Disney Dec 2018 Album (Video)

Hi!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend! Yesterday, I finished the Sn@p! pocket page album I mentioned in my previous posts.  It's a Disney mini album, you can find a flip through video at the end of this post.  I bought those papers, binder and embellishments a few month ago and leaved them near my working table.  I planned on doing at least a few pages per week, but the truth is I never touched it until two weeks ago, when I decided to started working on it until  finish.  Before starting the album, I made a selection of the photos I liked from our trip to Disney in December 2018 when we visited Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.  Before ordering the prints, I resized the photos to  3" x 4", 4" x 6" and others to 3 1/2" x 5".  Those are the sizes I often use when doing scrapbook, either for layouts or mini albums.


Grad 2017 Layout

Hi!

Hope you're having a wonderful day!  It's almost Christmas, I'm very happy for that, I love Christmas day!  Today I want to share a layout I made a few months ago for my first daughter, when she graduated from sixth grade in 2017.  This is a simple but elegant and beautiful layout.  It was published in the Fall issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine.


What a Magial Moment Layout

Hi!

Hope you're having a wonderful day!  I'm back this week with another Disney related layout.  This is the second page I made this week using Paper Phenomenon Remember the Magic collection.  I'm so happy that I'm finally having more time to scrapbook!!  As mentioned in my previous post, this collection is gorgeous!  Every Disney lover/fan needs it.  All the papers are pretty with amazing designs, they're thick and with a glossy finish, which makes them real high quality.  

Love This Life Layout

Hi!

How are you?  Hope you are doing great!  I'm doing well, a little bit tired after a lot of home improvements. I couldn't wait to do the landscape of the front yard, so last week I did it completely with the help of my stepfather. It was a lot of hard work but I'm very happy with the result.  Yesterday I took some me time to do scrapbook.  Recently a local store had a Black Friday sale and I bought the gorgeous Remember the Magic collection from Paper Phenomenon (Kathy King).  I have a few of her collections and they are great, but this one is my favorite. I had to buy two packs because I couldn't decide which side of some papers I would use and the cut out papers are so pretty that I needed two sheets to cut them apart and to use the backside of the paper too.

Sisters, Besties for Life Layout

Hi!

Hope you are having a great day!  Finally December starts today, my favorite month of the year!  I'm doing great, we finished the home painting and now we're doing some landscaping in the front yard, but this is going to take a few weeks, doing a little bit every day during this month, no rush. This means I'll be having more scrapbook time, yeah!!! Today I woke up pretty early (3 am) and made this layout I'm sharing about my daughters. 

Capture Family Moments Layout

Hi!

Hope you are having a great day!  Today I want to share a with you a layout I made using a photo from one of our Disney trips.  I have tons of photos from our vacations at Disney. It is our favorite destination, and even though we have visited it a few times, it always is full of magic. Watching our daughters enjoy the experience makes our hearts as parents so happy!  In 2018 we decided to visit Disney and escape a little from the reality we were all living in Puerto Rico after Hurricane María hit the Island.  It was a last moment trip, not much planning, just go there, have fun and enjoy the moment. 


You Are Special Layout

Hi!

A few days ago I was organizing some printed photos I have and found those beautiful photos of my baby and decided they are going to be in my next layout, so here I'm with the layout.  Today's page features those three photos of my baby in which she is posing for the camera, something that is not common but when happens I take advantage of it.  I used the Cocoa Vanilla Unforgettable collection to create this layout because the colors of the photos works perfectly with it and it was near my crafting table because I used it in previous layouts and I want to make a few more projects with it, until it's done.

Magical Day Layout

Hi!

Hope you are having a great day! I'm preparing my home for Christmas, here in Puerto Rico we decorate in November so I'm doing a major cleaning before the decorations, today I finished cleaning the kitchen's cabinets and now I'm taking some time to share this layout with the new Simple Stories Say Cheese Christmas collection.  Maybe you already noticed I'm a fan of some companies like Simple Stories and also a huge fan of Disney and I can't hide it, lol.  I ordered this collection immediately it was available.  I love how versatile it is, it can be used for Disney during the Holiday Season but also for Christmas projects about kids or just a happy and colorful Christmas.

