me and my man

this little 6x8 album is turning out to be full of love for my little boy. 

it was always intended to be a reflection of who i am, so i guess that's about right.

i really like the little heart button on the bottom right card. it's from two peas in a bucket (who have such a lovely range of supplies that i can almost forgive their huge international shipping costs).

maybe arty'll look through these albums one day, and be reminded of how much he's been loved from the very beginning. i hope so.

the ones i love

possibly the simplest layout i've ever done. the only embellishment is a tiny washi flag. i love the photo, so i wanted it to stand out. 

it speaks for itself, really. i love my little family.

more happiness

continuing on the theme of things that make me happy, here's a page from my 6x8 dedicated to d&d. 

i like to illustrate our adventures, and the top right is how i draw my own character, a paladin called constance whitethorn. she has a very big sword, and she's not afraid to use it.

a double page of happiness

i'm lucky to have a lot of things that i find joy in. the difference between these two struck me recently, and that made me happy too.

this is a two page spread in my 6x8 album.
the two photos are from my instagram feed, and all the cards are randoms from my stash (i'm terrible at remembering which kits different card come from - am i the only one?). the only other embellishments i used were a bit of washi and some enamel dots.

open me

for this layout, i had some words that i wanted to hang onto, but didn't want to put front and center. i decided to make a little open-out feature, using two cards and some washi tape.

i did have to trim the cards slightly so that they'd fit in the pocket now that they were thicker, but that was easily done.
i'm pleased with how it turned out.

wanting something recorded doesn't always mean wanting to have it on display.
