Socialite and Rockabilly Fun

I just love Paper Trunk's Socialite line. I just love the colors, the designs, and everything about it! I knew the Socialite line would be perfect for these pictures of my daughter. This layout came together so quickly for me...I think I finished it in under half an hour! That's pretty fast for me. I usually end up hemming and hawing over details, but honestly, I'm trying to stop doing that. I just don't have the time to spend hours on a single page! But even though this came together really quickly, I still love how it turned out. I think there is something to be said for fast scrapping!


In fact, it came together so quickly, I made a second page that night! That is also unusual for me. I'm actually not a very good night time scrapper. I have a hard time leaving pages unfinished, and I'm not much of a night owl at all. I really like to scrap in the middle of the day, but with 3 kids home for the summer, there isn't much time for afternoon scrapping! Again, this fast scrapping is the way to go. Two pages done in between the kids' bedtime and my bedtime!


I used Rockabilly for this line. Again, love this line!

I've had this picture of my middle kiddo sitting on my desk for months. I love the picture of him, but wasn't quite sure what story I wanted to tell. It suddenly came to me. This picture is just so Logan. I have no idea what he was pouting about (and I probably didn't even know what it was about back when it happened in January.) That is just Logan. When he is hurt, he keeps his thoughts and the details to himself. I knew I needed to document this side of him. Chances are, this will always be a part of who he is.

Journaling: "You have a hard time sharing what happened when you get hurt. That goes for physical or emotional hurts. You just want to be left alone to deal with it. It sometimes takes days for you to share...and sometimes you won't share at all. It's hard for me to understand this part of you. You are just like your daddy in this way! Please remember that I am always here if you need to talk. And I promise to give you space and time to process. Even though I don't understand (and to be honest, it's the total opposite of me,) I love you so much, just the way you are!"

Hope everyone is having a great summer!
