Who doesn't Love a Photo Booth?

I just adore Photo Booths! I love the spur of the moment group shots and of course the silly faces that ensue. My girls are almost but not quite big enough to actually sit on the bench and actually have their head in the shot...makes for some funny mom faces when trying to lift two girls up while smiling as the flash goes off well before the count of 3! You have all been there, I know you can relate!

My girls didn't have school on Wednesday or Thursday of this past week. So, I took them to an indoor water park for the morning. As we were walking out, we came across the photo booth -- needless to say, we just had to stop!! Aren't the pixs adorable? :) I was actually impressed that the prints were the cheapo quality either. They are actually decent. I couldn't let those pixs sit too long without scrapping them. Here they are with Bo Bunny's Mamarazzi line -- one of my favorite Bo Bunny lines of all time!! I am now out of the paper and will totally be restocking it!

Pink Pasilee Love

Every Sunday throughout the spring, our family spends the afternoon at the soccer fields. 3 kids each with a 1 hour game a piece, all scheduled back to back. I must take hundreds of soccer pictures each season. I may only capture a few that are FABULOUS shots but even the others capture the concentration, determination, aggression (or lack thereof) of my children in the throws of the game. Also, given we play two seasons a year, the photos pile up. It is nice when I come across a paper line that is just perfect to use with these pixs. I love the versatility of the red, white, blue, and yellow...and of course those stars! What better way to showcase my own "Soccer Stars".

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day ladies...I hope you all had a wonderful day! My children let me sleep late and then smothered me with homemade gifts. Some of the gifts were just scraps of paper on which my daughter had written, "I love you mommy". Is there really any better gift than those words?

With all of our activities this past week, I have not had the chance to post any of my layouts. This first one is Studio Calico's Anthology line. I wasn't too sure what I would do with it at first, but this came together nicely. Hannah had gotten a skateboard with her b-day money this winter and had been dying to get to use it outdoors rather than in our basement. She ran outside with it the first day the snow had melted and the sun was out!


I had also promised to post my Color Room layout from last week. This is a picture of Sarah from this past fall. It makes me wish we had spent more time jumping in the leaves! The look of absolute joy on her face makes the work of raking the leaves up so worth it!! The papers are mostly Pink Pasilee's 365 degree collection.

Apple Jack

Remember those pictures from last month's post "Einstein wrestles Clown at Dance Party" --- Sassafrass had the perfect papers for a layout! These Apple Jack papers couldn't have been more perfect. In addition to that, I pulled out some of my old embroidery machine threads and also played with some of my mists. I love the way it turned out.


Also, have you checked out this week's Color Room palette. It features the warm colors of fall --- certainly a palette I can work with. I will post my layout in the next few days.
