I have never really got into the whole scrapbooking thing. It's way too overwhelming of a task to undertake. Plus with the awesome and easy photo books you can put together on your computer and have delivered to your door...who needs scrapbooks? But I love the papers and colors and ribbons and embellishments. I LOVE it. But one little task here and there is all I ever get around to. Never a full scrapbook.
When Parker was born, my Aunt Debbie made me this:
Then when Reid was born, Mom made me this:
And Grayden couldn't be left out. So last week when mom was visiting, I made this (with her opinions, encouragement, and purchase of supplies...thanks mom):
I love making them. The pictures don't do them justice. They're cuter up close and in person. If you click on the picture you get a little better idea of what they look like. Are those fun or what?

Most definitely fun, not what. These are SO cute!!!
I feel similar to scrapbooking. I have LOTS of supplies. But unfortunately they don't get as much use as they should. Many can be used for other things (as I successfully put them to use in another way this morning), most ideally for cards. I like using the supplies on cards because its easy and less overwhelming because well, the project is done, wehereas there are always more pictures. But I am totally with you on the idea that the goodies are really fun to use in other ways.
Which is probably why I just might attempt to do this myself. I absolutely love Gray's picture-that quilt is awesome. And its amazing to me how Parker looks so much like himself. Sure, it is him, but not all kids look like their baby pix.
I absolutely love this and will probably copy you again-sometime...
What a great idea! I love it! I am constantly behind on my scrapbooking... but I still like to do it now and again.
I love the idea of scrapbooking, but the actual process of getting it done stinks, because if you think about it- you will never be done. Its always on going, like housework and laundry. I love those frames, super cute.
By the way....I never noticed how similar Grayden and Parkers names are----
Parker Braden
Grayden Clark
Were you running out of ideas?=)..Just kidding.
Sooooo cute, you are a natural. We have this scrappy thing in common:
-family does it, we do not
- last christmas I decided to do one for my dad of pictures of his late mamma dancing...it turned out good, but $40 later and a lot of time I decided that I would just stick to digital stuff :) Very very good job though! Oh BTW, look looked so amazing in that green dress, skiny and beautiful! Way to go!
Those are amazing! You don't give yourself enough credit! I loved them! I just finished another intial frame for one of Dana's colleagues who retired..it is nice, I have to admit! I will add it to my set of done ones. I do love the pictures of the boys in them too!
Love the pictures! I would love to have something like that with my kids. They are awesome! I also love the one to the right with Gray screaming in the middle- classic! :)
I, too, am not into scrapbooking so I don't even try. I just have them printed and put them in a sleeve in an album with a caption. At least that way my books stay pretty well caught up. Not as pretty, but it works! :) Scrapbooking is just way too overwhelming and takes a talent I just don't have !:) Oh well....
SUPER CUTE! I love those. I have been scrapbooking for YEARS, and haven't for a really long time. I think I'll get it all out soon and start Jackson's book. THanks for the inspiration.
I always loved those pictures. I think you are so creative. I wish had a small dose of your creativity.
