Simple Stories {Documented}

I know that I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I LOVE being ‘Aunt Christie’.

My nephew, Cooper will be two years old on April 1st. He’s talking so much now and he can say my name, which I love.

It sounds like he’s saying, “Kiss-tee”…It’s Appropriate because I kiss on his little head. all. the. time.

I took the photo in this layout when I was watching Cooper the other day; he was running so fast that the photo is blurry but I love it anyway.

Speaking of nephews, here’s a photo of my new little nephew, Jackson:

Jackson was born last Monday, his mommy took this photo of him…just hours old. What a dreamy little guy. I’m already in love with him.

I’m headed out to California in May, can’t wait to snuggle him.

~o~

Have a wonderful week!

Banner Week Project #3: Wood

Christie — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 17:49:53 +0000

Cooper turns 2 on April 1st! I can’t say it enough: TIME FLIES.

I love these photos of my sister, Emilee with Cooper. In the first photo, I called his name and he looked toward me; in the second photo, he caught notice of me and smiled; in the third photo he reached for me.

I love it when he reaches for me. It’s so fun to be aunt Christie.

At this rate “Banner Week” will more likely last more than a week.

On this layout I used the Wood Veneer Banners by Studio Calico.

How do you feel about wood embellishments? I like the texture they added.

Off to play with more banners.

Have a fan-tabulous day!

Little Yellow Bicycle {Twig}

Seriously? Is this little nephew of mine not the cutest little smiley thing? I am so in love with little Cooper.

He will be a year old in just a few weeks. Time flies faster and faster as I get older and older.

I tell you what, I’m treasuring each and every moment with this little guy. My hubby and kids are enjoying him too.

Last week Parker said, “Cooper is just so cute, I can’t look away!”

It’s true. Cooper is so darn cute! What’s not to love about this little guy?

Have a happy day!

xoxo, Christie

A Sneak Peek at one of my CHA projects…

What a CRAZY week!

Getting projects ready for CHA,

Preparing Kits for my Paradise Scrapbook Boutique Class,

Helping Courtney Move,

Preparing and packing for California….

You get the picture.

_____________

While I’m on the CHA track…

If you’re attending CHA in Chicago, be sure to stop by the

Graphic 45 Booth

and the

Shimmerz Booth

I made this little banner awhile ago using

The Girls Paperie Line,

Paper Girl:

It was so hard to photograph hanging on the wall…

I probably should have tried a different location.

Lighting = Not Good.

I bought the cutest little green lamps at work (blame the Lighting Store)

And now I’ve been trying to bring green into my living room.

The banner helped a bit.

Yet again, I may be absent from my blog for a tick or two.

I’m still not sure if I’ll have an internet connection where I’m headed.

I may just have to hang out at a Starbucks for awhile…

…I’ll use them for their WiFi.

Just because he’s cute,

Here’s a picture of my adorable nephew, Cooper:

I’ll miss him while I’m in California.

But on the flip side,

I’ll get to smother these cuties with hugs and smooches:

Yipee!

Love those nieces of mine.

__________

Be patient with me while I’m traveling and in return,

I will try to hunt down WiFi

so that I may stop by and visit you too!

Lots of OXOXOX’s

Prima Love {Part 2}

Christie — Wed, 12 May 2010 16:43:37 +0000

Here’s another look at the Spring Album that I made using Prima Papers.

I love all the soft colors…they just make me feel good.

I never get tired of Maya Road’s little chipboard accents. I used a pen to add pink dots and some glitter to the circle in the photo above.

I love glitter.

On this page I let the Prima Flowers take over. I love how the flowers match the paper perfectly.

Here, I just cut out some of the birds from the Prima paper and added some glitter.

Did I mention I love glitter?

I’ll share the rest of the Spring Album photos tomorrow…be sure to stop back by to see the remaining pages.

Today I became an aunt to my sweet new nephew, Cooper.

My little brother Seth, such a sweet Daddy:

Kristin and Seth looking at all of Coopers little features minutes after he arrived:

What an amazing day!

I am so grateful for the little miracle called Cooper!
