She Has Grown Up So Fast

I still can't believe that Rachel is a senior in high school this year. I will always remember the wonderful day that she was born. It was actually on Super Bowl Sunday. I went into labor during the National Anthem. She arrived in the world by the first quarter. And she was a whopping 9 pounds. Labor and delivery were very eventful for sure!!!

I used the fun sketch at Let's Get Sketchy. Ashley designed this sketch. I loved playing along with this one.

I'm also playing along in the My Mind's Eye September challenge. They are one of my fave manufacturers.

Here's a close-up of the title. I cut it using the Silhouette while at Vera's house this weekend. We had a fun scrappy day. :)

Have a Happy Monday!!!

Say Hello to the Selfie

I was looking through family scrapbook albums and only found a couple of photos of myself in there. What???????

I am a part of the family? I think I deserve a page, or two, or three...right? (smile)

To solve this problem, I've started taking "selfies" of myself at least once of month. I hate taking photos. I'm usually the one behind the camera getting shots of everyone else. I think I can handle this as long as I create fun pages with the pictures.

 
I used a variety of fun products. The background paper and photo frame is from Basic Grey. I also used a lot of chipboard from My Mind's Eye.

I even typed up a bit of journaling. I'm trying to add more of it to my pages.

I did a lot of layering too. I think it makes the photo stand out more on the page. 

Glitter thickers were a must on this page too. It makes the title pop off the page.

I'm entering this one into the Frosted Designs chipboard challenge and the Let's Get Sketchy week 3 challenge.
