finally, i have something scrappy to share. this layout went up on the jillibean soup blog today. this was my last official layout that i made in my old scrap space. now i'm scrapping in the new space. i know, i know. i need to quit talking about my scrap space. lol! although i will be sharing some photos of all that in the next few days.
i had taken these photos of alyssa back in june and hadn't done anything with them yet. sometimes i think i hold off on the photos i love, because i'm not sure i can do them justice when i scrap them. lol! i actually used the new grandma's christmas soup papers on this layout. i just love that green and that pink paper. certainly not just for christmas.
no crazy, creative techniques going on here. just a cute close up shot, because i like to do that. and because it's my blog ;)
and a close up of the journaling. i stared with an entirely different title, and was journaling about something else. but it sort of sounded like a lot of my other layouts. then i typed something about how we had curled her hair. and i ended up switching gears, and the title while i was at it. i forget to get these little moments down sometimes, so i'm glad i did this one.

What is it with hair, anyway? Mine never stays curly either. Dang, I feel her pain :) Haha, adorable layout... I never would have guessed those were Christmas papers. Super cute colors!
