I wish I am better at capturing everyday life. Whenever I see layouts of people's closets, neatly arrange memorabilia, their morning cup of joe, etc etc, I wish I have photos like that to scrap. I don't take photos like those, and I don't home-print photos. So for me to do these everyday life types of layouts, I must be terribly intentional about it. Maybe I will create a list of layout ideas and then go around the house and take pictures... hmm... to do that, I think I might need to order a flash for my camera... lol...
This is as everyday life as I get. Of course, it's about the kid(s) again. With parenthood, one relinquishes the rights of "all about me" and officially enter into "adulthood." LOL. This layout was published in
Scrapbook and Cards Today, Winter 2009 issue. This is definitely more minimalistic than I typically produce, and I'm thankful that it turned out well.
Here is a closeup on the chipboard pieces I used.
Yesterday, I received my first kit from
Anthologies Connection, I cannot wait to fully dive in tonight. I am letting my ideas percolate.
Also, check out this gorgeous mini-album by
Christie!! You can purchase this project kit at the
Scrappy Gourmet. I am just
so excited for her!!!
As always, I must tell you to check out the
SRM blog again!!! The inspiration there and the constant, nonstop, delicious, mind-blowing content that is generated by the DT... leave me speechless...

You ROCK at Scrapping!!!!
Seriously, I think everyone scraps differently - the way that FITS them and FITS their way of thinking. And everyday life scrapping preserves such GREAT memories!! This layout is no exception! BEAUTIFUL!!!

I LOVE this layout, Jing-Jing and I love your comment about relinquishing the rights of "all about me" - it's so true - but I wouldn't have it any other way - except Saturdays-on Saturdays I want it to be all about me!!
