LOAD 18: For the baby book The three of us 2006. Me and my two sister in laws - all pregnant at the same time and then we all had baby girls! Mine came 4.5 weeks early on Jan 17th. the next one came 4 weeks early on Feb 7th and the last one came 3 weeks early on Feb 8th. So, within 3 weeks and 1 day - my mother in law embraced 3 grand daughters. crazy!!

Digital: quickpage (DSP birthday bonus kit) frame (it's my history kit) font (rage italic and papyrus)

LOAD 17 Prego Pics

Finally done with the sonogram photos. decided to tackle the prego pics. i found it easiest to use a digital template to plop the photos in. my only issue with it was that i had to recrop photos a few times before i found the correct size. then, instead of printing the template - i decided just to do it all digital. i started at 10 and finished at 7! of course plenty of interuptions were inbetween but still! it turned out pretty cute though - especially since i waited so long to do it. enjoy!

LOAD 15 and 16 sonograms

LOAD 16: Third songram from second pregnancy. twas a boy to be!Credits: Alpha (cork alphabet stickers, fall scrapbooking, target dollar spot) It's a boy sticker (keeping it real by amy hurley, creative imaginations) and this adorable kit (all boy page kit, colorbok). love this kit. i am not usually up for kits, but these have a ton of pieces and are pretty versatile. the downfall is the paper is 8x8, but i pieced 2 together and added cardstock for cute look. enjoy!

LOAD 15: Second sonogram from second pregnancy

LOAD 13 and 14 Sonograms

Last night was a great night hanging out with the gals. Margaritas and a Kohl's trip went extremely well together. found some cute dress shorts for my teacher wardrobe. and about to hit the town again tonight for a farewell party for a great gal we are going to miss. These little exersions are needed in our stressful lives. a visit with the gals seems to make the rest of the week (filled with chaos and tantrums - mostly from me -) go a lot smoother. enjoy!

LOAD 14: Sonograms from the second pregnancy. He wasn't even a little dot yet. I was SO sick I thought I was a least 8 weeks pregnant and here i was only 4. He was a little booger from the very beginning. Cannot wait till his teenage tantrums . . . : )
LOAD 13: Tackling the Sonogram photos. procrastination is OVER. I've had all this prego paper for SO long, and I just never had motivation to do them. Thanks to this LOAD challenge - they are getting scrapped and actually looking pretty cute, too! enjoy!

LOAD 12 Baby Slattery

Had a stressful day stressing over the finances. no matter what i did, no matter how i added it all up - that million dollars just wouldn't appear! Maybe Scott planted a money tree in his garden . . .
LOAD 12: Cardstock, ribbon, stickles, chipboard and a sheet of paper i've had since i found out i was pregnant in 2005! This will be the first page in my pregnancy album. This is a great example of me taking a piece of paper that would have been perfect without touching it. But i just kept playing with it until it was more perfect! Enjoy!
