"A CHILD IS A GIFT

A child to hold and cuddle,

'tis a gift from God above.

And the world is so much brighter,

when you have a child to love."

I wrote up the left side, next to the larger photo,

"Andrea at 6 months."
I used Kraft and lime green cardstock for the colored background paper, and Die Cuts With a View Old World paper for the photo mats. I inked the edges with Stazon Timber Brown ink.

The blingy butterfly is from Kaiser Scrapbooks and the blooms are all Bazzill Blingy Blooms with blingy flower centers.

Shirley and I had such a nice time at the CKC Mesa Preview crop today!!

And here is the ONE LO I got done in five hours. :lol:

This is a 12x12 LO of my great niece Andrea for Tink's Bling Challenge in VCW COF on scrapbook.com.
We were to do a one or two page LO ... and count Bling points.

each Blinged letter
each Bead
5 points: each silver gold or metallic add on
10 points: Each item that has glitter on it
Each Stickled item
15 points: Blingy Paper
Blingy Flower
20 points: Blingy Ribbons

My blingy items:
I Stickled the butterflies, and all of the title letters.
I have a blingy Rhinestone border around the photo, blingy trails behind each butterfly, blingy flower centers all over the page and on the small flowers, a blingy flower on the large bloom. The paper is that super cool SEW CUTE PP from Prima. I used the very cool Martha Stuart lacey border punch on the green journaling mat.
Alot of the items on this page were from my Swirlydoos Whimsy Kit for March!

(Idol tree comment is a family joke!)

I love this angle I caught with Ralphy looking up, almost seemingly at the tree.


We had lovely holidays, with Megan and Andrea spending most of their three weeks at our house. What bliss that was to have a baby going through milestones in the midst of the holiday stuff!
Here are some photos of major CUTENESS from the December visits,