Baby Boy Mini Album Video

Hi!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!  In the past days I've been working on some projects that are not the ones I usually work with.  I finished crocheting the edge of a blanket for my daughter, added photos to a Disney Mini Album from a class I bought at a local store around two years ago and made this baby boy mini album.  Since I have two daughters, I'm usually working girly projects with flowers, butterflies and lots of pink but this time I had to do a boy project, it was a little hard because it is not what I'm often doing, but I like the result.  A flip through video of the album is available so you can see all the details and how cute this album is, so you can check it out after the photos.


Family is Everything Layout

Hi!

For me, family is everything, they are my motor and the reason I wake up everyday trying to be a better person, to be a good example for my daughters.  This is why I fell in love with this collection Garden Harvest by Jillibean Soup.  The messages in it, the colors, flowers, butterflies and everything is perfect for pictures and projects of the people I love the most, my family!  So when I saw the fall call of Scrapbook and Cards Magazine about being blessed, I submitted this layout and they chose and published it.  I was pretty happy about it!  You can check the magazine online for free, it's a great source of inspiration!

Heart Eyes Layout

Hi!

Hope your having a wonderful day!  Here I'm again with a layout I finished this week, using the Unforgettable collection by Cocoa Vanilla.  As I mentioned before, I'm in love with this collection, I love everything about it, the colors, the flowers, the butterflies and the free cut files they released with it.  This collection is so gorgeous that I want to make more and more layouts with it, so hopefully, I'll be making more layouts soon and sharing them with you!



Stories Layout

Hi!

This week I'm sharing a layout I started a few days ago but it wasn't until yesterday that I had some time to finish it.  It is titled "Stories" and I made it with the amazingly beautiful collection Unforgettable from Cocoa Vanilla.  This is the second layout I make with this collection, I have another in process and I'm planing on making more layouts with it until is finished, so stay tune for more upcoming layouts, with flowers, butterflies and pretty girly colors.

Little Moments Captured Layout

Hi!

How are you doing?  I hope you're having a great day! Last week I received the amazing Unforgettable collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio.  This is my first time working with those products, since they are from Australia and I can't find them in the local stores in Puerto Rico.  Because of that, I ordered them as soon as they were available in an online shop from the US. I to have the opportunity to order some of the embellishments, especially the die cuts, before they were sold out and I did it!  A few months ago I was trying to buy their previous collection but I couldn't find any online store in US that had all the papers, die cuts and other embellishments available, so I never bought it.  I was really excited and anxiously waiting for them, and I can tell you, they are so pretty. Those colors make me happy and the designs are really beautiful.  Instantly I was inspired to create some pages using them. This is the first one, but I like it so much that I'm working on other layouts using it.

Joy (Christmas Eve) Layout

Hi

Hope you're doing wonderfully!  Today I'm sharing the second layout I recently made but haven't shared. It's about Christmas Eve, I love those photos of my daughters, together, leaving cookies and milk for Santa under the tree.

For this layout, I used Simple Stories Merry & Bright collection patterned papers, diecuts and stickers.  Those papers are from last year, it's a beautiful Christmas collection with great details and colors.  A few months ago, I made a layout using this collection and the same background paper, I love it so much, I bought two sheets.



Noel Christmas Card

Hi!

How are you?  I'm back again, as mentioned in my previous post, with a Christmas card I made using an additional shaker ornament I made while creating the "Our First Christmas Together" layout.  I didn't want to throw the ornament away, so I decided to create a quick card with it.


Our First Christmas Together Layout

Hi!

It's been a while since my last post, sorry about that, sometimes it isn't easy for me to photograph my projects and update social media, especially the blog.  I haven't posted anything, but I've created two layouts and a card that I photographed today to share them.  This post is about a layout I made to remember the first Christmas with my baby girl.

To create this layout I used patterned papers from Echo Park Paper I Love Christmas collection, Simple Stories Merry & Bright collection and Crate Paper Santa's Workshop collection.  To embellish it, I used cut files, stickers and made some shakers. Check all the details below!

14 (You Glow Girl) Layout

Hello!

Have you seen the Oh Happy Day! collection from Simple Stories?   I'm in love with this collection, it have a lot of designs that are so pretty, like flowers, llamas, cactus, rainbows, hearts and all kind of girl stuff.  Aside the beautiful and happy colors it have.   For me it was love at first sight, because pretty paper makes me happy! I bought this collection a few months ago, but it wasn't until this week that I can finally took some time to play with it and to create a layout about my daughter's 14th birthday.


The Good Stuff Layout

Hi!

