silly faces

Sick of all the layouts yet? :) This one was also published in the Spring 2012 issue of Scrapbooking and Beyond. The little man is getting to the age of not wanting to smile at the camera anymore. Well, if he does, it’s a painful smile. I have resorted to saying ridiculous and completely inappropriate things to make him smile. This time, it turned into a fit of giggles. I love this photo because I can just hear him laughing.

greatest adventure

Another layout that was published in Scrapbooking and Beyond magazine, this one in the Spring 2012 issue. Using the Technique Tuesday stamp set, Loving Words, by Ali Edwards, this layout came together very quickly! To make the title, I stamped the sentiment, “you are my greatest joy” and masked off the word joy. I used letter stickers to spell out adventure. The idea came from a quote that has been pinned to my corkboard forever! The patterned papers are from October Afternoon (Rocket Age). They screamed six year old boy and I am hoarding them! :)

Gratitude: On Tuesday and Thursday I get to volunteer in my son’s classroom at school. I love that I get to be a part of his day, but more importantly, I get to use my teaching skills, something that I am still very passionate about! There is nothing quite like watching a student understand a new concept, or read a challenging word, or get an answer correct when they worked hard! I am grateful for the school for allowing me to be there and to help out!!!!

Gratitude: Today I am thankful for a creative outlet. I love this hobby/job of mine. How lucky am I to get to play with paper and express myself?! Along with that comes the privilege of working with wonderful people in the industry and making some of my closest friends! Lucky girl. No, blessed girl!
