Layout: First Round (Throwback Thursday!)

When flipping through my photos in order to find a story that needed to be told, I came across these photos that were taken the day Ryan asked me out for our first date. (There are no photos of Ryan- I’m not that creepy!) I love having this story at the beginning of our “Us” album. 

Football season begins soon and I am happy to say that we have season tickets in the same section of the stadium where we met.

Layout: Play!

I started this layout months ago when I was taking the Art and Science class at Big Picture Classes. This was based on a sketch and I struggled with the sketch and amount of photos it called for. I printed the photos and cut the patterned paper to size, then filed the layout away to be completed later. 

I am happy with the outcome and I am glad to have finally finished this layout. 

Layout: Sweet Naptime

My scrappy pals and I recently dug into our stashes and sent each other kits to scrap with. This was a fun swap because I love finding inspiration in supplies I might not have picked out for myself. 

I love watching this kid sleep. She finds her way into great positions and looks just sweet as pie. 

Layout: Happy Halloween (Throwback Thursday!)

Yes, it took me until December to complete my Halloween layouts, until April to blog them, and until July to hit publish. Don’t judge!  

 For Halloween, Millie had two costumes. One was an awesome fish costume bought on clearance by my in laws when she was a newborn. It was too cute! And one was this handmade TARDIS sweatshirt a la me. I pulled out the old standby Cat in the Hat onesie. But I didn't have the hat. So I grabbed a top hat and drew on a nose and whiskers and called it good enough. 

We had around 350 trick or treaters. We are planning on doing it up big this Halloween - music, lights, maybe some games...any ideas?!? 

Layout: Friend Zone

I am so excited to share with you all my first process video. I am a little nervous to share this with the world, but I really enjoyed making this layout and this video.

Check out the video and let me know what you think in the comments section!

Layout: Girl’s Night Out

I had such a wonderful time going to see Pilobolus with my mother and mother in law at the beginning of July. I was even selected for audience participation for one of the pieces! I miss going to see live performances and need to get back into the habit of attending performances more regularly.

Layout: A Perfect Day

In attempts to use every last scrap from my June Scraptastic Summer Nights kit, I created this layout. I had used most of the patterned paper in the kit so I grabbed the 3x4 cards and some of the other embellishments and created some simple layers. 

How do you stretch your supplies?
