And the word I'm thinking of the most today is....
thanks.The closer I get to being a mother, the more I appreciate all the things my mother did, and still does for me. And without going into details, I'm pretty sure I wasn't the easiest kid, either!
So if you're reading this mom--thank you. I love you so much.
[This card was made from Studio Calico's delicious February kit, Candy Shoppe. Here's hoping I can order up some time to play with it more!]
And, in honor of National Scrapbooking Day (I'm a day late, but too much celebration can be a good thing, right?) I have a scrapbook layout for you!
The monthly challenge over at Write. Click. Scrapbook this month was to scrap a day in your life.
I created a similar layout almost two years ago, and it's funny how much has already changed!
Here's my layout from back in October of 2009:
And here is my layout from April of 2011:
In between the two layouts, we've both graduated, so our daily schedules are really different!
Since I was running low on time and didn't have time to order photos (reason #4566677 why I need a Canon Selphy as a birthday present!), I decided to just use a random photo of myself and focus the layout on the journaling.
I kept track of what I did all day on a notepad, and then typed up the schedule as journaling. Using my typewriter, I was able to (mostly) navigate around the embellishments to get all the writing in. I used the Studio Calico April kit on this one. While days like this one (lots of scrapbooking, visit to the mall with a friend), aren't exactly my everyday life, I still love how this layout captures a moment in time in a really detailed way.
Check out what the rest of the WCS girls did here.
So when was the last time YOU created a Day in the Life layout? And what are YOU doing for Mother's Day?
And just a final note on Mother's Day: for those of you reading who aren't mothers yet, hang in there. You aren't alone and before too long we'll all have sticky fingers bringing us breakfast in bed:)
I've made a couple of layouts like that, but it's been a while. You should check out the DitL-community on LJ: http://ditl.livejournal.com/

ReplyDeleteand love the comparison between the layouts - it's so much fun to see how our work evolves - and your use of the typewriter is a super cool touch - it looks great! :o)
Keshet, is it too cheesy to say that I love you? You have a good heart - and your day will come. I know it will.
ReplyDeleteLove your card, love your layouts. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with your readers, it's a blessing to us all. =)
I really love your new layout! So great! :)
ReplyDeleteI really love your Day in the Life layout! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour journaling layouts always rock! BTW, I couldn't have breakfast in bed. Too much help involved (both wanting to help and sit beside me, huge potential for spills) so I opted for sitting surrounded at the dining room table with three sets of eyes watching me consume every crumb of breakfast :) And I had to consume every crumb! LOL! It will come scrappy friend! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteFun Day in the Life pages! I love how you used the tags!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects! I especially love that thank you card and the pop of color - really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely projects! :) The card is such a fun colorful card and the layouts are just fab! Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI just know you are going to be a Mama very soon:) LOVE that picture on your day in the life LO! Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteLOve, love, love the April 2011 layout. I think this is a great idea too & want to do one of my own soon. Also, love your card! I have such trouble with them!
