It’s Thursday, so I’m up with a layout to share on the Creative Embellishments blog, created using several of my Fall favorites from the Creative Embellishments store. I can’t resist the many gorgeous frames they’ve added, so I even nested 2 of them on my page. lol

I snapped this pic of Matthew right after he’d had a haircut. I actually have a pic of him that was right before it where he’s sulking because he didn’t want me taking pictures, but when I asked him for just one good one, this is the cutie wide-mouthed grin I captured. lol

I was also inspired by the Purple Pumpkin November sketch:

Count Your Blessings

Here’s close up of the butterfly I altered using gelatos:

This is a layout I made based week 17’s sketch on The Paper Variety.

On the first day of school, Madison was so excited to finally be going to “big kid” school…until we got there. Then she was terrified. Christian was only 2 months old, and I had him, Matthew and these two with me in the car. I was trying to figure out what to do when Alex asked me if he could take her in and show her around. Phew! My hero! 🙂 He told her school is all about your attitude. If you act confident, tough and smile a lot, everyone assumes you are confident and fun to be around and they won’t mess with you…therefore, my title. For this lo, I used the Wonderfall diecut paper, and floral bouquet. The storyteller alphas are from beautiful. The brackets are from the Wonderfall diecut sticker sheet.
