Catching up on layouts

January is nearing the end and I have done only two layouts! That's not even close to what I had hoped to accomplish. The flu has been running through the house for the last two weeks and has delayed my efforts. It seems to be finished now... YEAH! I am certain that February will be a more productive month.



My recent layout is of my eldest, taken in the fall just before we cut off all his curls. Fortunately his hair will grow back. It's so difficult to capture a picture of my young athlete while not in motion. I have used the Harvest Kit, Black rub on Alpha, and green Vellum Tag to complete the layout.
I love designing and spend all my free time creating new products. Although, I have not left enough time for actual scrapbooking! My goal is to complete 2 layouts per week by the end of the year I should have scrapped over 100 pages. That would be amazing. We'll see how I do! Check back to see if I'm keeping on track.

The New Year!

The Holidays did pass with a flash! It always seems to be this way with young children, blink and you'll miss everything. Our Christmas vacation was spent in sunny Mexico. The first time we've been away from home for the Holidays. It was an incredible experience for all of us, I'm certain the boys will be talking about their adventure for years.

The highlight of our trip was a visit to the ruins in Coba and a Mayan Village on Christmas eve. Nothing quite like spending Christmas eve in the jungle! There are some breathtaking views that you simply must see to believe.



One of my new years resolutions is to do more layouts. Designing will always be ongoing, yet I'm falling behind as we do, on my layouts and albums. This photo montage has pieces from nearly all the kits at the Paper Tag. The effect is very festive!

I took as many photos as I could, and the boys helped quite a bit reminding me to pull out the camera, or helping themselves to it when I was unavailable.

I think their favourite time would have to be 4:30 when the soccer began, it ended when it got dark. They met children from all over the world who shared their passion for the sport. Soccer - no translation required.

The kids have now returned to school and I am getting back into my routine, slowly.
There are lots of changes happening at the Paper Tag over the next few weeks. The gallery will be open shortly as well as a new fresh look for the store. Check back to see what's new I'm sure you will enjoy the changes.
