Inspiration for INSD!!!

I wanted to spend some time and post a bunch of my layouts that I have made with kits from Touched By a Butterfly – call it inspiration for International Scrapbooking Day!!! So here it goes……

 

A Visit to E.B. – 

These were from a trip we took to visit EB (Easter Bunny) as he in known in our house! In 2012 we parked in the wrong lot at our local mall, and ended up with a VERY different bunny than the one we are used to visiting each year.

He was kind of scary actually, with a LARGE mesh hole in the middle of his forehead – and we had to reassure her that it was okay and that he was eager to talk to her about Easter.

Of course, she was a bit confused as this one didn’t actually talk to her and respond to her, but she accepted it, and even had a great time controlling the photo session, and making sure he knew that he was supposed to hide the plastic eggs – NOT the real ones we were dyeing that afternoon!

 

I used the super sweet & cute kit – Easter – you can find it here –

Rainy Day Fun – 

Miss K absolutely adores playing in the rain! We got super lucky and right after we got her this set of boots and jacket (to match her Hello Kitty umbrella from Korea) we got a beautiful fall rain!!

We spent a VERY long time, exploring raindrops on the umbrella, jumping in puddles, finding worms and snail, and just walking in the rain enjoying the sights, smells, sounds, and joy of a rainy fall day!!!

 

I used the adorable kit called – Rainy Day Fun – and you can find it here –

LOVE our Fur-Babies!!! –

Long before our daughter was born, we had cats. They were our firstbabies, our fur-babies. T

hey were the ones to come to greet us at the door each evening, and give us lots of love and affection, and appreciation. Now, we have our human baby, and our fur-babies, and they are STILL a huge part of our family!

Nothing is better than a warm kitty, purring on your lap, helping you take a nap, or reminding you that you are never too old to play!!

I used the super cute, and full of purr-fect elements kit – I Love Cats! You can find it here –

Our Beautiful Baby Girl! – 

These are some of the most precious pictures that I have of our daughter. Miss K was born in Seoul, S. Korea, and we did not get to bring her home to our family until she was 10 months old – due to paperwork issues here in the US (but that’s another story!) Anyway, in Korea, babies whose birth parents have made an adoption plan for them are very lucky. They are loved and cared for in foster homes, with a Mom and Dad (Omma and Appa) and sometimes other foster babies or children and grand children of their foster parents. Our foster Mom is an AMAZING lady – who went above and beyond the basic care and feeding of Miss K (her Korean name is Soo Jin which means Beautiful Jade) – she took videos (which were destroyed inadvertently by a very inept CVS employee, and about 100 photos of her in the 10 months she was with them. She printed them all, and put them into an album for us.

The pictures here are from when Soo Jin had just arrived in their home, she was about 10 days to 2 weeks old at the time. I feel so incredibly blessed that we have pictures of our precious daughter when she was so very tiny! I can never thank Mrs. Lim for everything she did for Soo Jin, and for us, but I hope that she knows how much her loving care meant (and still means to us!)

I used the beautiful kit – Precious Baby for these layouts – you can find it here –

Disneyland – The Happiest Place on Earth…and Pretty Yummy Too!!! – 

Our very first trip to Disneyland with Miss K, was an amazing adventure!

It is truly a different, more magical place with a child! Especially when the wee one is only 15 months old!

The weather made it somewhat difficult on her, however, and we had many, many breaks for cold drinks, naps, and most importantly – TREATS!

This was her very first Mickey Head Ice Cream Sandwich – one of Mommy’s favorites. Miss K loved it that day, and still does to this very day!

I used thee super sweet (tee hee hee…pun intended) kit – Ice Cream Party – and you can find it here –
