9 Months

This week for sketch for Simple Sketches was a lot of fun to work with. I was very inspired by the grungy look of the sketch and it definitely played out on  my page.  I chose to scrapbook Kirk's 9 month photos that I took of him.  Even though I took almost the same photos every month for the first year of Kirk's life I think the 9 month photos are some of my favorite.  His little face is adorable and I just really like the way the photos turned out.  I used Tim Holtz paper and distress ink for this page.

Father & Son

This week for Simple Sketches I'm going a bit out of order.  The last sketch was due on a day that I was hosting Kirk's second birthday party (post here).  With all the decorations I made and the baking and cooking I did I just didn't have a lot of time to scrapbook so I traded weeks with one of the lovely ladies of team B.  This week's sketch was a lot of fun to work with and the page came together really easy.

One of the best parts of being a parent, for me, is watching my partner be a parent as well.  Seeing his love for our son has made me love him more.  Watching them play together has brought me endless joy.  I just used a bunch of random photos of the two of them together that I had printed out.  I thought they made a really cute page.  I used My Mind's Eye's Cut and Paste line for this page as well as Thickers and some ink.

My Take:

Kirk's Second Birthday Party!

For Kirk's second birthday we decided to seize the opportunity of his last party with out his opinion for a theme and throw him a Star Trek birthday party.  It was a lot of fun and he really enjoyed himself.  Here are some photos of the party.
