i have a new layout up today, on the bella blvd blog.

Zachary_SuddenlyABoy

i look forward to our "free-for-all" layout days, which our designers have once a month. it's a chance to scrap about whatever we want to scrap about. no rules or restrictions to what collections or products we use. it's a great way to create some layouts that i've been wanting to do, just for fun.

it started when i took this photo of him last week. 26 months, going on 27 months. 2+ years, if you will.

and it made me think back to this photo of him. 7 months old. just a little thing.

time really does fly by so fast these days. it sort of seems like he magically became a full-fledged boy out of no where. he still had a few of those "baby" qualities about him. and then one day, he didn't. he was suddenly a boy.

i'll be honest. it bugs me just a teensy-tiny bit that my journaling printed a little crooked on the ruled pattern paper. lol! i'm sure no one would notice that except me. and i'm sure i'm weird for feeling the need to point it out to you all.

all of bella's new products started shipping out last week. so keep your eyes out for them, at your LSS's and online retailers. i know you can find them HERE at 2peas 😉

    this is so cute, love how you used a series of photos, I am sure you get attached to your daycare kids, I used to work YMCA after school care and when I quit to have Zachary and stay home with him, I really missed the kids…sometimes I will see some of them somewhere and it’s been four years and it’s amazing how they have changed…I think your journaling looks great on the lined paper…:)

    It’s an awesome layout, Laura. I always love your work. I just hope you keep having fun with scrapbooking with all of the deadlines, so it doesn’t lose its magic. I didn’t notice the printing either. Funny girl! I do the same thing with my layouts. Anyway, I’m rambling.lol Thank you for the inspiration. 🙂

    Love the layout, love the sentiment. And I thought it was great that the journaling was right in the middle. Go figure!

    I love how he’s in the same pose in every shot you have on the LO! Is that something that you intentionally do so you can put together a great page like this? I’d love to know (and I know you’re so sweet about responding;-)! Thanks for sharing!
