why am i blogging?






It's 11:30pm. And I've felt the sudden urge to blog. Never mind that I still need to have a shower, clean the kitchen, and prepare my lesson for church tomorrow. Oy. I just wanted to share a couple recent layouts. I've been working on "filling in" some spaces in Payton's album. So the layout above is totally recent, and the layout below is from her first ballet class when she was still two years old. AAAaaahhh! It makes my heart absolutely ache to look at these pictures of her. So little and young and chubby and sweet. I remember this day perfectly...my first daughter taking her first ballet class. It was such an important part of our little history...I can't believe I had never scrapbooked it!







I kept things simple for this layout by going hybrid...I used the House of 3 collage templates and then the damask brushes to embellish the photos. I love hybrid scrapbooking!

Okay, I totally gotta get to bed. Night!

LOVE this!!
Been peeking at your blog after going to Big Picture Scrapbooking and love lots of this!!

I just did a few layouts of my nine year old and then a few more from when she was 1 -2.......it's sooooo fun to create with the perspective of where we've been and where we now are!

Thanks for your inspiration!
