From the Atlantic... to the Pacific!

Yes, life has been pretty hectic around here the past few months but still this summer, my family was fortunate enough to also be able to kick back and relax (somewhat!) on two wonderful vacations... and as the title tells - we traveled all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific!

First in July, we spent a few days hanging out at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware and then just a couple short weeks later in August, we visited the beach at Santa Barbara, California! Below are two pages showcasing this awesome opportunity Isabella and Gavin were able to share together this summer!

The Birthday Boy!

I made this page a little while ago, on June 9th to be exact. It's one of Gavin's third birthday pictures and I was waiting to post it until I finished scrapping some more of his birthday pics. But since it's now become obvious to me that that won't be done for quite some while I thought I'd go ahead and share this one anyway! I think this was Gavin's best photo shoot yet! He was all smiles, hope that's a good sign for what being three will bring! Can't believe another year has gone by already!

Some Sad News

I'm sorry to inform you all that I have offically resigned my position with Divine Digital. Since the start of my new full time job in April, I just have not been able to work out a way to have enough time for designing AND a life! I am very sad about this, I really did love seeing others enjoy my work but the good news is that I am keeping my position with Scrap N' Art Magazine. So, if you are a SNA subscriber, you will still be able to snag some great freebies from me. Also keep an eye on the SNA blog, you're likely to find more freebies from me there that are available to everyone. Just last week I posted this freebie:

These stickers coordinate with the current 2010 May/June SNA Collab Kit, Almost Summer. Click HERE to visit the SNA blog post where you can find the link for these fun summertime stickers. Enjoy and thanks for your support! :)

Getting some more scrapping out of my system!

Picture Perfect

Just wanted to assure you all that I am still alive and scrappin' over here... just not as much as I'd like to be since the new job has started. I snapped this pic of the kiddos today and loved it, definitely convinced me to just take a break, sit down and make a page... now, off to bed - it's past my bedtime!
