On repeat –...
I couldn't resist making a second page with this collab between Cheryl & Soco. I used the same kits and the majority of the same details. Minimalism is a lot harder for me than maximalism but I think I rose to the challenge.
I'm in the middle of preparing for May the 4th so my mind is currently in a galaxy far, far away. I saw the circles in this template and thought of the Death Star. From there, I just let the force flow through me as I built this page.
I have been saving these photos for MONTHS for just the right template set. I made sure to stage some photos so I would have something fun to scrap when I needed inspiration. Plus I just really like this Fallout kit
When Cheryl was taking requests for new template sets, I asked for something with clouds. She gave me what I wanted plus lots of cheerful sunshine too. While these photos aren't quite as sun-soaked as I'd like (since they were shot through a tinted car window), they still bring the Florida fun.
The firedepartement at my parents hometown held an open house last weekend. My dad wanted to take Finn to see the firetrucks. My mom and I happily joined them.
He had a blast. He could ride two different firetrucks and could use the hose to put down fires.
We spent the morning at our local petting zoo.
