Time to Scrap

I am in love with digital scrapbooking again. I kinda got away from it for a couple of years. I cannot tell you how much fun I have had the past few weeks making digital pages, not to mention that one of my friends is just as obsessed with it as I am (always makes me feel more normal).

Here are my reasons why I love Digital Scrapbooking:

1. Cost, Cost, Cost. I can spend 5 dollars and buy a digital kit.
2. Make it once, have it forever. 
3. Reusable layouts
4. Time. 
5. They are so cute
6. No mess necessary  
7. There are countless photo gifts you can make

I use two program when it comes to digital scrapbooking. First and foremost I use MemoryMixer. I love the ease of this program. It is very simple to make layouts that look great. The other program I use is Photoshop. Photoshop allows for more custom looks. Here are some layouts I mimicked from my favorite sites ShabbyPrincess and Scrapgirls.

My Little Stinker, Elias

Now I must begin this with the clarification that I am VERY impartial to this child, being that I am his aunt and he is just so darn cute!!!

A beautiful day in C. Springs

Every chance I get I borrow my nephew. He is so much fun and to be honest allows me to get my baby/toddler fix, giving me the ability to survive the next few months, days or hours without the pressing desire to have children of my own.

Elias is the first and only child on both my husbands and my side of the our families. So you can only imagine how spoiled he is. We have been on some great adventures already. 

Enjoying an oversized beanbag

Elias first adventure to my sad little apartment in after I got married.

 We went to the dog park, played at the park and enjoyed hanging out together. The only toys we owed we received at our wedding, a camping bowling set. Not much but we made it work. 

When we moved to Cheyenne, I was able to "steal" my nephew for almost five days. We had so much fun. Cheyenne has a cute little spray park. 

Splashin' around

 Of course what could be better for a little boy than sitting in a big red fire truck. (Don't worry when he says fire truck no cussing is involved.) He could have sat there all night if I or his Uncle Jeff would of let him.

We always have to see the firetruck

Later that day we went to a friends house and watched the fourth of July fireworks. He was in awe!!

Filling up the grocery cart

Now I must say if you have never been to the Denver Children's Museum, you are missing out. It is so much fun. There are so many different themed rooms, the child in your life will not be bored. There is a Vet room, Fire truck, Grocery store, dance, art, bubbles, and so much more. They even had rooms for infants to lay around and look at all the cool paintings. We could have probably spent the whole day there going from room to room, not to mention how much this play puts a full of energy and life toddler right to sleep.  

Checking the kitties ear

I cannot not explain how much i enjoy my time with my darling nephew. 

He is so precious and funny  

I love seeing my husband with him and watching him grow. 

He makes me excited for the day we choose to start our own family!

I will end on this super cute picture!

He loves music.
