Introducing!!!...

Nicky C

"Hi Mommy's people friends! I'm 5 years old and I go to Pre K school everyday :)

I like to: play video games, play Wii, play with Matthew and more other stuff.

I made a 'Happy Nicky's Favorite Book' for me! I hope you like it!

Oh! and my favorite color is blue and Matthew's favorite color is green because he's just a little baby and is learning all his colors.

This book is too little, I need to make a bigger book of my favorite stuff...

and one for all of my toys!

Maybe I'll make one for Matthew too sometime."

FYI - Mommy talking now ;)
First of all - I have no idea where that kind of good bye came from, LOL!
Second - My boy knew exactly what he wanted to do and how he wanted to do it! LOL! He asked for my 'rolling tape' and 'little orange paper cutter'...
... and as you can see, he knew what papers he wanted to use from my scrap bin; as he went through my scraps and pulled out the pieces he liked, he asked...
"Which company is this one made from?"
LMAO! Does it matter? Your five! Can't we just cut, paste and glue it all down???
Um, no, that wasn't the way this project was going to go. It was important for him to know everything ;)
So here's the different papers he used: Basic Grey, Stampin Up, Making Memories, Bazzill and MyGraphico! He used the small paper cutter with good training and supervision ;)

Nicky is going to be so happy to see his project on the computer tomorrow morning :)
Thanks for stopping by!!!

Sissy's Scrap Free For All Themed Challenge#1!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!

It's time for another Sissy's Scrap Challenge!!! :)

This week's Free For All Themed Challenge is...
PLAY BALL!!!

It's an open theme based on Balls! (LOL!)
It can be anything from circles, playing with a ball, round objects, sports, etc...

Now, if y'all know me - I don't like or do well with anything involving circles! LOL! and yet, I was the one who chose the theme! I just had to challenge myself and get over my fear of round things ;) LOL! SO silly!!!


I made 2 layouts...
Here's a layout for Matt:I loved working with the All Stars Digi Stamps! I am new to the whole Digi thing... I was able to make the stamps any size! I printed them out in black and white, since at first, I wasn't sure if I wanted any color... I ended up using my Copics :) I love how bold they are!I adore these lil stick-figure's! I must get more ;)
Look at Matt's face! Concentrating so hard... I really think that he's trying not to laugh :) rather than trying to catch the ball! LOL!

Here's a layout for Nicky:

OhMyGosh! Look at that serious, determined face! He is really loving baseball! His first practice and game is tonight :)
