goofball kids…

I love these photos of all the cousins being super silly at our family photo shoot last summer.

I shared this layout earlier this week on the Pebbles Blog.  My assignment was to mix and match more than one current Pebbles collection.

Mixing and matching products from the Seen & Noted and Walnut Grove collections worked perfectly for the colors in the photos – which were mostly blues…and the added pops of color were just for fun!

Scrapping these silly photos was just as important to me as scrapping the super cute smiling poses.

Just like the journaling card says, “this is what memories are made of,” although I can’t imagine where they got their silly genes from.

blessings brighten…

…when we count them.  And that’s just what I did on this project [featured today on the Doodlebug Blog] – I counted my blessings!  Of course, there are a lot more, but these are at the very top of my list!!

The frame has been in my storage room for years, just waiting to be filled!  I am happy with the way it turned out.  I love the bright colors for a Thanksgiving project…a bit unexpected, and very fun!

The details:

Since I wanted to keep the glass on the frame, I opted not to add any dimensional items – but a few buttons or embellishments on top of the glass could be fun…hmmm…