I'm from Puerto Rico and here we have a food called "bacalaíto", which is something very typical that characterize us.  It's a fritter made with all purpose flour,  cubanelle pepper, olives, fresh "cilantrillo"and "recao", salt, and cod fish.  Last year my mom made a mix for "bacalaítos" and gave me some.  Some days later, I fryed them and gave one to my baby, it was her first time eating "bacalaítos" and she was enjoying it so much that I took a photo of her.  This layout is about that moment, where she was so happy and cute that I want to preserve this memory with a layout.

Unicorn Fashionista Layout and Shaker Video Tutorial

Hi!

It's been a few weeks since my last post, hope you're doing great!  I've been busy at home all summer, this is the reason I haven't done much scrapbook.  Today I'm back with a layout I made for my baby girl.  I started it a few weeks ago, with the title, doing the shaker and chain stitching, for which I prepared a video tutorial and my teen daughter edited it.  You can find the video at the end of this post.


This Little Turkey is so Loved Layout

Hi!

In Thanksgiving Day I'm always so busy cooking and preparing everything, that I can barely take photos.  Last year my sister bought this "turkey" clothes for my baby and I took a few pictures of her wearing it.  She looked so pretty, I'm glad I took those pictures.  Today I had some time and make this page using a sketch from Page Map in the Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine website, in the Fall submission call.  I didn't submit it because the call ended in June 30, so I'm late, lol.


Back to School Layout

Hi!

Every year, the first day of school, I take photos of my daughter.  Since now she is a teenager, I can only take photos of her at home.  For this layout, I used photos from last year, 2018.  I wanted the layout to look with the school vibe, but not to look childish, I think I accomplished it with this cut file and papers.


Girl Power Layout

Hi!


My daughter recently started playing softball and she love it!  She's enjoying the all the process, from learning all about softball, knowing new girls to the importance of team work and how our decisions and actions affects others which for me is the most important lesson.  As you can see in the photos, her uniform is orange so I went into my paper stash to find a collection that worked for the theme and colors and choose some Vicki Boutin papers and embellishments.



Travel Layout


Hi!

Hope you're doing great!  As I mentioned in my previous post this week I'll be posting other layouts I haven't share.  This one was made a few weeks ago too, using the My Mind's Eye Splendor collection.  I really enjoyed playing and creating with this beautiful collection, those colors and the flowers, makes me happy. 


Happy Days Layout


Hi!

A few weeks ago I made this double layout.  I was inspired by the beautiful papers from My Mind's Eye Splendor collection.  I love everything about this collection, the color palette is amazing, so girly, shabby chic, romantic, elegant and versatile, making it perfect for a lot of projects.  Since I couldn't chose one or two papers to work with, I used practically all of them to create this layout.

Disney Magic Layout

Hi!

My family and I are Disney fans so I love to buy scrapbook products I can use to document our visits to the parks like the Say Cheese collections from Simple Stories.  I love those collections, they are pretty and have lots of embellishments, so when they released Say Cheese 4, I bought it too because those kiddos in the collection are so cute, they are a must have for all Disney fans!  I have tons of photos that I haven't scrapbook from our trips to the magical place because for some reason I shop faster than I create, lol. 


Good Times Layout

Hi!

How are you?  Hope you are doing great!  I've been a little sick for the past four weeks with a severe cough and finally this week I'm doing and feeling better.  Today I'm really happy for two reasons, the first, is because I'll be back at teaching! Today I'll be teaching in the scrapbook retreat by the local store Pega, Papel y Tijeras en AEIOU at Rincón, Puerto Rico.  This is not my first time teaching, but it's been almost five years since I closed Scrapper's Place and tought my last class.  But now I'm back at scrapbooking and ready to share my knowledge and art with others!

The second reason is because one of my layouts was featured in the Summer 2019 issue of the Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine and  it's digitally release today!  Recently, a friend encourage me to submit my work to the magazine and I did it.  This was the first time I submit one of my layout to a magazine call and was thrilled when they contacted me because they liked it and wanted to publish it.  My layout is title Good Times and is featured in page 29, under the Page Maps section.




Unicorn Day Layout

Hi!

Last week I started this layout of my baby girl and today I had the opportunity to finished it, yeah!!!!.   With her, every day is an adventure.  She is full of energy and with a very developed personality.  Every day she dress up at least one time, some days she is a mermaid, others she is a princess but that day she was a unicorn from head to toes (head band, shirt, bag and boots).  She always choose her clothes and dress by herself and it is something that she really enjoys and has lots of fun doing and I love to photograph her to always remember these beautiful toddler days.  


