Good Monday morning! Did you all survive the weekend? We had a busy, but fun one. Aren't they all? :-) Just a quick post today...the kids are on winter vacation and our schedule is booked. Need to keep them busy!
I'm posting a layout I put together over the weekend for this week's challenge at The Paper Variety. Here's the sketch...it's really a card sketch, but the rules allowed us to use it to create a layout if we'd like. Well, it wasn't easy, but you know me....I'm determined to make more pages for my scrapbooks.
This picture I scrapped was taken in December, 2003...a few weeks before Christmas. My twins had come home from the hospital at Thanksgiving and were about 6 weeks old here. Their older brothers were 4 and 2. It was a super busy time...we had no idea how crazy life would become! :-) This is the first holiday photo we have of our four kids together. And it wasn't that difficult to stage...as you can see, the babies slept right through it all. :-)

I'm entering this scrapbook page into 2 challenges:
The Paper Variety: TPV Card Sketch Challenge - Use the sketch provided to create a card, layout or other paper project.
Scrappy Saturdays with the Bug: Challenge #2 - Something Lovey - Create a layout using something lovey...the word "love", a lovey sentiment/title, hearts, cupids, lips, pictures of someone you love, etc. I chose to scrap a picture of my 4 little chicks...couldn't love them more! :-)
Have a terrific Monday!
