Ryan: Golden Birthday

Paper Issues has a Sketchy Saturday link up and this was based on an October Afternoon LO by Sasha Farina.

I loved how she spelled out a word in descending boxes so this cut file by 17 Turtles worked perfectly.

These were all photos from Ryan's golden birthday. It was pirate themed, so OA's Treasure Map was perfect to use again.  Also, I love any reason to have circle photos, too!

I loved Sasha's double frame of stitching, so I did that here.

I enjoyed the nudge to use mist, sequins, and stars!  I'm linking up to Paper Issues Seas the Day new issue! Yay for pirate themed parties!Thanks for looking!

Happy

Ryan loves to ask if we are happy and gets concerned if we have to raise our voices or sound even the slightest bit upset.  He wants to be sure we are happy and smiling.  This page reminds us of his quest to ensure happiness!

Common questions and things he tells us at age three.  

Papers from Gossamer Blue Get Happy Collection.

Always & Forever: You and Me

For Mother's Day, I found this shadow picture of my youngest and I walking this past Fall.  I love how ordinary the moment is, yet how special it is to see how little he is still and us holding hands.

I loved the sketchy circles cut files that you can find free on Scrapbook and Cards Today.  The white center cut file with heart is a free file from 17 Turtles blog.  

The chalkboard wood veneer are from Basic Grey- Highline.  Pinkfresh Studio paper brings the pop of color.  Additional stickers are from Freckled Fawn to tie in the colors.  The ampersand cut file is free from Jillibean Soup for NSD 2015.

The title cut files are from Studio Calico.  This LO was based on a sketch from a LO for Fancy Pants Design by Nicole Nowosad and the Sketchy Saturday by Paper Issues.  I linked up this layout from Instagram.

Since it is the start of the MLB season, I figured it was the perfect time to pull out a baseball themed picture!  The Pinspired Board on Paper Issues Facebook group, gave me the extra inspiration to get it done.

The cut file, Dancing Circles, by 17 Turtles, had the overlapping circles which I added details to two of them to mimic the baseball look.

The "all about that Base" printable card can be found in Paper Issues store in the free files section.

The "right now" and # sign stamp are from Elle's Studio and the numbered paper is from the Odyssey kit from Studio Calico.

Batter Up!  Hope you are able to catch a game this season with your loved ones.  I love going for the beautiful outdoor weather and the delicious food (...baseball, too.)