Love Bug Layout

Hi!

A few weeks ago, I started this layout but left it to find the photo and decided in which size I would be using it.  Well, things happened and yesterday I printed the photo and finished it.  Those papers are stunning, full of beautiful details that make them look so real and gives a dimensional look.  In a previous layout I used the same paper but fuzzy cut it, this time I'm using it whole as a background for the page and added a diamond frame cut file from Handipaper.


Oh Baby Girl Layout And Process Video

Hi!

Hope you are doing great!  I was a little busy with the end of school, dental appointments, cleaning closets and windows, birthdays, sleepover of my daughter, school party, etc, but now I'm back and with my first layout process video, yeah! I'm really happy to share it with you!!! Today I'm sharing a layout I made of my baby.  I was inspired by this beautiful fox cut file from Handipaper, I fell in love with it, it's so cute!  So I started searching for photos I could use and found this one of my baby who was wearing a onesis with a fox on it, so I backed it in similar colors..


Darling Girl Layout

Hi!

Recently, I found these lovely papers from Mintay by Karola in a local scrapbook store (Scrapbook Treasure in Moca, Puerto Rico).  The papers are amazing, they are from Poland.  The designs are so pretty, the colors are beautiful and the paper is very thick, just perfection!  I bought some of the collections available in the store because I couldn't resist them.  To create this layout, I used the Lovely Day collection.  It is full of flowers so I bought two sheets of some of the papers to fuzzy one and use it as embellishments and the other, maybe, as a background.


Say Cheese Layout

Hi!

Today I'm sharing a layout I made last week from our visit to Epcot last year.  Since my family and I love to vacation in Disney, I can say it's our favorite vacation spot, I have lots and lots of photos I want to scrap, so this is the best excuse to buy products related to this magical place like the Say Cheese 4 collection from Simple Stories.  This collection is amazing, I love the cute kids and everything about it. 


Baby Mini Album (Mr Benjamin)

Hi!

Almost three years ago I made this Mr Benjamin mini album from Paper Phenomenon and mated it using an old paper collection from Simple Stories.  The photos are from her first 2.5 months, I know, I love to photograph everything, I took lots of photos, is something I can't control, lol.

Since this album is so big and heavy, I made a flip through video to show it easily, you can find it below.  It holds approximately 135 photos.  If I make this album again, surely I will make it with only 3-4 pages instead of the 6 pages I used in this one to make it less bulk.


Disney 2018 Layout

Hi!


As many of you know, I'm a fan of Disney and of course, all scrapbooking products that can be used for those magical photos!  Recently, a few new collections were released and I wanted to scrapbook with them, this is why today I'm sharing a layout I finished yesterday to use as my album cover (first page) for our 2018 trips.




First ER Visit Layout

Hello!

A few weeks ago, I bought the beautiful papers from Photo Play Under the Weather collection.  They look childish and are perfect to document the hard and sad moments of having a kid not feeling well, but in a colorful way.  Since I never scrapbook those moments, I decided to buy them and scrapbook some of those hard moments in the life of my daughters and in our life as parents, because the truth is, not all days are happy, sometimes we have to overcome hard situations.   But I believe those moments helps us be grateful for all the blessings we have.

This layout is about the first time we had to take our baby daughter to the Emergency Room.  She was dehydrated because of some virus. We were in the ER more than 30 hours but at the end she leaves feeling well and full of energy.

Thankful Layout


Hi!
Today’s layout is about my family, my biggest blessing.  Having my husband at my side every day, having time to talk, to make plans plans, sharing and enjoying our daughters is a big blessing for me, one I’m really thankful for.  But also, for having two daughters that are healthy, intelligent, happy and more.  I know I'm super blessed and I'm thankful to God for all, because everything I have is for his grace and love. 

Life's Little Mishaps



Hi!

