New Kit: Tropical Daiquiri

I just got to scrap with the new kit that Brianna came out with a few weeks ago. It really made me miss summer...and the beach...and California...and...well, you get the idea.

First, here's the kit...Tropical Daiquiri! So pretty!{Available at Snap and Scrap.}
Chock full of papers and flowers and FOUR alphabets and so many fun elements. I dare you not to have fun with it!

And my page:

Isn't it so great?! I LOVE all the flowers she put in there. So pretty and tropical. Anyway, it's always fun to get and use a new kit, so check it out.

52 Blessings: Week 21

This week's blessing is my new nephew, who I like to call Z-man. He joined our family two weeks ago. This is my sister's second baby, second adoption. She and her husband headed to Colorado at the end of January to await his arrival and left 1 1/2 weeks later to head home. We were so lucky that our house was on their way home and we got to spend the evening and night with them. What a sweet, and tiny, little guy. So glad he's part of our family!

Also, I did a couple of pages for challenges at ScrapMatters last week. It's been so nice to get back into scrapping. I love it!

This was a Tuesday Template challenge. HD just looked too cute last week to not take pictures. What a doll face!

This was for a Scraplift challenge. We had to scraplift Brittney of Britt-ish Designs. Not hard to do at all. I LOVE her style and I already scraplift her on a regular basis. I really love, love, love this page!

Speed Scrap

I haven't done a speed scrap in a long, long time. I think it's been at least four months. But today, they had a daytime scrap, right during HD's nap. So I did it! It was so fun. I remember now why I love them. The hardest part of this one was finding an animal that "fit" but I love this birdie! So fun!

Word Up Challenge: For the LOVE of Chocolate.

I haven't done a challenge in a long time. And the alpha was awesome so I couldn't pass up the chance to use it...and to scrap these fun pictures!

52 Blessings: Weeks 19 and 20

Week 20: My Mom
She is my greatest blessing. Everything I am, I owe to her. She is an incredible woman and never ceases to amaze. And today is her birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you.

Week 19: Scriptures

During particularly difficult times, I find so much strength and comfort in the scriptures. And when I don't read, I can tell. I'm grateful for the perspective I get when I do m y daily scripture study.{credits}

HD Two Years.

{credits}

I was reminded by a friend that I never did HD's Two Year page (I did a similar one last year). And I had a free afternoon, with a clean house, so I did it. I LOVE how it turned out, but even more I loved going back through HD's pictures from the last year. Time goes by way too quickly.

Catching up on my Blessings.

I haven't posted my blessings pages in a long time. I've been doing them here and there, but not posting. So here they are...weeks 15-18.

Week 15: Jesus Christ's Birth
During the holidays, I kept thinking about the birth of our Savior and what His coming to this earth meant for me personally. Of course, it is my greatest blessing, for it leads to all other blessings.

Week 16: New Addition

Of course this has been on my mind. It's on my mind all the time. And what an awesome blessing to be enjoying right now! I love it!{credits}

Week 17: Reading

This one has been on my mind a lot this year, as I've set a new goal to read more. I've really gotten back into choosing reading over other hobbies and pastimes. It's been awesome! Now when you see me, I have my nose in a book.{credits}

Week 18: Date Night
Matt and I had such a fun date last night. I'm embarassed to admit how long it's been since we've been on a real date, just the two of us. Let's just say, it's been awhile. But I am so glad we got the chance. Even as low-key and "boring" as it could be considered, it was just what we needed!

Okay, I'm all caught up. I'll try to be better about blogging my pages!
