Trying to Capture Them Accurately

When you have a ‘tween it is hard sometimes to capture them accurately on your scrapbook pages.  I mean who want to capture the mood swings and the sass talk?  LOL

I created this fun page to capture my daughter accurately but in a fun way (so she will not roll her eyes when she sees it).

She smiled when she saw it – with no eye rolling what-so-ever.

Lately whenever I am finished a layout I try to create a card with the leftovers on my desk before I clean it up.  It has been great way to use up my scraps and to build up a nice little pile of cards ready for ever occasion.  Here is what I made after I created the above page.

Love the simplicity of this one and love how my Fiskars punch, well, punched it up a notch.

(sorry for the bad joke but I couldn’t resist!)
