He's a Rule Challenger with Alyssa McGrew

Today Alyssa is here sharing a layout made with some of her favorite items from the shop.  Alyssa says:

My son is all boy, often covered in dirt and clutching a bug in his hand (or trying to hide one in his room).  He is also one to challenge the rules.  All the rules.  So, on this layout, I broke a few rules and used flowers and glitter.  He rolled his eyes and shrugged when he saw it, but I really don't think he minded.

Alyssa used burlap stars and glitter stars from the shop to make this adorable layout that has just enough classic boy to make it stand out.

DT Call Reminder and A Visa Trip with Alyssa McGrew

It's Friday!  Welcome to the weekend.  First up today is a quick reminder that our Design Team Call ends on Sunday.  We are enjoying all of the incoming applications and can't wait to see yours!  All the details can be found HERE.

We also have a layout to share today from DT Coordinator Alyssa.  Alyssa is currently living in Eastern Europe, and created this layout to commemorate the last day of travel required to secure their family visas.  Since photos are not permitted at most embassy locations, Alyssa cleverly created the layout with photos of the hotel breakfast her family enjoyed prior to picking up the new visas.

Alyssa started with a bold background paper, then used one of our 6-inch doilies to create a clean space on  which to build her title.  The book page stars from the shop add lots of interest while allowing this page to still feel almost monochromatic.

Thanks for coming by today!  Check out all the new additions and everyday staples in the shop by clicking HERE.

Layouts. Paper Bows. Freckled Fawn

I hope Halloween had more tricks than treats for you :)

Halloween was so much for us as a family last night!  Our kids are at the absolutely perfect age for Trick or Treating.

It was little man's first trick or treating experience and his face lit up at each door as if to say - "candy for me? this is awesome!"

He was superman and he fist pumped at every house when he came away with his loot. Do little boys get cuter than capes and huge smiles?

Freckled Fawn had a few more great layouts I thought I'd share with you using my bows and their Autumn OHDeerMe Kit.

Naomi Atkins created the stunning layout at the top of this post using the cutest pinwheel and one of my yellow paper bows.
