Love Life Together

via digishoptalk.com

Another page for my letters album... this one is using the prompt- send love and of course, I was sending my love to Eric! By the way, just in case you didn't know-- Sara and Crystal host these prompts on each of their blogs and everyone is more than welcome to play along or work at your own pace-- which is what I've done!

And, ... and this excites me... it made GSO at DST today!!!

I Won't let Go

I am absolutely in love with this song by Rascal Flatts-- I won't let go! You can find the music video here.
This page is for the Grow With Love: February Letters edition. It's Day#5- Get Inspired with Musical Lyrics.

Wow!! This page made GSO at DST. I'm always floored when that happens with my pages!

Hindsight

via digishoptalk.com

This was a very tough page for me. It's one that I needed to do, because it's something that I think about every single day. I actually started it weeks ago, I just had a hard time with the journaling. I wanted to be truthful and honest with myself and sometimes that is very hard to do.
This was for Day3 of the January Letters from the Grow with Love series by Sara and Crystal

This page made GSO at Me So Scrappy! It's always shocking!

Dream Big and the Song Album

New Project!!! 

Yes, yes... another project!! It's no secret that I'm in love with music. I can't stand the quiet, so no matter what I'm doing, you can probably bet that I'm listening to music. I can truly say I love all types... with the exception of most rap... just not my thing. Sometimes I'll hear a song, and think... hmm this is what I want Rylee to know. Well, by the time she starts listening to music, the songs I love will be long put away on the back of the shelf somewhere, so what better way to save them, than to put them in an album. I orignally saw this idea at DST like sometime last year. Sara (Zinnias & Swallowtails) did an Lyric album for her daughter and I think it's such a great idea. So, yes, of course, I stole it!! Still need to come up with a name but this will be a forever on going album so that's no biggy right now.

Now, I bet you are wondering why in the world am I doing so many projects at one time. Truth is, I have a hard time doing one thing at a time and this is true with everything in my life. Sometimes, I get stuck working an album or I'm in the mood for something different, and with more than one project in the works, I'll have a turning point... a direction to look to. Album ideas are endless, and I'm kinda ocd that I prefer themed albums with organization not just a mix of pages thrown into a book, which is good and bad I guess. Order is nice, but it can be complicated, and mean I never get stuff printed.

So... here is a page for Rylee's Lyric Album. I originally heard this song on American Idol, sung by David Cook. When I went to search for the original singer it was impossible. Then I searched a little deeper and realized this song was written for that season of Idol. But I feel in love, it has such a great meaning.

R.Y.L.E.E.

Well, this is page #3 in Rylee's book! I fiddled with this page for two days until I was finally satisfied with the outcome! I used a template from Grow with Love: Kids by Sara Gleason and Crystal Livesay and it's
Prompt #3: Word Play.

The goal was to create a page using the letters in your child's name to describe them... an acrostic. The lists below each circle was an afterthought because I realized with the elements and papers, it was really hard to see the actual words.

WOW!! This page got me the first ever GSO on the Gallery Standouts Blog!

Free to be Me

via mesoscrappy.com

Wow! This layout feel together easily. Love this kit, and this prompt from Sara and Crystal is a great one. I got to explore me, in a positive light instead of always seeing the bad! The lyrics around the actual journaling is from a song by Francesca Battistelli "Free to be Me"! LOVE that song, Love most of her stuff! At the top of the journaling paragraph is the chorus from the song, then my journaling:
No matter how old I get, I never feel quite good enough. I tend to be a pessimistic person anyway, but I always feel inadequte. But you know what, Life is not about the have nots but about the haves. I am blessed. I am a good person. I am a Christian. I am faithful. I am loving, caring, considerate, compassionate, and occasionally OCD person. I am loved. I am blessed.

This page my GSO at Me So Scrappy on Thursday!! Everytime I see my page get recognized it shocks me!! I'm like.. "wow, they liked little ole me"

Snow Pants

Journaling:
After the numerous snow storms last year, we decided it'd be a good idea to be prepared this year. These cute bright pink snow bibs were a Christmas present from Grandma and they couldn't be more perfect!! The timing was great too since we got a little over an inch on Christmas night. Now I just hope to see more snow accumulation like last year. Photo taken- 12/26/10
