It's a Double Birthday Bash!

I've been so fortunate to work with some of the best designers in digi-land and I'm thrilled to be a new member of the Dream Big Designs team! I met Cheri back at Digiscrapapalooza 2012 and I love her designs which are perfect for my style of scrapbooking, and she has tons of kits that work great for little boys and for Disney.

This week we are celebrating her birthday and her design birthday! You came here from Kayla's blog, Keepscrappin' Designs. I've put together a fun portrait 4x6 birthday card using the kit Hawaii Honu. I've had this kit for awhile, and wanted to wish Cheri Hau`oli la Hanau - Happy Birthday in Hawaiian.

Your next stop is Kassie Scraps. If you get lost along the way head back to Dream Big Designs - and be sure to look around the new site!

Hmmm...Ready to try again?

WOW I haven't been over here in awhile. I just loved looking back over my posts from over a year ago. What changes we've had since then. I really should blog more, or do something to keep track of my memories but alas, life gets in the way. I have my photos, I have my scrapbook pages, and randomly I have this blog, my family blog, and random memos on my hard drive. I tried (am trying?) to get in the habit of using Oh Life to record a snippet of every day but it's been a few days since I've done that. So I will refrain from apologizing and just carry on.

So in my life since April 29th 2012 A LOT has changed. We did get moved out of Bob's and into our brand new custom built home in August 2012. They dug the big hole on May 22nd, so between that time our little family visited our home site nearly every day to see it getting built. We loved the whole process!

We also got older - Scott turned 40, I turned 36 and the doctors said either have a baby or be done. In July we finally got back to the RE, and decided we would just do three rounds of infertility treatments which would take us through the end of the year. I was sure there was no way it would work, and we did the first round of treatments in July 2012. I saw the first positive pregnancy test on July 25th at 11 dpo. Amazingly, our daughter was born just three weeks ago today! More on that later.

I still digiscrap, and hang out at Scrap Orchard most of the time. I also get to do some fun creative team work for four AWESOME scrapbook designers - Cheri of Dream Big Designs, SuzyQ Scraps, Tracie Stroud Designs and Melissa of Cluster Queen Creations. You'll be seeing some more of that soon.

We did go to Disney again, this time in November 2012 and got to be there during the holiday time frame. It was our first all Disney, only Disney trip and I can honestly say that it was my favorite visit so far. Seeing how different Connor is on each trip is so fascinating and he was truly entertaining on this visit. I still share my Disney memories over at MouseScrappers.

So if anyone reads this, enjoy a big wave hello from me! I hope I can keep on this for some time, and at least through April 22nd when I'll have a really cool digital scrapbooking freebie for you! Stay tuned.
