Imagine

Oh to be able to keep our child-like wonder. We begin early wanting to hurry to grow up then when we do we don't like being grown up! Everyone should have a child in their life to help them remember what it's like. To see things through their eyes!


After creating a 2 page layout to display in the store I made another 2 page layout for Remi's book of that same event. It's pretty simple but I actually like it that way. At least the pictures are down and I journaled. I used American Crafts "My Girl" for this layout.

These pics were taken 2 years ago in August when Remi was allowed to visit us in Texas. It was 100 degrees that day but the girls didn't seem to mind! Thankfully most of the park was well shaded!

I created another two page layout last Saturday. More pictures from this same time. I'm trying to do pages for both Remi and Kennedy so when they are bigger they can each have their own scrapbook. 

Because I was crafting at home I pulled out paper from my stash. This is Echo Park's "Playground" collection from a couple of years ago.

Have you ever created a layout and just weren't all that thrilled with it? Well, I have. I think this is the first time I ever done this but I had a 2 page layout I had made from this same set of pictures a year ago.  Every time I saw it I would say to myself "I really don't like this". Well, the other night I tore the layout completely apart and recreated it. I used the same design but different papers. I am much happier with my results.

These pictures are the same as those above. These pages will go in Kennedy's book. The paper I used for this layout is Bo Bunny "Ad Lib".

Now to get busy on pages for Kashton!
It's WOW Wednesday at Cat's Creations. Be sure to leave me a comment.  A prize is given away to a random participant or commenter.

We've had a couple of extremely unusual cool days for July and some MUCH needed rain. It is moving out of our area although we got about another half inch today. Tuesday night I enjoyed watching the clouds. They made for a very pretty sky!

 Looking to the Northeast. The clouds were moving our direction but either went around or dissipated before they got to us :(

The sun was hid behind the clouds. If you look REAL close you can barely make out the Baker Hotel on the right side of the picture on the horizon.

Have a good one!
