A bug, A BUG!

Sabriel is obsessed with bugs. I suppose that her proximity to the ground & all the little creepy crawlies keeps her more observant about all those things. She loves to get down and watch them go about their business. She always makes sure to announce, "A bug- A BUG!" if she sees one, and we all must halt and wait for her to check 'em out.

(Made with the August Scripts kit & add on- check it out here!) I added in a cute Sassafrass feltie (the caterpiller) from my stash because it was just too perfect for this layout to pass up. :)

(P.S. I'm totally aware that I'm on a "circle kick" this month. All my layouts have been starting to have the same general design. What's up with that?! Time to pull out some sketches!)

Glimpses of a little lady

I love catching photos like this where I can see little peeks into who my kids are and who they might grow up to be like.

This little lady-like photos of Sabriel went perfect with the elegance and femininity of the July kit! I had a lot of fun playing around with the small details and layering on this layout.
I put my Martha Stewart butterfly punch to good use on this layout. LOL Did you know that if any of your punches ever get sticky or hard to use, you can punch through aluminum foil to sharpen them, and wax paper to "oil" them? Works like a charm!

Layout with June Kit

Another great kit from Scrap Etc. Scripts this month!  I love all the fun summer colors.  The kit is just in time for open toed shoe season and we have a girl at our house that loves getting a mani/pedi.  The beautiful Bloom Paper from KI Memories was perfectly girlie.  I also used the B side of the Hambly for my journaling and title work.  I used the gold Glitz rub on to add a little something extra to the edge of the layout.  I also gathered the yellow tulle from the kit to make a little ruffle on the left side of the layout under the flower paper.  You know how I like dimension.
