Catalyst One Hundred and Thirty-Three is: What’s one lesson you would give a married couple?
Journaling Reads:
Many people I’ve met over the years have given me relationship and marriage advice but I think it too often depends on the dynamics of each couple. The one thing I’ve learned from my personal experience is that it’s never about 50/50. Sometimes one person needs more help or attention and sometimes it’s the other. you go with the flow and always give 100% without keeping score. If each of you do that, it’s a good path for happiness.

I look at these photos and I think of how much my heart jumps when I see you. It can be ten, twenty, even fifty times a day. I still don’t feel like i’ve had enough . My heart swells each time and I am filled with so much love for you. I am so very grateful that you are my boys.
This layout was for Maya Road mid-season releases. The brand new canvas minibook is what I used as a background here.

When I saw this photo of you, I couldn’t believe my eyes. You look so grown up. Such a big boy. What happened to my little baby? You are becoming more and more a person of your own and I am so proud of the boy you are turning out to be. I am so thankful that you still hug me and love me and like to spend time with me and I will make the most of it while I can cause I can see now it will pass quickly and next thing I know you’re going to be a man and I will miss getting to see you every single day. I love you my son.
This layout was for Maya Road mid-season releases. The butterfly and the small kraft pieces. I love love love them both!!

This layout was my second May blog post for Pink Paislee.
The theme was to tell a story. Which, for me, just means make a scrapbook page since I always tell a story 🙂
The journaling Reads:
David, I know I take too many photos of you and that sometimes I drive you crazy and you just don’t want to smile at the camera any more. But what I love so much is that you can’t help yourself. A few seconds and you break into a smile and then laugh like crazy. I love you my son.

Another month means another gallery at Write.Click.Scrapbook. This month is all about being inspired by a post/project from this year. I am still in love with these colorful cupcakes from Celeste’s post so I used them as my color inspiration.
This was designed with the beautiful Lime Twist line from My Mind’s Eye.
Journaling Reads:
You are very much obsessed with Thomas right now and read all the books you find. I love watching you and hearing you say choo choo all day.

when i started this project, i knew i would cherish it but i had no idea how much fun it would be and how it would give me unparalleled opportunity to capture our joy and laughter so perfectly. It is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I am so thankful.

Yes, long title. Can’t help myself. This layout was my first May blog post for Pink Paislee.
It was based on this awesome PageMaps sketch:

My sweet Nathaniel you watch your brother like he’s the bee’s knees. You liked to do whatever he’s doing and if you can’t play with him, then you take all your toys and sit next to him just so you can be near him. I love how cute you are and how much he loves it too.

My little boy, you are now at an age where you are able to communicate and tell us what you want and now that you know we can understand if you don’t get exactly what you want you want, you put on this face of pure sadness and devastation. your hands cover your moth in shock and if you can you throw yourself to the ground. it doesn’t really work but we both smile at how cute you are sometimes we can’t help but give in.
This layout was for Maya Road and Little Yellow Bicycle swap.

Catalyst One Hundred and Thirty-One is: Describe (or show) yourself at this point in your life.
Journaling Reads:
It might not be sexy but what I feel more than anything at this moment is so very content. I feel like I am full of peace and joy but I also feel calm. I feel my career, my family, my art, and life in general are exactly where I wish them to be at this moment. And I do not take that for granted for a second. I work out daily. I spend time with my kids. I do all my work and fulfill my obligations. But I also know I am so lucky. And things will change. Tougher times will come. So I celebrate this moment of contentment.

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.
Journaling Reads:
No matter what is going on, give up that there’s something wrong and always go where the peace is. Always be grateful.
This is for my desk. I need this reminder regularly.

One of my favorite things to photograph is you and daddy. How much you love each other and how happy you are when he’s playing with you. I know he cherishes these moments with you as much as you love them. You two have a special relationship and I love watching you so much.

This layout is for Write.Click.Scrapbook’s May Gallery. The theme is to scrap a day in the life.
Journaling Reads:
7. After breakfast at 6am, we take David to the bus so he can go to school. 8. Then it’s time for me to exercise. Treadmill and nike+ for 2.8 miles. 9. After the morning exercise I take my peace time which is also breakfast. Coffee with graham crackers (but no chocolate.) If I am lucky I can also get in some quiet journaling time. 10. While I do all this Nathaniel plays quietly and reads books. Then it’s time for work. Lately it’s all about dev releases. 12. If it’s a weekend, we take this time to do a family shot. I love these. 3. David is ready to pick up at 2:45 so when we come home we read books together. 4. Then he works on his workbooks. Most days it’s reading, writing, or math. He really likes doing them. 5. Then it’s time to write the gratitude journal. One sentence. 5. If it’s Sunday, we have family night, if not it’s playtime. 6. The kids go to bed at six so I process the daily photos. 8. And finally it’s time for some art. I get a few quiet hours and then it’s time for bed around 10pm. I love my simple life.
