Smile Sunshine

So, right now I am in "if I scrapbook summer photos, I will feel warmer," mode. For the record, it isn't working. What is working is using some of my favorite collections to make layouts! I found this Paper Camellia sketch and loved the look of it. I decided to give it a go using Pink Paislee's Hey Kid collection.


I changed up some parts of it, but I loved the sections of three running vertically down the page. While I didn't have quite the right sized photos for the sketch, I used what I had and recorded a memory!


It was such a warm and sunny day when we attended Polka Days this past summer (in memory of my Grandpa and his love of polka music). We had so many members of our family join us. It was a fun day for all!


And, I couldn't create a "polka" layout without some polkadots now could I? I loved this cute little bow above the ticket! 

My daughter and I are PROS at selfies. Having a teenaged daughter gets you really good at things that you normally wouldn't expect to be good at...words to Taylor Swift songs for one. (I'm a fan, not gonna lie!) And, a cute little niece wearing sunglasses is just too good NOT to scrapbook as well! It was a great day! Glad to have the memory documented! 

Just for fun...What are some things that you've become good at that you never would have expected due to kids or circumstances?  

Thanks for stopping by!

Mid-Week Mojo

It has been a while since I have participated in the Mid-Week Mojo over at Scrapbook Steals! I am happy that I had the time this week! I loved this collection from Bella Blvd. called "Sprinkles" and decided to use it this week.


The sketch by Brenda Smith was awesome and I loved her layout as well. I used her black and white paper idea when I was creating this layout. (Click >here< to see her awesome layout!)


I loved all of the bits and pieces that came with this collection, so it was fun to incorporate them into the layout as well.


This layout totally reflects how much fun I had in Salt Lake City this past September. I seriously laugh so much in those few days we all get together. Always a wonderful time! 

Thanks for stopping by today! Hoping to have more for you soon!
