Oh Boy

Layout #61 for Calvinball. Daniel was dressed to go to a birthday party for his friend. They were going to a park to play Nerf Wars. He looked so serious and ready to play, and even when I asked to take his photo, he didn't smile, preferring instead to stay in his war mode. I love this boy!

District 14 and The Theater

Layouts #38-41 for Calvinball. These photos are from Digiscrapapalooza, a digital scrapbooking convention that was held in Las Vegas in March 2012 (the second year). We had so much fun at the convention, but we did take a small break to catch a midnight showing of The Hunger Games that had just released in theaters earlier in the month. We all waited to see it at the same time. I love that I have so much in common with this women, not just digital scrapbooking!

Did You Get It - People Tell Me - This Is My Good Side

Layouts 31-36 for Calvinball! There were so many photos, that they wouldn't fit on a double page layout . . . I ended up making three double page layouts because there were so many fun photos I couldn't say no to!

The video is almost 50 minutes long, so be warned if you do start it!

Layout #30 for Calvinball! Man, this was the low end of my goal, to make 30-45 layouts in the month of March. I'm so excited that I'm ahead, but even more excited at how passionate I feel about scrapbooking right now. It's not that the passion was gone, but it's so overwhelming right now. I just want to create all day long! LOL

These photos are from a 2012 family trip to Walt Disney World. Tinkerbell is elusive, so to catch her during the parade was awesome!
