Scrap it with a Song: These are the Moments

This weeks song at scrap it with a song is These are the moments. They used the Sara Evans version but I listened to the Edwin McCain version. I know I am such a rebel. I used the layout from The Pink Elephant this week. I know I am getting in just under the wire and I am not in love with my layout this week. I wanted to go a completely different direction but I would not find the pictures I was looking for any where. I turned this house up side down. But I found these pictures of Tanner in December when we went to Disney World. Tanner wasn't even 2 at the time these were taken. We were all shocked when he walked right up to the Little Einsteins and gave Leo a hug and a kiss. Thank goodness my mom had her camera on her.

Black and White Photo

This week The Pink Elephant's layout challenge is to use a black and white photo. I believe this is Gavin at 2. Ok....I do know it is Gavin I just don't know if he was 2 or 3 in this picture. When you have as many boys as I do all the years tend to run together if you know what I mean...lol.

I used the sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches. I thought that the circles made into Christmas tree ornaments would be perfect. I really like how it came out. I know it is simple but I think it is super sweet.
