I love playing along with pagemaps. This layout asked for 4 small pics, but I couldn't resist on the 5x7 fall picture of Emily that I tool. I love the way it turned out! and love the crate paper that I used. Perfect colours for a perfect picture.

What an awesome day

Here is another page of Matthew. He had so much fun helping dad with the fence last summer...what a better way to capture the moment!

Here is Emily Trying Sushi with chopsticks. Unlike Matthew, Emily struggled a bit with them.

But it really doesn't matter how we eat the sushi. It tastes yummy either way.......and definately something that we loved to have every now and than!

CARTWHEEL, Its all in the DETAILS

  I love all the sketches and the ideas on pagemaps. Not only do the sketches bring me inspiration, they allow me to get away, and begin to show my creativity. When I saw this sketch, I knew the exact pictures that I wanted to use! Emily loves her gymnastics, and at a very young age, started to practice her Cartwheels in the yard! The pix I used, helps to show the sequence of a cartwheel, and how the body rotates. The paper from Echo Park, Summer Days helped to bring the page to life. I also HAD TO USE Emily's favorite colour purple as the background. The sun was brought to life by a button in the middle, and to frame the page, I used stitching.

Champions Day

I love PAGEMAPS, their sketches and contests! I had SOO MUCH fun doing this layout! What a great layout to display the CHAMPIONS IN MY EYES!!!

I love to create a layout with sketches.....this one is no exception! I found the perfect pictures of Emily skipping rocks during the summer of 2009. 'Lime Rickey' paper from Basic Grey made for the perfect paper to add a little extra something to this layout.
