This past weekend, we celebrated the little people in our family. She's really not that little any more, but she has agreed to being my baby. As recent as a couple of months ago, whenever I called her "my baby," she would protest so loudly, "不, 我不是baby!" Somehow she has had a change of heart and now concedes to being my baby and would even raise her hand if I asked for my baby.
I took these photos to get the Shimmerz Coloringz'ed t-shirt she's wearing. I wasn't even trying to get her in the pictures but these end up being some of my favorite photos of her. This layout was done using the 5&Dime collection by October Afternoon, and indeed, Bruno Mars would be so proud, lol. Speaking of him, I believe he is scheduled to perform at the American Idol results show this week! I am looking forward to seeing that! 
This is my second layout using lyrics and I am relieved that it turned out the way I was hoping that it would! I used lots of 3-d foam adhesives from Helmar to break up the monotony of the letter stickers. I think it worked.
Seriously, on that day, her hair indeed fell so perfectly without anyone trying. Normally, it's a struggle of power between us. I want to comb the tangled mess before dreadlocks form and she screams the entire time I'm combing. There's no Bruno Mars love during those moments, just a whole lot of cacophony of yelling, screaming, crying, and more yelling.
This second layout I did as the guest designer for Crate Paper last month. Emma's Shoppe is just beautiful beyond description, sigh... I tried to use a lot of various elements from the collection, the chipboards, the layered chipboard, the eclectic button, stickers, border stickers. My gosh, layering is indeed fun! And at the end of it all, it is all about her, my beautiful "baby."
I hope you all had a lovely and relaxing Easter weekend! Now happy happy Monday to you all!

Hi, Jing-Jing! I cannot find your email/contact. I wish to chat w/you. First, I wanted to thank you for telling us about the OA Warehouse Sale - my BFF and I spent a fortune, but got SO MANY great deals. We are having great trouble finding Fly a Kite Wild Cards, and wonder if you can suggest anything for us. She lives in Stillwater, and I will visit her in May. Thanks for your help and for your beautiful works of inspiration.
Blessings, Karen

Your little girl looks so amazingly stunning in those pictures on the first LO. Wonderful pages JJ.
love both these layouts Jing Jing!
that first layout is so freaking cool. bruno mars would be proud indeed.
I'm sure I've seen that first layout before or am I dreaming?! I could be dreaming because all your layouts are like a dream. LOL The sweet photos of your daughters always make me smile and I really love how you layer. I know you say you don't layer a lot but it's still more than I do! Thanks for being such an inspiration to me!!
Oh wow, love the fun song lyric title and love the layering! I am not a layering person and I LOVE the look of it. I wish I could layer more!
LOVE the big photo in the bottom layout and her adorable little face! You worked those Crate pps just beautifully. Awesome title work in the top layout, just your signature style JJ!! Awesome just awesome! can I say it again? awesome! You have such a scientific way of creating beauty, by that I mean that you have such attention to itty bitty detail and your style is crisp and graphical. Love how the pps get to shine on their own without lots of other unrealted stuff piled on top. The embellies always give that extra umpff with a twist. :))
