a small miracle has occured, and i have a brand new layout to share today. i actually have another brand new one to share tomorrow as well. but this one was made entirely for no reason. just because. the photos are older ones of the girls. i came across them a few months ago, and printed them out to scrap them. finally did just that.
it's a simple layout. nothing fancy of special about it. and it's a 9"x9" layout. i got into this size about four years ago, and used to make them all the time. it's a fun size to work with. you can print your photos smaller, and save more on photo paper. and a lot of embellishments just seem to be made for the smaller page. sometimes, they can get lost on a 12x12 layout. but the size ratio on the 9x9 works really well.
everything on this layout is from my mind's eye. this paper here, with the glittered circles? we were using this pattern paper, in yellow, in one of the CKC classes i taught. but we were using the backside of it. i loved that paper so much, that i went out and picked it up in every color. i think there's just three colors. teal, yellow, and pink. but i got them all.
love that my mind's eye has all the fun die cut titles. they're so easy to use, and they match the collections perfectly. i adhered this one using lots of pop dots, and curled up the edges all the way around the piece.
i'll be back tomorrow, with a kerri bradford studio layout. it's a 12x12, two pager, with NO PHOTOS. i've done no-photo layouts before, but this was my first time doing a two pager.
This is an awesome page Laura! Doesn't it feel amazing to scrap just for you...just because...with no deadlines or DT obligations in the back of your mind? I just did that myself and it felt absolutely wonderful. :)

I am seriously loving MME too lately. They have really changed styles lately. And it is always so nice to scrap, well, just for the sake of scrapping- just to play around and have fun. I don't have the deadlines and assignments such as you, but sometimes I get so wrapped up in a project/album, that I just want to scrap one-page just to play. LOVE this layout; but did you honestly think I would say anything but that..Another great one for my file! Thanks again and again.
Smiles from a VERY rainy PA!

those pics of your girls couldn't be any cuter! some times it is nice to make a page just because, mix whatever papers you like, no rules, that's my fave kinds of scrapping :) Lovely layout, can't wait to see tomorrows!

Doesn't it feel good to be inspired by older pics? Love that you scrapped this for yourself! Love the pics of the girls!

Oh these are fun older pics of your girls. It's a great LO. Love it when you can scrap a page just because. I haven't done that in quite awhile.

Where do you find 9x9 albums? Guess it's been about a year since I looked, couldn't find any. I really love this size.
