End of April

The last couple of weeks have been crazy, because I went to a conference in Maine - last time I went to one of those my oldest son was a year old... so it's been a while. As the stress built up the scrapbooking increased, but the time to blog was spent on preparing my poster... I managed to scrap the last bit of April 2009 before I left - a day at the Jacksonville Zoo. So here is what I was up to when sleep escaped me:

I usually stay away from girlie layouts, but I had to figure out what to do with those Jenni Bowlin butterflies and journaling tags that came in the Mosh Posh May'10 kit. I also used some Lily Bee Design Hello Sunshine chipboard flowers and die-cut frame from that kit along with the October Afternoon Mini Market Alpha Stickers and Jenni Bowlin Red Crepe Paper Ribbon from the Mosh Posh February'10 kit. The yellow line in the Lily Bee die-cut frame didn't match so I covered it with a black jellyroll pen. The june bug alphas I got at Serendipity Scrapbook's closeout sale.

For the next LO I used some paper that I had leftover from the Mosh Posh April'09 kit.

I cut the scalloped circles and made the flower using this guide, but I did not fold them in half. Zoo brads from Eyelet Outlet & Brads. Journaling tag from K&Co. - Baby Boy - which I trimmed to match the LO.

For this last LO I used Karen Foster Whirlpool paper that I got at scrapbook.com a while back.

Sun quicklets from Eyelet Outlet & Brads. The American Crafts Thickers are from the Mosh Posh May'10 kit and I also got the felt embellishments from them.
