This was an exciting year where I had my FIRST EVER published work!
First I was in the ALL ABOUT BABY IDEA BOOK 2012, two of Bella's baby layouts were published.
Then I was in the CRICUT BIRTHDAY IDEA BOOK 2012 where Isabella's Cupcake Toppers and Wrappers and her Birthday Frame were Published!
THEN lastly I was in CARDS JULY 2012 where a Wedding Card I made was published! So a busy year indeed! Hope to get back into scrapping soon!
Here are the items published!
An e-mail was sent out to Subscribers, and one of my layouts was featured and I was mentioned! Pretty cool!!

Kailey's Nursery is done!
We are done with nursery #2! I didn't think we'd ever get finished! I don't have great photo's of the white acrylic decals on the walls.. hopefully if I get some taken I will swap them... so most pics are without the decals.. I only had them placed on the main crib wall and the dresser wall!
I had a lot of fun picking out fabrics, and putting it all together, but am happy it's done! I am 3 weeks away from my due date, and it's time to slow down some!! HOPEFULLY!!

Isabella's 2nd Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party!!
We celebrated Isabella's 2nd Birthday Party on Saturday, August 11th, 2012. I was going to keep it simple this year, but it did not end up as simple as I wanted it. I designed my own invitation and created all the labels, and water bottle labels, and made my own signature frame. I will try to add best of my ability what I did make/use/buy.
You can now buy the Strawberry Party Printables in my Etsy Shop! http://www.etsy.com/shop/JJRDesigns
The labels were also from Publisher. I used the same template I had last year for her OWL birthday party, and changed the graphics and text some. I used regular scrapbook punches, and already had misc. ribbon at home to use.
