10 Faves @10

As part of the March Mini Madness at write.click.scrapbook, I made and shared a mini album using Karla Dudley's  The Good Stuff and The Good Stuff Add-Ons at Pixels and Company. 

For my mini album, I wanted to capture 10 things about my son while he's 10 years old. I wasn't sure if I wanted to bind the pages together for an album, or if I wanted to add the pages to my Project Life album. I decided to design the pages at  3" x 4" (really 2.88" x 4" in the Project Life brand pocket pages) so that I could create one album and print it twice to create both options!  

I used a similar format for each page to provide cohesion to the album and to allow for quick assembly. I repeated the same background paper, used a single photo and paper strip, and then added washi tape, flair buttons and word strips to embellish each.

A throw-back photo! I can't imagine my baby was ever that little. Such a sweetie!

St. Louis Field Trip

I love the watercolor look to these journal cards by Creashens at Pixels and Company! They added a great soft feel to the layout about our field trip.

New Bedding

I've been meaning to do a LO about my new bedding for some time! I'm just so happy with the colors - gray with accents of aqua. I included my favorites of chevrons and hexagons, but softened the geometric design with some flower accents.

I Adore You

I love this photo of us. I had some trepidation on using pink, since I don't really like to use that color on a layout about my son, but I really love this color scheme and how it turned out! I also love the ombre effect on the background paper. Do you have a color that you avoid?
