This layout is for Write.Click.Scrapbook’s October Gallery. The theme is shadows.

my sweet boys, i want you to know that the best part of life is getting to make your own path. you do not need to ever walk in anyone else’s shadow or aspire to be just like anyone else. You should always be you. You are unique and wonderful in all the ways that make you who you are. Make sure to honor that and forge your own path in life. I love you and will always support you.

Which has more stickers: the paper or your shirt?

This is a layout I made for the August My Mind’s Eye newsletter.

Journaling Reads:
Little boy, you absolutely love stickers but instead of sticking them on paper like you should, you like to stick them everywhere but. You especially like to stick them on your shirt and then you take them off and put them on the paper and then back to your shirt. Which of course doesn’t work since they don’t stick anymore and I end up picking them up from all over the floor. You’re lucky you’re so cute.

It is Never Too Early to Love books My Son

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.

Tis the Season to be Merry

This is a layout I made for My Mind’s Eye’s Holiday Showcase back in December.

Since I spend all of December doing my December Daily album, I often don’t feel like scrapping most of my holiday adventures. Each year, I make one layout that captures the holiday. This year, I put together all of my favorite photos from throughout December and made a collage on my page. This way I can pull out this one page and remember this year’s wonderful holiday season.

Holiday Project – Gift Card Holder

I tend to think that gift cards feel too impersonal for Christmas. But, for some people, a gift card is exactly the right gift so, for those occasions, I try to make it more personal by putting the card in a handmade gift card holder. For this one, I just took a plain manila tag from an office supply store and covered it with this beautiful paper from the Holly Jolly line. I then used the other side of the paper to create a small pocked on the tag, which I stitched on. I embellished my tag with chipboard pieces from Holly Jolly and even added a little baker’s twine which is easy to move out of the way so I can put the card in there.

Here it is with the card inside:

and here it is with the card sticking out:

If you want to make it even more elegant, you can put it in a brown box with some tissue paper. A big ribbon and you have a beautiful, hand-made gift.

Holiday Project – Paper Garland

I have this window in front of my desk that always stays closed. For the holidays, I thought it would be fun to make a little garland so I can enjoy the little sunlight that comes in. I hung a small Martha Stewart garland and then punched hearts, snowflakes, doilies and butterflies out of my favorite green and blue My Mind’s Eye papers and I stitched to my heart’s content and just loosely hung them on each other so it looks like a web of snowflakes.

Since it’s right in front of the window, it’s hard to get a good shot, but I really do love it.

I even made a little movie for you:
