Studio Calico's April kit - City of Lights - was one of my favorites in a WHILE. I got it, along with addons Sorbonne and Montmarte, & Addon Patterned Paper - and made this...
...Almost 5 - this is a photo of my niece, Paige - taken by my amazing sister - Kristi - and as soon as i saw it on her facebook page, i KNEW that i needed to scrap it with this kit. ;) Loved how well it worked with the soft spring colors in the main (and that bike paper! - and SC exclusive) - and this was made ENTIRELY with the main kit - City of Lights.
...Ellie - this is another set of photos that i borrowed from my sister to scrap for the book that i keep for her girls (its a book made up of pages with gorgeous photos and lots of GIRLY embellies that I let myself indulge in when I'm in the mood to do GIRLY! ha!). The ruler paper at the bottom is one of my favorite prints ever - the colors are SO fab!!! & the BIG butterfly embellishment was die cut on my silhouette - love how vellum looks die cut like this and layered!
...Just Another Tuesday - Tuesdays are MY FAVE around here - there is no set agenda for Noah and me - and we usually end up doing something FUN - like this beach outting a few weeks ago. Lots of little pics (a random beach walker wanted to take a pic of Noah and me - so i let her - and I'm so glad i did, bc i LOVE that shot...), and embellies and AQUA + KRAFT (which we all know is my fave!). ;)
...You Right Now - this was made ENTIRELY with Sorbonne - addon #1 - and I "wrote" the journaling with alpha stickers in the kit. Pics of Evan from a few weeks ago and lots of little tidbits about him RIGHT NOW. I kind of want to hang on to this age for a bit longer. I'm so NOT ready for five (this summer...).
...LOVE YOU MORE card - this stamp was included in Montmarte - love it! ;)
...Thank You Card - isn't that bike paper from the SC prints this month SO FUN?! :)
...Thank You (with butterflies!) Card - love to punch A LOT at once when i love the patterns in a kit so much!!!
...You are my Favorite Card - More layered vellum butterflies - and stamps from Louvre.
And that is what I made... that's enough, right?!
:)

Hi Susan-
Your little guys are so sweet and those little ladies--what cuties! I have a 10 month old granddaughter and love watching the almost daily changes taking place that will soon lead to the toddler stage. I have my camera at the ready and love including her in my PL album. Speaking of which... your layouts are awesome and I really like "just another Tuesday". I want to use something simular for PL. Can you tell me did you use a silhouette to cut your title or was that part of the kit? I love the stitching across the letters too.
Thanks for the share!
