  1. I love it! I love the colors. They are my favorite, especially for a boy! So cute! Not only do I love looking at your blog for scrapbooking ideas. I found your blog through Angie’s blog. I lost my son Kooper due to a cord accident at 38 weeks 2 days and he was born on July 11th. So I like to look at your cute little boy and I always picture what my Kooper would look like. I am expecting again and we are excited and hoping for a happy and healthy pregnancy:)

    Keep up the cute scrapbooking I need all the help I can get!

  2. I love what you did with the Animal Crackers line! That canvas is so sweet!
    Your little one is so cute. He’s lucky he’s going to have so many beautiful pages to look back on.

  3. Love this line!! It’s soo cute for a little boy! I started scrapbooking when my daughter was born, but I’ve let it go. I have a boy due in March and I have all good intentions to work on both scrapbooks when he gets here. This blog is helping inspire me and I’m sure I’ll use some of your examples to help me come up with new ideas!! Thanks!!!

  4. One word. FABULOUS! What great pages to help document the life of a special little boy! I’d love to have these for my little man! You’re too much… but we love ya!

  5. Ohhhhh, I have nev-er wanted to win something so badly!

    I have been drooling over so much of the stuff you feature- I used to have a scrapping budget but I am dealing with a major illness and a 10% insurance deductible sounded awesome when we were signing up, but now that I actually have to pay ten percent of, like, a bazillion dollars…let’s just say I’m not on a first name basis with every Michael’s staffer any longer.

    🙁

    I have adored watching Elias grow…one of my new favorite photos is the one of him in his fleece hat (you know, the one from Nana, I think?). He looks so much like Matthew there! Normally I tend to think he looks like you more, and when he smiles, it looks like he only rented Matthew’s DNA and is ALL you! But not only did he resemble his dad in that photo, I think the main reason he did so was that Matthew likely would have made the *exact* same face if made to wear a big puffy yellow fleece hat!

    Anyway, thanks so much for giving everyone a chance at these great giveaways! I am so glad Angie does good PR for you…I would have hated to never find your blog… 🙂

  6. The REST page was my fav!!! I am loving this posts so much, I love scapbooking and baby stuff -dont have a baby yet- but I still so :p

  7. Oh, oh, pick me, pick me!

    Two cheers for Animal Crackers! The paper, the embellishments, too cute. Once again, you amaze me and Elias looks adorable all little and sleepy. Please remind us when QVC airs the Xyron show. I am all over seeing more samples and getting a product demo.

  8. I love this line. I have been trying to find it to do my 3rd’s baby album. I have 3 boys and it is So nice to find really cute boy stuff.

  10. I heart the animal crackers line. I have to say this is my favorite of what you’ve shown us so far. I haven’t bought many kits or matching sets so I’m always having trouble figuring out what will “go” together. Put me in for the drawing as I’d love the Jack line to continue working on my son’s baby/toddler scrapbook. Thanks!

  53. Your pages are too cute! Isn’t a boy so much fun! Your post on the “1800’s Hat” hit the mark – I have one picture of my son in a hat made by his great grandmother – I thought the same thing. I love the colors you use and the ideas you have.

  58. Fabulous layouts! I love that the Animal Crackers line is cute in a very classic way. Not too cutsey. Thanks for the great giveaway.

  59. The Animal Cracker line is one of my favorites MM line even though I don’t have a baby. I still used it on non-baby layouts though.

  60. This is sooo adorable! I love all of your work! I’m in love with this line – perfect for my baby boys books 🙂 TFS!!!

  61. Hey Jessica

    I love your scrapbook work they are amazing. Just curious, what do you do with all of your books or pages when you have completed them? Do they go on coffee table, or book shelf? That is one reason why I haven’t done this kind of thing! Lack of space! 🙂

  62. I bought some of this line for my son’s baby book and just love it. I will definitely be scraplifting your layouts. They’re beautiful.

  63. I love just about every line from making memories! Animal crackers is really great, I hope I win… I hope I win…

  75. Beautiful LOs w/ this line! I love the blocked one w/ all the pics and different patterned paper, and the “You” one is just precious w/ the curvy wave of stars. Thanks for the chance for a giveaway – my kids are much bigger now (9 and 6), but did I ever finish their baby books…umm, no (blush).

  76. your work is beautiful. the products are fabulously coordinated, what a shout out to mm. i never looked at the paper to animal crackers, because i thought it would be too baby — but it’s great and could be used for a lot of things. thanks for enlightening me!
