Double Duty
I used to do nothing but double page layouts when I started scrapping, so I was happy to accept the challenge from Practical Scrappers to create another one. I haven't done a double 8.5x11 layout in a super long time, so it was a bit of a challenge to get started with, but I'm happy with the results.

A no picture day.
I'm not sure what happened yesterday with my kids and cameras, but they just didn't get along. we had set up a time to have a family pic done Sunday morning, but Anna turned nutso and wouldn't even look at the camera. Then I brought Blue home to take some quick 3 month pics and he refused to smile. Crazy kids.
This is the best picture I got of Mr. Chunky Monkey.

Picked up Creating Keepsakes lately?
If you have, then you saw my layout! My very first layout in their magazine. So go run, pick up the mag, and turn to the very last page. See that layout that takes up the entire page? Yep, that's mine. And this marks the second time Anna has been in an in-print scrapbooking magazine. She's graced the pages of 3 online magazines as well.
Fancy, huh?

Long time no see....
I don't know where I've been. Maybe taking care of this very demanding baby? Or dealing with a 3 going on 16 year old? Anyhow, I've been gone. But I'm back. And just in time for the Color Combo Blog Hop!
If you made it here from XNomads, congrats! You are all on track. If not, no fear. I'll list the participants at the end of the post.
We had the option of choosing one of three color schemes this month. The were all so perfectly fall, it was hard. It eventually came down to what paper I had on hand. Here is my color scheme.
Love it, huh? I went a tad off, because that's what I do, but I think it turned out just fine.
Now, head over to Through the Camera Lens to see the greatness over there!
By the way, here is the list of participants if you get lost!

The Circus is Coming!
Anna decided about a month ago that she wanted a circus themed birthday party this year. I should've started planning this party right when she told me, but I waited. And now I'm paying for it. Clowns are booked, supplies are taking forever to ship, and Halloween is having to be taken care of too!
I did order the cutest personalized invites from Blossom Tree Studio and started printing them today. I have front and back invites that I'm printing on American Crafts 80 lb. textured cardstock, cute little elephants for my envelopes, and ticket stickers to seal the envelopes with. Love it all!
Good thing tonight is a night full of good tv, so I can watch and cut at the same time!

Happiness Blog Hop
The happiness blog hop is back again and this month we are focusing on pursuing a passion. If you made it here from Slice of Life, you've come to the right spot.Otherwise, just stick around and the full list of participants will be listed at the end of the post.
One of my passions is obviously scrapbooking, but lately I haven't had much time to do accomplish anything. So I've started to focus more on one of the basics of scrapping - the photography. I've always taken enormous amounts of pictures, but here lately I've really started thinking about the pictures before I click the button. I've known how to use my camera in the manual setting for a while, but I'm actually starting to use that setting more often. I'm starting to figure out the style of photography I like. And while I'm no where near able to accomplish the artistic, stylized photo shoots that I dream of doing, I am able to take less photos to get better pictures. And that gives me more time to put the camera down and live in the moment.
Be sure to stop over at Scraps and Sass to see another take on the theme for the month.!
