Baseball Pages!!

Play Ball!!!!

Ugh..... I know.... I have been neglecting my blog for what seems like forever! I'm sorry!!!

Baseball has taken over my LIFE for the last 2+ months!!

I have 3 ids playing this year, in 3 different divisions, across 3 different towns.  It's been hectic to say the least!

I have been scrapping, a little here and there, and have a few LO's to share today!

These are some of the LO's I made for Austin's teammates.  He was on the Sacramento River Cats this year and had some awesome coaches as well!

Files used for these are mostly by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs, however the "Baseball" title used on a few is by My Scrap Chick.

All the parents loved them. but the kids loved them even more!!  That made my heart super happy!

As always, thanks for coming by an I would love for you to come LIKE my fanpage CBC Scrapbooking!

Happy Scrappin'!

Make A Splash!

Scrappy Thursday!

I am not sure where the time is going anymore, but I do not have enough time to scrap these days!  With 3 kids playing baseball, and in 3 different divisions, we are at at least one field every night, sometimes two! Plus weekends as well.  Always on the GO!

But I did manage to get this page done.  I know I have more pics somewhere, so there will prob be a page 2 at some point as well :)

All files are by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

I would love for you to check out my fan page and give me a LIKE, CBC Scrapbooking!

Have a scrap happy day!!

Hey all!!  

So I have a super special LO to share with you today!

I made this LO for my son's future MIL.  Yup, he's 7 and he has it all planned out! LOL

The story behind this LO:  
He has had a crush on a girl, Lexy, since last year.  They were in the same Kindergarten class.  Sadly, they are in different classes this year, and Austin misses her, a lot!  He had asked if he could give her a Valentine. Seeing how they are in different classes, I was going to mail it to her.  No biggie.  
I was heading out to Target and Michael's one day and he asked if he could come and if we could go to Toys R Us too so that he could use a GC he had from his birthday. Sure, no problem!
We get to the toy store, and he heads for the GIRL aisles, and walked up and down EVERY SINGLE ONE. I asked him what he was doing "Looking for something special for Lexy."  Very matter-of-fact.
We shopped for quite a while there and at Target, where he also spent  some of his tooth fairy money.  Long story short (kinda! lol)  He picked out a pink bear, chocolates and some Debbie Cakes, every girls dream gift! lol
He also made her a card, b/c "handmade means from the heart".  Yup, he's a crafter's son. :)

 We made a special trip to her house on Valentine's Day to deliver his special gifts, and

of course, I took pics!!

I used the "Oh So Loved" file for the main elements, then added a retired freebie "Interlocking Hearts", the big heart is from "Wanted For Stealing Hearts"  and the tag is from "Tag 1"

I also used some Rumple Ribbon from Love Bug Creations!!

And here is the note he wrote to her to tuck behind a picture:

Best love story ever!

I absolutely LOVE how my bears turned out, and the whole LO really!  Of course, having such cute pics definitely helps!

If you'd like to see more of my work, I'd love for you to stop by my fan page, CBC Scrapbooking.

Happy Scrappin'!

Scrappy Thursday!!

As many of you know, Dr. Seuss' birthday was on March 2. My kids celebrated his birthday in school on Monday, so I have a few LO's to make!

Thankfully, Little Scraps of Heaven Designs has this cute new file "Fun to Have Fun" so it has made making these LO's super easy, and FUN!

My 7 yr old had to make a hat at home to wear, and he actually won 1st place for "Tallest Hat"!

Here's a LO I made for his school book:

I made the title in MTC and used the cat's hat.

My 5 yr old made a hat in school and on it she wrote, "I Love to Read!", which she does!

Using the same file, here is the LO I made for her book:

Obviously, I still have to print out the pics, but my LO's are ready and waiting!

Thanks for popping by and I would love for you to follow me and come like me on facebook, CBC Scrapbooking!

Happy Scrapping!

Happy Thursday, all!!!

One of my sons had a Toy Story party a few years back. I have the pics on one of many SD cards and will eventually get them printed. And when I do, this LO will be ready and waiting!

I have used the new "Toy Box Buddies".  I also used "Pretty Ponies".  Both files are by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I combined the pieces from the horse and a pony to make my "bullseye".

BIG News!

Happy Monday, Everyone!

I have some super exciting news to share with you all........... are you ready???

I am now part of the fantastically talented Little Scraps of Heaven Designs Design Team!!!!!

Can you believe it??

I am SO excited!!!!!!!!

So, this is my first official DT Project!

This LO was a special request, and I was honored to make it and be involved with helping preserve her journey.

I have used The Fight of Your Life and Banners Collection to make this LO.

This is typically a BCA file, but there are lots of other cancers, disabilities, disorders and what have you, that give us as women, The FIGHT of our Lives!

The Purple ribbons here represent Hodgkin's Lymphoma Awareness.

She also happens to love the color pink, so the BCA paper stack by Me & My Big Ideas worked out well.

Not only is this my FIRST DT project, but it is also my DT Challenge project!  You can head on over to the DT Blog to see the sketch we used and join in the fun! You could win $20 in FREE files from 

Little Scraps of Heaven Designs!!!!

You can link up on the blog or post on the fan page!

Hope to see you join in the fun!

I also have a second LO to share, for the same cause. Again, I used The Fight of Your Life.

Also, both of these layouts feature photo mats adorned with hand dyed Rumple Ribbon by Love Bug Creations! Their ribbon is addicting, so be careful!! hahaha

Have a Scrap Happy Day!

LSHD Weekly Challenge: Jeepers Creepers!

Hope you all had a fun filled Halloween!

We sure did!

We now have enough candy to open a small candy store! :)

Every year, we go to a friend's house for home made pizza, Halloween treats and trick or treating.  It is always a blast, and always a lot of kids in great costumes!  We've been going for about 5 years now, since our boys started Kindergarten together!

As you all know, I am a couple, OK, a few plus a couple, years behind on my personal scrapbooking. So, I am not sure WHICH year or for WHICH kid this LO will be used for, but it WILL be used!! I just need to find and print out pictures!

Little Scrap of Heaven Designs has their weekly challenge going on, and it's a "Jeepers Creepers" Challenge. I saw this as a good opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone! :)

You have til Sunday night to join in, so hop on over and play along!!
