I had the honor to guest design for My Creative Scrapbook kit club in March. This is one of the layouts I made with their main kit.

You’ve sucked you thumb from a very young age but this blanket obsession is all new. You started taking this one blanket everywhere you go. You sleep with it and go in the car with it. David never had these comforts so I wasn’t sure how to handle it. The more I watched you, the more I realized how much comfort and sense of safety it gives you. So I decided to support you fully. I love you my son and I love the blanket, too.
And some details:
This second Pink Paislee project was an inspiration piece, too.
It was inspired by this amazing cake:

White, teal, pink and red might be my favorite color combination of all time.
The journaling Reads:
My sweet boy, as your mom, I make daily decisions that shape your future. What school you get to go to, which friends you can play with, what activities are best, etc. And while I always do my very best to think it through I also worry every day that my decisions are the best ones for you I hope and pray that I am opening and closing the right doors. One thing I know, I am doing my very best to do right by your every step of the way.

This is the second layout I shared on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.

I decided at the end of last year that we needed more photos of all four of us together so now we take family photos each weekend. Not only are these some of my favorite shots but they are also some of our most fun moments together. Hooray for awesome new projects.

One of my Pink Paislee projects for this month was to lift a member from the Live Pink gallery. Here’s my layout:
and here’s the amazing layout I lifted by Diana Brodeur
I am a huge white-space fan and the softness of this layout really spoke to me. I loved that it was asymmetrical and I also loved the little layered elements. So when creating my layout, I replaced her circle with a heart (I am too scared to mist, so I didn’t even try that even though I absolutely love the misting she did on her layout.) I then layered my ephemera.
While the layout has several elements I use on most of my pages (I stitched a border and around the heart and I put an edgie on the right top corner) I think the look and feel of it is definitely similar to Diane’s stunning original.
Journaling Reads:
My sweet son when you were born I fell so deeply in love with you that I did no think there was any way I could love you any more. But I was wrong . As you grow more and more each day, my love for you grows too. I am so proud of you and so thankful that you’re my boy. I love you more and more every day.

A few months ago, I had the honor to be a guest blogger on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog and here’s one of the two layouts I shared:
Journaling Reads:
I love capturing the smiles and the laughter but I do also think that it’s important and worthwhile to preserve these more tender, more difficult moments. They are a part of our life and I know that, years later, I will cherish these tearful moments, too. All of our life is magical and changes too quickly.

Catalyst One Hundred and Thirty is: Tell us about a Favorite/special piece of clothing.
Journaling Reads:
I have saved this pair of jeans for 21 years. They traveled with me from Turkey to Pittsburgh to New York to San Diego and to the Bay Area. People told me to throw them out several times. “You can never fit the jeans you wore at 17.” I heard again and again. But I couldn’t bear to give up. And now that I am finally losing all this weight, I can finally fit into them once again (they don’t close just yet but still.) miracles do happen.

This layout was for the March My Mind’s Eye newsletter.
Journaling Reads:
My sweet boy, I really love these photos because I can see your true interest and joy of looking at the books. You flip through the pages and really look at each detail. I can’t wait until you can talk and tell me what you think. And until you can read and enjoy books even more. I think it’s never too early to fall in love with the joy of books and the gifts of reading. It’s my very favorite thing to do in the world.
Everything on here is from the new Stella Rose line.

I made this for a guest design spot for Making Memories.
Journaling Reads:
This is Daddy’s favorite photo because he thinks it’s so funny and sweet and loves the look on your face when I snapped it. I love this photo, too. But not because it’s technically good, even though it is and not because it’s funny, though it’s that too. I love it because it shows that even at a little over one, you know to make faces to the camera. You are extraordinary my son. I love you.
Yes, super-long title this time. I like having fun with my titles.
This layout is for Write.Click.Scrapbook’s April Gallery. The theme is to scrap those not-so-perfect photos. I couldn’t find photos less perfect than these if I tried. Photo booths fascinate me and I love them. I love all these photos so much. So I am really glad I had an excuse to scrap them.
Journaling Reads:
I have long been a fan of photo booths, I cannot pass one without taking photos. I am not sure what it is that I love so much about them. Maybe it’s just that the photos are so very imperfect that you just let go and truly enjoy yourself. Make silly faces and just have fun.

I had the honor of being the December 2010 Guest designer for October Afternoon. This is one of the layouts I made for them.
Journaling Reads:
I look at the two of you playing together on the floor, taking turns to add blocks to your structure and I wonder what I did to deserve this amazing life. These wonderful children. How did I get so lucky? You two are by far the greatest accomplishments of my life. I love you more than there are words to describe and I count my blessings each and every single day. June 10.

I know it must be so tempting to see so many things lying around that don’t belong to you. David’s clothes, toys, and workbooks. My clothes and my phone and computers, gadgets all look so appealing, especially singe you see me use them so often. So as much as I can, I try to indulge you. I let you play with the headphones and socks, etc. But I draw the line at markers and computers. Just not yet my son. Soon.

One of my biggest regrets as an adult is that I never learned how to ride a bike when I was a kid. I tried a few times in my twenties and even in my thirties but it’s much harder when you’re older. So I am adamant that Daddy teach you how to ride a bike so that you will not end up like me and enjoy many years of bike riding like all kids. I love you my wonderful David.
