Remember this.

I love that my kids still put up with my first day of school pics request.  I guess they know if they don't I will hunt them down... ;)

One of my favorite parts of the So This Happened kit from Scrapbook Circle were the little journaling phrases.  It was hard choosing my favorites-I narrowed it down to the words and phrases that reminded me of my son:

all good things.

 

This picture not only makes me giggle but it reminds me how precious life and times with our loved ones are.  This weekend my daughter had flown into town to celebrate my Grandmother’s life.  My girl currently lives 14 hours from me, as you can see even in Walmart we can have fun!

My advice?  Embrace those moments you have with your loved ones–sometimes you are in the moment without a picture.  But then sometimes you can convince people to be just as crazy as you and take a picture and have a silly moment frozen in time. 😉  

All products can be found in the So This Happened kit for February.

Dream.

I'll be honest this is one of my favorite pictures and layouts right now.  I had a lot of fun just playing and creating.
here are some closeups:

Life is Lovely.

1.  Branch out with your color choices.  I challenged myself to embrace a different colored background–my go to for card stock is usually white, I was happy to incorporate this lovely shade of pink that went with a few of the papers from the So This Happened Kit.

2. Strips of paper help you to use up scraps AND give some interest to your page.  I’ll be honest, I loved so many papers in this kit I wanted to use them ALL–how do you make that work?  You cut them in strips and add them to the edge of your layout-simple right?

3. Finally I went very light on the embellishments.  I sewed a little and added some mist drops randomly to draw the eye to the pictures–this was a quick simple layout that I actually really like!