Today I’m sharing a layout I made for the saddest day of our life’s as parents.  Our daughter was sick at midnight and we took her to the ER, there, the doctor did some blood tests and never came back because he had a stroke (thankfully he survived and is doing great).  At 6 am some doctors came to the pediatric ER in the hospital and started attending other patients with worst situation, my daughter appeared to be having a vomiting virus and that was not a rush like other cases in the ER.  Finally, a doctor came to us because she recognized our daughter from school.  She was not supposed to attend her, it was another doctor who have her record, but she asked for permission and started attending her.  To make the long story short, she ordered a CT Scan not matter everything was pointing to be a virus.  The CT Scan was not made immediately because our daughter was vomiting the contrast she needed in order for the radiologist to perform the study.  At the end, the test was done around 12pm and at 3pm, the doctor's shift ended, but she called the radiologist to his personal phone because she needed that result before leaving, and he asked for a few minutes to read the results.  That was something she doesn't have to do, but she wanted to do it before leaving.  He called her back and told her our daughter needed  and emergency surgery because she was having an appendicitis and it was already suppurating, which means it was pretty rush.  The doctor stay in the hospital, and gave us the bad news and call the director of surgery of the hospital to his personal phone.  He was in the road but told her to prepare everything because he was going to arrived in 15 minutes.  Everything happened so fast, people started coming to us with papers to be sign, then we were moved to the surgery floor, I changed her clothes for the surgery ones and  then they asked us to say goodbye to her while they took her to the surgery.  We were in shock, we didn't have time to think, just to trust God and asked for him to be with her all the time and be the surgeon.  Everything went perfectly, the doctor told us a few more minutes would have been a disaster because of the suppuration.  We are really thankful to the ER doctor.  Our daughter was not having the common symptoms of appendicitis because hers was inverse, this was the reason why she was only having vomits and a little fever.  The doctor said, something told her to do the CT Scan no matter it was looking like a virus, and she follow her guts and faith.  Now, we think about all that and understand God’s purpose.  Maybe if another doctor have taken her case, she would have been released with medicine for a virus and the end would have not been the same.  Sometimes we don’t understand why things happen but we must trust God because He always have a reason.
To create this layout I used the PhotoPlay Under the Weather papers and die cuts. This is a very bright, colorful and cute collection.  I like it because no matter this was a very hard situation for us as parents, the end was a happy one and I don’t want to remember it with sadness but with gratitude.  She is now with us thanks to that surgery and she is healthy and enjoying life. 

Magical Day Layout



Hi!
Today I’m sharing a Harry Potter's layout I made for my daughter. I already made her a mini album that I shared before (you can see it here), about this experience but since I still got some printed pictures and papers, I decided to make this page.  During her 13th birthday we went on vacation to Orlando, Florida.  It was a trip decided at last moment with the idea of surprising her with a visit to Universal Studios so she could enjoy the Harry Potter area because she loves it.  In the summer of 2016, she started reading the books, since that moment she has read all of them like three times and she is always looking for some Harry Potter info on the internet.  We knew that taking her there would be a great surprise and it was.  We gave her the two days tickets to Universal once we were in Florida, she was thrilled!


Cutie Pie Layout


Hi!

Hope you are having a great day!  Today I'm sharing a layout I started yesterday with the mixed media, but leaved it overnight to dry and today finish it  Is about my baby daughter who loves to wear dresses but not so much hats or anything in her hair.  When she is wearing a hat or something, I take photos fast because those moments don't last long, that's what the journaling tells.  

This layout looks very busy because of the mixed media and butterflies, but the truth is, it is very fast, easy and made with only a few papers.  To create this layout I used the Our House Collection by Carta Bella.  The colors of this collection inspired me, they are very girly no matter the main theme of the collection is for the home (cooking, baking and gardening) stuff.  But since it also have some flowers, butterflies, lines and papers that can be use for other themes, I bought all the papers from the collection to create some projects.




Chillin Layout


Hi!

I’m from Puerto Rico, a beautiful island in the Caribbean.  Living here is a blessing, all year is summer, everywhere is a beach and the people is always happy and having fun.  We can say we live in Paradise!  It is very normal to us to go to the beach or just pass by it and enjoy the beautiful view and tropical weather all year long.  

These were some photos we took with our phones in August 2018, we were at home and decided to go to the beach area to see the water and enjoy the beautiful view.  In our way, we found a nice man that sell coconuts full of sweet water and we stopped to purchase some.  We enjoyed our coconuts and since we were out of the car, we decided to walk in the beach and took some photos.  We were not dressed in beach cloths, but that didn't stop us, we just enjoy the moment and the blessing of living here.

Beautiful (Mary Poppins) Layout

Hi!

