Pre-School

It was time to play with a brand, spanking new kit and you know I totally did! The color palette worked perfectly with the clothes my little girl wore her 1st day of Preschool, so I knew those were the pictures that needed to be used with this kit.

Wanna know how to make use of journaling cards? I did a Masters Monday post on one way to use them. You can read it here.

Meanwhile, here's a look at my layout.

10 Years

For my birthday awhile ago, the people over at Gingerscraps gave me an awesome birthday 'package' with lots of coupons. While perusing the different stores, I found a kit I just knew I had to have and I knew exactly what pictures I would be using them with. The kit was called R and R Cafe and it was perfect for our 10 year anniversary pictures.

2014 Calendar

The new year had started and I was in need of a new calendar. I usually just use free ones we get from our insurance company, but I wanted something more fun this year. I had looked around when we were out and about and just never found anything to suit my taste.

Then I realized my little brother had given me a coupon for x amount of dollars off for Shutterfly. I knew then that I was going to make my own calendar. It took me half of January to get it done, but I did it. The following are my pages.

MARCH

Then I realized Easter was in April this year and since I have a kid with a birthday in April, I resorted to a page I already had made for March. You can see What Is Luck here.

Wild Hair

Somewhere along the way my Father in Law got a hold of this wild hair thing to show support for some sports team. My little guy put one on and his uncle threw the other one on his head. We got some photos and this is the layout that came from it.

As Long As We Got Each Other

This is a layout that was started months ago, but at the time I was extremely pregnant and didn't want to search for all the photos. I also decided I wasn't digging the kit I had originally used. Then I found the perfect kit and this layout was born.

You're Special

This was the Survivor Week #2 challenge. The challenge was Something Magical. From the forum rules:

"This Layout will be inspired by the magical ruby slippers of Oz! What item do you have in your life that is precious to you? Maybe quilt your grandmother made for you, or is it your wedding ring, your old cheerleader sweater or sweethearts Letterman jacket, maybe you have dog tags from your (or your loved ones) time serving your country, or maybe you have your very own special pair of ruby slippers! Whatever it may be, this is your opportunity to create a layout, all about your treasured item. "

The item that jumped out at me was a stuffed bear. The layout journaling tells you the rest...

"It's that tangible item I chose to cling to after you died. It was the last birthday gift I received from you and grandma. (Though uncle David actually chose it)
A simple, pink stuffed bear with a little pillow with the words: You Are Special. You were always one to see the worth of souls. This bear has traveled with me for 20 years and helped me feel like you've been here when I've needed you, especially anytime I hear the words, "You Are Special."
Though only one of nineteen grandkids, you always made me feel important and special, as if I were your only one."

Party On!

I was waiting a bit before posting this layout, because I had hoped to get the other side made to it before doing so - but then my dear 5 year old son deleted the digital post-it note that I had detailing my supply list for quite a few layouts. Therefore, we're just posting them all now and praying I remember what I used...

Here's a birthday party layout when my almost 9 year old turned 5. 4 years ago - craziness!!!
