Layout: Pumpkin Pickin'

I waited until the last minute to procure pumpkins last Halloween, but the in laws came to the rescue and we stopped at a pumpkin patch on our way home for looking at the fall leaves on the Parkway. In terms of cute photos, I’d say we NAILED IT! :) 

Thanks for stopping by!

Layout: Hooray Tap!

I love dance. I have loved dance since I was 9. I minored in dance in college and continue to teach dance. I am hoping to take an adult ballet class soon and reignite my passion for expressive movement and regain my creative outlet. I look forward to dancing with my daughter and cannot wait until we can take a Mommy and Me class together. She loves to dance already and knows how to pliè and bourrè turn already. 

This layout is about tap. I was a late bloomer in tap. I had to quit a dance class in 5th grade because my math grade was poor and I lied to my mother about my math homework. I chose to quit tap instead of jazz. It wasn't until my senior year in high school that I decided I wanted to tap again. I auditioned for company and was placed in the Junior Precisionettes but was able to attend the Senior Precisionettes class as well. I did not compete with either class, but fulfilled my dream of dancing the opening and closing routines of the recital with my Senior Precisionette classmates. 

I took a tap class in college. For fun. 

And an adult class after college. And danced in a recital again. So fun! 

My heart is full of dance. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Layout: So Loved

The gals at Scraptastic were featured at Page Maps this month and their work is fabulous!!!  If you haven't seen it- you need to check it out. 

Here is the Page Maps sketch for the Scraptastic blog challenge: 

And my take on the sketch: 

I used the December kit - Just Breathe and I love the links and browns!

Stick It Down

I am pleased to announce that I will be joining the Stick It Down Design Team.

Stick It Down is a challenge blog featuring sketches for single page  layouts, double page layouts, and cards. A little something for everyone! :)

There is a December sneak preview sketch, which is posted here.

Here is my take on the sketch:

Layout: Right Here

This layout happened for the sake of creating something. I needed some down time with my paper and pretties and haven't had a chance to print any recent photos. I grabbed a photo I adore and set off to just create something. 

Last week's Scraptastic challenge was to use shapes. I used a banner/fish tail shape and several circles as inspiration in the composition of this page.

Life in Details: December Challenge

This month'a challenge- ANYTHING GOES! I am using a pocketed page system to document this holiday season and I am hoping it will allow me to quickly slip in a photo or a journaling card and embellish as much as I have time for along the way! 

Amelia and I are creating handprint and footprint art to be included in my December album this year. I think they will be neat to look back on in the future. 

Make sure to come by the Life in Details blog and link up your projects! :) 

How are you documenting your December?
