this layout was up on the jillibean soup blog yesterday.

i really love this layout. i find it interesting how i go and forth between simple and easy layouts … to ones that are more complex and complicated. this was simple … really simple. i found these old photos of the girls at the park … back in 2001. they're so tiny! and you can't see it very well … but sarah is wearing one pink sock and one purple sock. that cracks me up … so typical of her when she was little.

and check out those die cuts. those are so old … from back in the day. but i knew i wanted a sun … but didn't really feel like cutting one out on my own. then i remembered these die cuts that i've been holding onto for years. the sun was perfect … and i thought the ladybug was cute. i couldn't bring myself to use any of the little kids die cuts though … just not sure i can make those work anymore. lol!

supplies:
pattern paper – jillibean soup
journaling sprout – jillibean soup
letter stickers – jillibean soup
die cuts – pebbles in my pocket
silver accents – michaels
punch – stampin up

    I saw this layout on their site — I didn’t realize it was yours until I saw your name. It’s different than your normal style (but I still love it).

    Sometimes simple is best. The photos are great. How on earth do you only choose four? I have so many photoshoots from the park and most of them are well over 20 photos … and I love them all!
    It’s harder to imagine when it’s somebody else’s kids. But, I see something different about my kids from every photo. Outsiders may think they look the same or that it doesn’t matter, but I find it so hard to choose one or two or four when they are all so good! I have this need to capture every nuance of my children.
