Get Well Blog Hop

Welcome to 

Shorty Creations and the 

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons 

Get Well Blog Hop!!!

If you came here from Nicole's blog, you're in the right place. If you just stumbled upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit Lisa's blog.

For today's hop we're all making get well projects using Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon's Files. Last month, my 5 year old had several doctors visits and spent a few days/nights in the hospital due to complications with pneumonia. It was incredibly scary at the time, but now that she's all healthy I had to scrap some of the pictures I took.

Our Daddy... Our Hero!

Happy Father's Day!!!

     My girls are so blessed to have such an amazing daddy. Both of my girls are daddy's girls in every way. For father's day, my girls and I created this gift for my hubby. 

     It was so much fun and so easy to make, we made one for each of their grandfathers too. 

     Since we went out of town this weekend, my hubby got to open his present a little early. He absolutely LOVED it and said it was the best present he's ever gotten =D

I can't take credit for this super cute project. It was a Pinterest find. You can see Shanty 2 Chic's original project here. She lists all the material you need and even gives you tons of printables to use. After I took the pics I also added the date and my girls names to the bottom with a white sharpie.

Monica's SURPRISE Baby Shower Blog Hop!

Welcome to 

Shorty Creations

and
Monica's SURPRISE 

Baby Shower Blog Hop!!!

My good friend Monica from Monica's Creative Madness will soon be welcoming a new little boy to her family, so some of us got together to throw her this surprise hop.  We're all making scrapbook layouts that she can use to keep up with all of the memories of the first year with her little sweetie.  

If you arrived here from Xochitl's blog, you are in the right place.  If you stumbled upon my post and would like to start from the beginning, head on over to the Cameo Creations Blog.  Be sure to stop by each and every blog along the way for tons of baby album inspiration.  Plus, there's bound to be some awesome blog candy up for grabs!

If you know Monica... you know she's all about the LA Dodgers. So I just had to make her a Dodger layout!

     I got this awesome paper from JoAnn's but I also found some Digital paper on Esty, Digital Dodger Scrapbook Paper. It works great too ;)

     My second layout is all about December. Little Man's first Christmas!

Check Up...

It's DT day over at 

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons

     My 5 year old recently had several doctors visits and a few days/nights in the hospital due to complications with pneumonia. It was incredibly scary to watch her go through so much pain. By the grace of God she is much better and is recovering nicely. 

I took lots of pics while she was going through treatment and Lisa's latest files go perfectly with them. 

Her little sister always puts her in a better mood =D
