baby blues

It is beyond me how 4 months have flown by! None the less they have. More milestones placed along the way. Jaxson is rolling over, both directions. Is very vocal with his older brother. Mostly, when he does not like what Brayden is doing! Started chewing on anything and everything. Sometimes, it is his thumb.

Been in a creative roll. It comes in waves. Get really productive for 4-5 days and then nothing for a few days. The ideas are there. I just do not sit and produce them. Got about 3 layout ideas, waiting to exit these hands!

I used my QuicKutz Silhouette to cut out all the die cuts. My favorite thing about it: border dies! There are so many to choose from. There is small, medium and large sizes. The fonts are endless. Your title can match you computer journalling. Another thing I love about it. Even for the shapes I may not use all the time, it is a savings. I bought some gardening tools, and at $1.99 each. It was a better deal to buy them for the Silhouette, then to buy the actual die. And I can make them any shape I want. Needless to say, I am in love with my Silhouette!!

on a roll

over the course of about 6 weeks I have been a creative roll. this layout is my current fav!! took a die cut 12x12 paper and tacked it a tiny bit of adhesive to hold it in place. used paints: black, sage and a glaze. all the die cut shapes are cut out with the QuicKutz Silhouette. the title is cut out with various QuicKutz alphabet sets. distressed the squares with a black ink pad. it always helps when you have a cute subject to scrap...lol

Ali Edwards inspired me to do write this blog posting today. You can check out her list. It is a great way to put things into perspective. I am so in need of this!
