Have you missed my layouts? I haven’t forgotten my paper crafting hobby!
I am just sharing everything including my drawing and painting now. This layout is of
my sweet baby (I’m a BIG GIRL Mommy!). I caught a happy face on camera as she played out on the
deck last summer. She is wearing a dress, which is very much her, as she
requires dresses daily. It was just a great little moment captured from the summer, and I was excited to get to do a layout with my girly about some of her favorite summer things.
I used My Mind’s Eye for this layout, and there are
Stella and Rose, So Sophie, Lime Twist, and Kaleidoscope, and Life Stories elements!
Yes, I know Kaleidoscope is circa 2005ish? I adore the pink paper from that
collection. I bought way too many sheets back in the day, and I pull it out for
special occasions, like this layout.
I altered (colored in- but doesn't altered sound more sophisticated) the Life stories journaling box to
tie it into the layout using Prismacolor pencils. I also inked the edges of the
Kalediscope paper to tie it into the darker Stella and Rose floral.
Here is the sketch, in case you like the elements together. Let me know if you use it!

Of course, when you have a child that makes an "interesting" choice, it makes for a fun scrapbook page. I used a mix of My Mind's Eye for this layout. When I was looking at my past few layouts, I noticed I used a lot of rectangles in my layouts, so I challenged myself to use some circles. (Again, finding inspiration by providing limits).
