Nesting away... with more layouts!

Okay... so nesting may simply apply to the need to prepare the nest for a welcomed new one. And while the nest has been tweaked, twigged and feathered I have felt the need to tend to my creativity and the forgotten memories of our two little girls as well. I have heard it said that the oldest child often gets a large portion of many things, and I must say, this is true of our family scrapbook pages. So I have decided to revisit the stash of pictures that has accumulated over the past three years and highlight a bit more of Sara Kate's childhood. Here is a few of Sara Kate's pages that I was able to finish at the National Scrapbook Weekend CROP.

Sara Kate and mama last spring (2007) Just hamming it up!!

The infamous Spidergirl sleeping (Fall 07) Always a classic!

Sara Kate at 13 months while visiting Hannah's preschool class (Nov 05) This would be a precursor to the loving and nurturing quality she inherited from her Daddy.

Sara Kate's visit to the sunflowers (Aug 07) Kansas offers these beautiful flower patches alongside any highway, though the best are often hidden away.

What can I say...? Its Sara Kate pouting... always a bittersweet moment.... (Fall 07)

I was so excited to bring some of these papers together in our family scrapbook. And interestingly I altered the pictures to black and white so to have free rane with the colors and patterns of these papers. But I found myself also choosing the main colors to match what color would have been seen in the original picture. It's maddening all the way around... but it's my preferred form of madness!!
Thanks so much for stopping by to look!!
