during our family photoshoot we spotted a frog in the pond so we had to stop and look

I tried to recreate the feeling of standing on the prairie, far away from anything else. Just an open expanse of sky, grass, water, and presumed alligators. These days, the trail no longer goes out into the prairie like this (following massive flooding from a hurricane) so I'm extra grateful I...

I decided to build a wood lattice with the paper strips and swapped out some photo spots for more paper bits from the kit. No journaling, no specific story to tell, just a (much needed!) chance to relax and scrap

A day out with a friend

Finn made me a Mother's Day gift at school. He was so excited to see me when I picked him up from school. He immediately gave me his gift. We opened it when we came home from school. He made me heart in beads with his photo. It was so cute. He was so proud. My heart is full.

I've been itching to play with one of the new kits I got for INSD / early Mother's Day and this pairing was so perfect. That "dream big" word art was one of the first things down and I built the whole spacescape around it.

I thought it would be fun to do a virtual escape room for May the 4th. I ended up finding a two pack so we got to do a second one for Revenge of the 5th. Naturally, I had to use the same template for both. In this one, I went a little more over-the-top and created a planet with plenty of...

Some celebration!
