I decided to take a different route scrapping these photos of my son. I chose to journal about how much I miss things that have changed recently. Normally I would have scrapbooked how cute he is (well isn't he?!) or how sweet. While all that is still true, I miss some aspects of him. He's now going on 9 and while I love him, we've been having some tough struggles with school and his learning disabilities. I found myself wishing for the days when life seemed simpler, easier, and sweeter. I still have my sweet, loving child. We just have a whole lot of other complications happening that stress him and then stress me. I miss those days!
Supplies:
Instructions:
- Use the Pink Paislee Spring Fling Umbrella paper as a background. Cut a 10" x 9" piece from the Flower Beds paper . Ink the edges with the ColorBox ink.
- Then cut a 4 ½" x 10 ½" piece from the Bo Bunny Love Shack paper. Ink the edges and adhere over the Flower Bed paper.
- Next cut a 1 ½" x 11" strip from the Pink Paislee Tree House paper. Ink the edges with the ColorBox inks. Adhere to the layout. Add a wood cardstock sticker from the Pink Paislee Enchanting booklet. Use the Bo Bunny stapler to staple each end.
- Thread Double Dot ribbon through the Pink Paislee chipboard button. Adhere to the layout.
- Add your photos to the page. Mine were printed at a 3" x 4" size for the smaller and a 5" x 7" for the larger photo.
- To create the title sand a bit of the edge of a Pink Paislee chipboard element. Then add the alphabet stickers to create the title. Add a sticker from the Enchanting sticker booklet.
- Add the adorable tree chipboard piece, after inking the edges with a light green ink. Adhere the buttons on the tree and at the bottom to finish off.
- Finish it off with just a few more staples to complete the layout.
