I'm sure I will do more soon, but these are officially the last ones (#33 & #34) I will complete before reporting to work Monday morning. This first page is for the Challenge blog on my favorite links list. I had wanted to scrapbook these pics because I think Griffin's expressions are soo cute. He sure makes some wild faces! Can you have an argument with a 12 month -old? Evidently!!! We were definitely NOT seeing eye-to-eye as I was trying to feed him. I had wanted to do the word search idea for a long time also. I'm not sure I would have thought the "argument" approach, but I like how it turned out, so that was a neat idea.
This next page has soooo much meaning. My Great Aunt Iney was a very important extended family member. She never had children, so my mom and aunt spent many summers with her, as well as my sister and I. She was in a nursing home and just barely got to meet Koen before she died. It is very sad that Mel's boys will never know her and what a wonderful person she was. He was only two months old in this pic, so Iney was his Great-Great Aunt. The pic is just so precious to me because it shows the hands of three generations. I was going to title it Loving Hands, but as my sister said, "The love is implied."
Well, time to take the dogs and go for a run. It has cooled off a little, so I am going to take advantage of it. Tobin went kayaking with his best friend for the evening. Tomorrow, I need to go get my textbook for this school year. I have simply got to figure out what the heck I am teaching this coming Thursday. I can't believe I have put it off this long and it is beginning to stress me out!
hey, you did the crossword idea! i was wondering which one of us would get to it first! :) you beat me. you also did several more layouts than I did. makes me 25 sound pitiful. i'm working on my last one for the summer right now. hopefully i will finish it before monday!
ReplyDeleteHey now...25 is not pitiful when you also have a child to take care of!! I had no excuse not to do more! No responsibilities!
ReplyDeleteLOVE both layouts. The story about the Iney one made me cry of course. So you decided not to move "hands" further up on the page? I think it looks great!
ReplyDeletei found some snowflake stickers. they are kind of small though, but i'm hoping they will work for you. i figured i would have millions, but i guess i used them all up! :) i also grabbed some rock and mulch stickers and journaling blocks...looked outdoorsy to me...thought you might want them. i won't use them.
ReplyDeleteYou can totally agrue with a 12 month old!! Love this!!
ReplyDeleteLove your word search idea:) I also really think that second layout is beautiful! What a sweet picture, and I really like how you did the heart!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch, Amy! That means a lot since the page content itself is so special to me. The heart was a good way to use up patterned scraps! I bet it would work for cards too!
ReplyDeleteBoth layouts are great!!! I love the crossword, very cool idea!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Allison!
ReplyDeleteYou're nephew is adorable. Your layouts are always so nice!