This has been a busy week, but finally yesterday I had some time for me, so I took it to create this layout I'm sharing today. It's about Mary Poppins, my all time favorite character from Disney! Every time we visit the parks I try to find her for my daughters' autograph book and to take some photos  with her. 

Immediately after seen the beautiful umbrella cut file from The Cut Shoppe I knew I was going to use it for a Mary Poppins layout with the Practically Perfect collection kit from Carta Bella that I had since it was released last year.  I love the result, is a clean, simple and elegant layout that represents pretty well the character of Mary Poppins.



Kennedy Space Center Mini Album

Hello!

In 2016 we went to the Kennedy Space Center, it was an amazing experience.  Since we love science and all that stuff, having the opportunity of seeing the shuttles, equipment and all that information available there was a dream come true.  There is so much things to see, learn and explore that we couldn't see all, so we need to plan a new trip there, especially me, because I was pregnant at that moment and don't knew, so I was pretty sleepy all day, lol.

To remember this great experience I created a mini album, using the Gatefold XL Mini Album tutorial by Frances Long from Your Book of Memories.  You can see a flip through video of my mini not so mini album at the end of this post. 



Love You Forever Layout

Hi!
Last month I started working with this beautiful collection from Echo Park called You & Me.  Since this is a small collection, I fuzzy cut some designs from the papers to embellish the page.  I still have a few big pieces of paper and some stickers from the kit to create at least one more layout and maybe a few cards, let's see when I use it again, I'll be leaving it near my desk to use it soon. 



This layout is for my daughters, my biggest blessing, my biggest love.  I used photos of them of September 2018, when a friend of my husband did a photo shooting to us for our baby's second birthday and he took some photos of them together.  The light that day was not the best so the photos turned a little dark and greenish, I need to fix them a little but I already have all of them printed in 4"x6", I couldn't resist having them printed, now I need to use them.  This is why they look so bright.
As mentioned before, papers and stickers are from Echo Park You & Me collection kit.  The flowers and title were fuzzy cut from the papers.  Is a very simple and easy design, I made it pretty fast with a few pieces of papers and stickers only from the kit. 

Love Ya Layout

Hi!

A few month ago I bought my Silhouette Cameo 3 and immediately I started to cut some files, and the one in this layout is one of them.  I just cut them (still have others cut and ready to be backed) to test the machine without knowing what I'll was going to do with them but since I don't want to trough them away, I'll be using them.  This one was too big for, it would have been better to have it a little smaller, but I managed to use it the best way I can.

This photo was from 2016, I was 6 or 7 months pregnant and I was celebrating my 38th birthday.  My husband took this beautiful photo of me and our daughter at the beach.  Those days she always used flowers' headbands made by me and the one in the photo inspired me to use this beautiful papers from Pebbles My Bright Life collection by Jen Hadfield.



Darling Layout

Hello!

I began scrapbooking in 2004, at that time there were not so many tools and products available like now, so one of the techniques I used to do a lot was paper piecing, specially for cards.  I remember doing a card for some family members where I created a very cute doll, also some layouts.  A few years later die cutting machines came available and I continued to do paper piecing but with the electronic die cutters, which makes them easier.  Recently, I found Lisa Fonseca, who is a very talented woman, she creates cute paper piecing designs for her projects and she is amazing.  After seeing her work I remembered those days when I started and decided I should do some hand paper piecing again, and here is the result.


Merry Christmas Layout

Hi

Happy Friday!  Hope you are having a great day!  Today I'm sharing a layout I made using some family pictures we took the night before Christmas, after the girls leave some cookies and milk for Santa.  As I have mentioned before, you never know what is going to happen when our baby is part of the photo, she was decided to not smile for the camera, so those are the results, lol.  Anyway, I like the photos, they are cute and reflect our personalities and are perfect for these beautiful papers.



Love You Layout

Hi!

Happy Valentine's Day!  I'm back today with another layout to celebrate love.  This time is about the love between my husband and our daughters.  As you can see in the pictures they do what they want with him, I love those pictures.  While our biggest daughter have always love to be photograph and cooperates, our baby is different, she is not predictable when I'm trying to photograph her.  Sometimes she cooperates and look to the camera, but the majority of the time she do funny poses, close her eyes when you tell her to look, and start to dance and do funny things like in those photos where she was pulling her dad's hair and having fun while enjoying the moment.  For me those are the perfect moments to be capture capture, real life, those memories that you are going to remember and laugh and when you see the photo you are going to revive this instant of life.
