MPS National Scrapbook Day Challenge #7

For Robyn's, My Pink Stamper, 7th challenge we need to:

Challenge #7--Make a Scrapbook Page!

I made a two-page spread in memory of my father.  This year, in February, was the 15 year anniversary of his death.  This was also the first year that I took my son with me to the Peace Officers' Memorial. (He was named after my father)  I let him place his own rose on the memorial this year.

We then took him to where my father's ashes were spread.  (He's in his favorite lake along with his mother's ashes)  Snow was just beginning to melt from the recent snowstorm so the road was closed to the dam, exact place where the ashes were spread, so we placed roses in the water (one for me, my mother, and my son).  On our way out from the dam, we saw a beautiful doe and I just had to snap pictures.  It was a very somber moment with my family and one I will cherish forever.

Enough of the sob story!  Since he was a police officer killed in the line of duty, I cut the police badge from Everyday Paperdolls at fit to page.  I cut his badge number from Old West, not sure what size. I then placed a black ribbon, similar to the black band worn on officers' badges when a brother has fallen, across the numbers.  I think it turned out sweet!

"Simple Pleasures" Scrapbook Page

I had to take a break from Christmas scrapbooking.  LOL!


My son LOVES helping us with our chores.  We are enjoying it while it lasts!  LOL!  This night, my son wanted to help me change sheets and make the bed.  Naturally, I saw photo opportunities! =)

I cut the title and the title's shadow from the Country Life cartridge.  I then cut the bed, pillow, and blanket from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge.  I applied "smooch" to the hem of the blanket to make it look like satin.   That was my first time using "smooch" and I don't really know what I think about it yet.  I'll let you know.

Now on to day 3 of being snowed in and SCRAPBOOKING!

MPS's NSD Challenge #6

For this challenge, we were suppose to make something WITH a child or for a child. Unfortunately, my son was napping during this challenge so I could scrap with him. He LOVES to scrap with me so I was a little disappointed but was enjoying his nap-time.
I found these pictures of us making his teachers some oreo balls for their Christmas party at school. I cut the chef and his accessories from the Everyday Paper Dolls cricut cartridge. I forgot to add the strip of paper across the middle of the page. LOL! I guess I was so excited to get this page done. ENJOY!
