2 peas + Layouts!

3 months ago I was asked by Amy Heller to contribute to a class, "Making Sense of Color For Scrapbooking", she was holding over at 2 peas. I was thrilled & LOVED my assignments given they were color driven. She is so talented! I have read & re-read this article over & over.

This page is filled with Echo Park & Fancy pants! I LOVE these photos so much. His love/hate relationship with bug slime.

Sigh! I look at these pages & I love scrapbooking all over again. I love how it forces me to capture everyday life in the Watson household.

Thanks for looking lovelies!
Happy Wednesday!

Happy & Free by Kim Watson

Caught these photos of Max telling jokes with his Dad...I love the way he totally loses the plot when he lest out a belly laugh. LOL!

Here I saved the glassine bag the Cocoa daisy stamps came in & used it as a pocket behind the photographs to hold my hidden journaling tag.

Home is where your heart is by Kim Watson
 Used my Silhouette SD for cutting the 'holey' background & all titles. Love the texture it adds to my pages.

Again I used my glassine stamp bags as pockets for my photos. I cut them down & 'pinked' the edges for a more authentic look. 
You are Pretty amazing by Kim Watson

  More fun layering using the Dear Lizzy line from American Crafts.

 Hope you are having a fab Friday & have some great things lined up for the weekend! I'm off to a playdate with Max. One of his class mates, a sweet little girl, has been asking for months if he could come & play. The two of them talk the same language when it comes to imaginary games & they both love to draw & create. The perfect playmate actually.

See you on the other side.

I haven't posted to 2 peas for ages but in light of my responsibility to promote Cocoa Daisy & Pink Paislee where ever I can, I thought I'd better do some house keeping over there, clean up my galleries & start posting again.
Well last night I posted my newest PP project & my Feb Cocoa Daisy projects and three of them are in the top 10 for votes this AM!!!
I know it is really 'nothing' but I still feel mighty chuffed about it.
