This is one of the projects I did for Authentique Paper for CHA Summer.
Journaling Reads:
in 2006, almost a year after we moved to the bay area we started going to Lemo’s Farm for halloween. They have a little train, a lot of pumpkins, and a petting zoo. It has now become our yearly tradition. We go early just as they open and it’s not so crowded so we have a ton of fun playing!
This is a project I did for My Mind’s Eye for CHA Summer. It uses the beautiful Lost and Found 2 collection.

I absolutely adore this picture of you my son. it’s one of those stories that is at the core of why i scrap. you are sitting at your high chair t eat and you make sure to turn around and sneak a look through the small hole in your chair and see what the rest of us are up to. now you do this all the time but soon it will be gone forever. but this page will help us remember this moment forever.

This is one of the projects I did for Pink Paislee for CHA Summer. It uses their brand new Nantucket line. This line is absolutely stunning!
Journaling Reads:

Catalyst One Hundred and Thirty-Three is: Do you have a favorite or important family recipe?
My thoughts:
I thought a lot about this catalyst. My first hunch was to make it on mousse chocolat or gateaux salami, both of which my grandmother made for me each time I came to visit. It was her way of showing me how much she loved me and how much she missed me. But as the weeks passed, I decided I wanted to make this one about my family and the recipe of laughter and joy that these family photos have brought to me. I don’t cook so I will not be leaving my two sons any recipes for them to continue to pass down. But if I can pass down the power of laughter and joy as my recipe for a fulfilled and happy life and family, I will consider it a success..
This layout uses the new Vintage Vogue line from Pink Paislee. Since it’s a brand new line, I thought it might be fun to show more details than usual.

In June, I had the honor of guest designing with Little Yellow Bicycle’s Sweet Summertime collection. Here is one of my layouts:

In the beginning of 2011 I decided we would take full family photos weekly. I know that even if they were posed and in the same spot, I would love having them What i didn’t know then was how we would invent tickle time at the end of each session and how i would cherish those photos even more!
And some details:
This layout uses the new Mistables collection from Pink Paislee. It was just meant to be a reminder to myself. Didn’t really need any journaling.
Mistables are awesome. Especially for someone like me who loves Mixed Media products. On this page, I used pan pastels, distress inks, stamps, and copics. The options are truly unlimited with these amazing products.

There are so many things I love about you David. You’re so kind and giving and generous and you’re funny and sweet. You always listen to me and do what I ask without complaining, You take walks with me and give me hugs and curl up with me. But What i love the most is how happy you are. How you don’t have my sad demeanor. and how you can lift me up with just one smile and you smile a lot! I love you David.

A few weeks ago we went on a vacation to Santa Cruz. The two of you immediately started playing together. David read books to Nathaniel. Nathaniel gave hugs to David, You both played with silly putty and you laughed and laughed together. Seeing the two of you like that was another proof that having two kids was a great decision. We love watching the way you two play together and love each other.
This layout was for the Pink Paislee blog from June.
A few weeks ago, I had the honor of designing with Jenni Bowlin’s Haven line. Here’s what I made:
Journaling Reads:
My sweet Nathaniel, when david was two years old, i was working full-time and did not get to spend my days with him but now that I work from home I get to experience this age with you and I am enjoying it so very much and I am so grateful that I get to live it every single day.

This layout is for Write.Click.Scrapbook’s June Gallery. The theme is to scrap Weddings.
Journaling Reads:
twins. right before the ceremony started Aksel was supposed to put petals all over the ground. Instead he turned over his whole bucket and dumped them.
chuppah. I loved that our chuppah was carried by family and they got to surround us the entire time. Holding our home over us. Protecting.
weather. It was an amazing Boston day and to have it in Jake’s home with such a stunning garden…it could not have been more special than this.
ceremony. i am not religious but i wanted a traditional ceremony. we got the best mixture of tradition and poetry. Quiet, personal, and magical.
danny. I will never forget hearing danny’s sniffs throughout our whole ceremony. He was so emotional and I love him so very much.
Quiet. We took a moment of quiet just for us right after the ceremony and it was so nice to look at the house full of our loved ones and take a pause.
Speech. My dad gave one of the best speeches I ever heard. Funny, kind, and insightful. He’s an amazing person and I will never forget the speech.
Cake. Our wedding was mostly quiet and not over the top, This cake was the only splurge I wanted and I loved the way it looked and tasted.
Friends. We kept our wedding small. Only our closest friends and I am so glad those special people were there to witness and celebrate with us.
forever. The very best part of our wedding was by far the marriage. Getting to spend forever with the man I love, my best friend, is the greatest gift ever.

This was designed with the beautiful Lime Twist line from My Mind’s Eye.

I know it’s frustrating to work instead of play but I think discipline starts at a young age and there 3 things will serve you well at school and in life my son.

I had the honor to guest design for My Creative Scrapbook kit club in March. This is the last of the layouts I made with their main kit.
Journaling Reads:
It’s hard for me to see photos of myself. I have too many issues to even list here. But this year I decided that we needed more photos of all four of us and I decided it was time for me to get over my issues so I could get in the photo more and capture all of us. It has been the best decision I made in a long long time. So I am making this page as a reminder that it’s about the joy and the laughter and the memories we are making together. I will never deny our family this again.
