Alas, progress!

When we got my laptop & switched over to Vista {nightmare} we also had to get a new printer { $%*&*(@ Microsoft}. I go rounds with the darn thing, the printer, every single solitary time I attempt to use it...it is like ground hog's day. The moral of the story is this...it is easier to shoot photos of my layouts than to try and scan them.....that being said...here are some layouts for JJB's book..... This page is really quite pretty...the upper part is actually a lime green with brown...this is the second page of the book. I had a really gaudy layout that I ripped up! I like this one much better. Six month pages...love love love the Scenic Route paper... what do you think of the chipboard birdie I made? Sorta like a partridge in a pear tree? the two pages together. This is Jacob's one month page & can I just say....it is SO freaking cute! I love it...not to mention the SOCK MONKEY paper! TO DIE FOR....OMG!

I really might get this thing done before he can read!!! Betsy, I hope you like these!?!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!!! These pages are so special, they make me teary eyed. Could be the hormones. :) Great job, Shel. Can't wait to see this book. Love all the paper, my favorite special touches: the cuddle monkey part, how you highlighted our names in the journaling, EVERYTHING!!!
