Baby Boy Layout
So most of you know that I have mostly girlie layouts so I thought I would post a layout for little boys. I love these colors together and still can't get enough wasabi. I took the 6x6 baby card and made a 12x12 layout from it. So here it is:

6 x 6 Baby Card
I made this card to use for the scrapbook night card exchange. Cori had the idea to make the cards 6 x 6 instead of the standard card size. That way we can use the card in a layout if we want. Brilliant idea! ;)
I love the wild wasabi with regal rose. And I just ordered all the striped ribbon...LOVE it.
I think wild wasabi is one of my top 3 colors and since it is an "in color" it will be retiring soon. :( I will have to do some serious stocking up.

Cards!
Here is a card I made for my "March Mystery Hostess Party". I love the new build a brads. They are so easy and fun. This summer picnic paper from the occasions mini is also super cute.
I made these cards at retreat.
This one says "you are one of kind." If I did this one over I would use the daubers instead of inking it directly with the ink pad...I think the edges would look like I want them too.
I didn't realize how off the xoxo circle was until I saw it on the computer...oh well, I guess! :)
This one I made in Lindsey's Technique class. I hardly ever make masculine cards so this was fun for me. I just ordered this small star punch so I am excited for it to come!

Retreat Layout Number 3
Here is another layout I did at retreat. I used the Rose Cottage simply srappin kit. Again, this is a very simple layout. I had a lot of fun doing our wedding photos. We didn't have very many snapshots of the day. All the pictures we had were professional. All these years I didn't want to scrap the professional ones but yet they just sat in a box. So I decided to get use out of them. :)

Embrace Your Space
This title is always an article in the Creating Keepsakes Magazine I subscribe to. They have pictures of people's scrapbooking places and how they have organized them. I have always drooled at how great these spaces are and loved how they have it all organized.
Since I have all my scrapbooking supplies in my bedroom it has been hard because my stuff has always taken over the corner of the room. Organizational items aren't cheap and I have slowly tried to get to where I want to be. Zeb has been incredibly patient. :)
Over the course of about a year now, I have been trying to get my stuff organized. Even after Zeb bought me a small bookshelf for my stamps there still was too much stuff for the space. So when Zeb and I saw this 16 cubby bookshelf from IKEA you could say I was pretty stoked.
Slight problem: We drove all the way to Round Rock in our "small" family vehicle and after deciding to purchase the bookshelf Zeb had the bright idea to measure it first. Needless to say the car was an inch too short. We thought, "hey, we'll just get it delivered." Well, that doesn't work when it would cost MORE THAN THE BOOKSHELF!!! Bummer. Luckily Josh and Carol were driving down that weekend and they have an IKEA close to them. So they picked it up for us and drove it here in their truck. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
This shelving unit was PERFECT and the last thing I needed to organize all my stuff. I love it and think my space has been fully "embraced!" The huge project of organizing my space is finally finished. Man it feels good! I am so excited!

Retreat Layout Number 2
I took this layout from the 6 x 6 card I made (after seeing Lindsey's card) and progressively finished a 12 x 12 layout. I love the 2 star punches. Although I must say I want to play around with the placement of the stars on the right page. ;)

Layout Number One!
Here is the first layout I did at retreat. I used the rose cottage simply scrappin kit. I like the simplicity of this layout.
