a face full of happy

Another one with my Allyscraps.com goodies! The paper line is Dream Street Delight.

Journaling:
Ryan, sometimes you just seem to glow with happiness! How can anyone look at you and not smile, too?

{determination} is half the battle

I'm so thrilled to be a Guest Design Team member at Allyscraps for the month of September! This is my first layout with the awesome products available there, and featuring patterned paper from the new Basic Grey release, Mellow.

What a difference one year makes. Just a year ago, you still seemed like a mere toddler. Now, you are clearly, a little boy. And so determined that you can do anything you set your mind to – no matter how much it scares your mother to watch you do it.

Here are some fun cards I made with the Scrapdango kit!

melting away in the summer heat

Another one with that great Scrapdango September kit!

That Chuck, the ice cream man… he’s no dummy! He knows exactly where to find his target market, doesn’t he? A hot, sunny day. The Buena Vista pool. You can count on the fact that, early afternoon or so, you will hear the familiar song from the truck as Chuck turns the corner and pulls up to the fence. Then, stand back and stay out of the way – it’s like a herd of wild buffalo as the kids all race to the window to order their favorite frozen goodie! Ryan and Tyler usually stick with the rainbow popsicles – can’t go wrong with that. A hot day, the neighborhood pool, and the ice cream man. A little slice of Americana, if there ever was one! 6.29.07

This is from the fun September spice kit at Scrapdango!

Can it really be true, my baby is four years old? This was your first big party with your own friends, and what fun you all had! You were so excited to celebrate at Kid Company, and there weren’t very many people there, so it was almost like we had the whole place to ourselves! July 3, 2007

Here is the sketch!
