Briley is the life of the party. He is so fun to be around and always has something funny to say. Bri is also very kind and friendly. I babysat him for nearly a decade, and it has been so crazy to watch him go from a fiesty toddler to the amazing young man he is today. I have trillions of happy summer memories with this kid, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. Also, I got to go to Disneyland with him once, and it was pretty great.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share one of the simplest layouts I've ever done with you today.

The vellum from Webster's Pages Hall Pass collection was too pretty to cut up. I loved the colors so much and I wanted to show as much of it as possible! I adhered it to white cardstock, added my photo, and added coordinating buttons in the shape of a heart. I also watercolored a cut file in corresponding colors to use as my title. And that was it! There is a LOT going on color wise, but I'm totally okay with that :) Have a great day! 

To create this layout, I cut the Geometric Graffiti background from white cardstock. While it was still on the mat, I painted it with watercolors. Once it was try, I lifted up the negative space and used it as a stencil to place the watercolored triangles on another piece of white cardstock.

 I added my photo and embellishments, and the layout was done! I wanted to keep it pretty simple to focus on the fun background!

Thank you for letting me share my layout with you, and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Next in the lineup of cousins is Trent (brother to Tyler and Jacob).

Trent is truly kind, caring, funny, and genuine. His steadfast faith constantly challenges and inspires me. He is also extremely ambitious and dedicated!! He was valedictorian at his high school graduation last year, and is doing amazing at college. Despite being a busy college kid, he manages to read thought provoking books, be actively in church, and be a great friend. He and Michael have a lot of the same interests, and it warms my heart to see them together. I am so thankful for him and how much closer we've become in the past few years!

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen these layouts already. I've been using our family photos to scrapbook individual pictures of my cousins. They are five amazing people who I am so grateful for. The group of us are all pretty different, but I think we have fun together and get along really well! I'm the oldest, and after that is Tyler (brother to Trent and Jacob). I'll be sharing my layouts from oldest to youngest :)

As the next oldest, Tyler has been a huge part of my life since I was a wee one. He is one of the strongest and bravest people I know. Ty is extremely witty and fun to be around, but he is also incredibly encouraging and loves fiercely. It has been a privilege to watch him grow up into a successful and remarkable man. I love really love this guy and am so thankful for his presence in my life.

Hello! I've been having a lot of fun making layouts with pictures from our family photo shoot!

This layout is about three of my cousins, and it's primarialy using the Webster's Pages Hall Pass collection. I love that the colors are pretty gender neutral and so pretty! The background was created with a sheet of printed vellum, and I backed some of the "windows" with various patterns. I threw together some layers, and added lots of stars! It's a pretty simple layout, but I'm okay with that :)

PS: Have you checked out Ashley Horton's Youtube videos yet? This girl is AMAZINGLY talented, and she's started doing process videos!! I am so inspired by and in awe of what she creates, and it's so fun to take a peek into her thought process!

This layout is about a very adorable and very special little girl! 

Have a great day!

Happy Monday! I can't believe it's March already. WOW! I've been busy creating the past week, and I have lots of projects to share. The first one is this layout about Michael (big surprise :) ). 

I watercolored this cut file to use as the focal point of the page. I originally had planned on using it with the Teresa Collins Nine and Co. collection, but as I dug through my stash I wanted to use Carta Bella's Hello Again! I layered at things at an angle and added a few pops of gold, which I'm convinced matches with everything. I like the look of the angled layout, and will definitely be trying it again!

Supplies: Patterned Paper (Carta Bella), Embellishments (Maggie Holmes Open Book, Amy Tangerine Stitched, Carta Bella Hello Again, Evalicious, Studio Calico Essentials), Mist (Heidi Swapp)

Have a wonderful day! 

Here's a look into my life this past week!
