Art Journal (weeks 33 & 34), layouts, and Evan turns 17 months old!

OK, I will start with last week's prompt: 10 minutes

I really liked this prompt! I am all about quick and easy, so only taking 10 minutes on something super creative was great! I also was able to use a new acetate flower from MME's Bohemia 2 collection.




This week's prompt: funny ha-ha!
Evan and Mark have so much fun laughing and playing together, I had to pick this great photo of them! I love the expression on Mark's face as Evan sucks on his cheek...too cute!



I have also been super busy creating layouts...I have had some of these photos for over 7 months...I just haven't had the inspiration to create layouts with them: until now that is!

Thanks for the letter stickers Kristi!



I got some great Autumn Leaves paper and rub-ons at Shopko, of all places, and they coordinated perfectly with Evan's bright sweatshirt!


This layout is for Evan's 8 1/2 by 11 album... the photos weren't the greatest at regular size, too much clutter in the background, but cropped they look great!








Evan turned 17 months today! He is such a little talker, and LOVES his cars ("car-cars"), and trucks (he won't say truck! He will correct you by saying "car-car" though!). We had a play date with our neighbors, the Holmes this afternoon, which he enjoys. Tomorrow should be pretty peaceful, then Thursday we have a dermatologist appointment, Friday is playgroup, and Saturday we leave for Coeur D'Alene! September is super busy for us, and every week from now until October we have plans, including Retreat with the gals from Crop, Paper, Scissors! I am really looking forward to spending time with Kristi W., Kristi O., Tami, and Cory!

Have a great Wednesday!

Art Journal (week 18)

This week's prompt: Nature.

I loved how Bethany used a quote for her card... so I borrowed the idea. Thanks Bethany! I decided to use this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson because patience is something I have to deal with on a daily basis. Through my son, Evan, I have had to learn patience... something I am not always good at.



I love the blues, greens, and browns together... one of my favorite color combinations! I look forward to next week's card :-)

Art Journal (week 16)

This week's challenge: Get someone else to contribute.

What a fun challenge! I decided to get both my boys involved... and use their finger prints! Now I know exactly how big Evan's finger is at twelve months of age... and I have a cool little card!



Evan was a little squirmy, so his print isn't perfect, but what do you expect from a one year old?!?! Thanks for looking!

Art Journal (week 15)

This week's prompt: your parents



I loved this week's challenge! My parent's and I have such a great relationship, and I was very excited to put that into words. We haven't always seen eye to eye, so I really value our conversations, and time together now. This photo was taken on my wedding day, almost three years ago (hard to believe!), and our relationship has grown so much during that time. I love you Mom and Dad!

Art Journal (week 14)

I have decided to start doing Emily's art journal challenge! I have been watching Bethany do it week after week, and I love what she creates, so I thought I would give it a whirl... Let me know what you think!

This week's challenge: birds!
