Monday, Monday....

It's Monday :) Do you like Mondays? Or are you more of a "I hate Mondays" kind of person? I actually like them. Usually after the weekend, I feel ready to start things right--get started on school, get the house in order after the weekend...Things don't always go as planned, but I usually start out chipper :) (now Tuesdays are a different story...lol)

Even though I don't post it each time, every month on Emma's birthday I take pictures of her. I like to see how much she changes each month and I make a corresponding page in her album too. I started it with Levi. I wish I had thought of it with the oldest two. But at least their albums still seem to have plenty of pages lol. I haven't finished all 5 of Miss Emma's yet. But here are some of the pictures I took on her 5-month-birthday :)

I know :) She's just too cute. I have to say I agree lol. Do you see she is wearing jeans?! I LOVE  them. They are the tiniest jeans ever! Soon I'm going to have to get out the next set of clothes I have for though. I need to get the little bit warmer clothes.

My new Papertrey stamps came! I am SO happy. I actually got to play with them some on Friday. I {heart} the text background stamps! It's going to be hard not to use them on every card :) I made a card with them all my new stuff, but I haven't gotten a chance to take a picture yet :( Hopefully I will get it up tomorrow! (And if you guessed it has kraft paper...you're right lol). So I'll share this layout I made instead:

For the life of me, I can't seem to get pictures of my layouts to come out right..arghh! Maybe I should figure out how to scan 12x12 pages...what do you all do? ANYWAY, its another 2 page layout, with lots of Fancy Pants and Quickutz--of course :) The big alphabet is Cosmopolitan. I actually thought I didn't like it or need it lol, but now that I have it, it is one of my favorites!! So cute :) I also used Doodlebug sugar coating on the the chipboard flower and around the edge of the label.

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope your week starts out well :)
