When I was at the scrapbook store on Saturday, I saw some K&Company stickers with airplanes, helicopters, cars, buses and tractors. The first thing that popped into my mind was "gosh, those are all of Griffin's favorite things". So, I got them and was inspired to create this page.
But the truth is ... I'm not sure that I really like the stickers on the page or not. Maybe you can help me decide ...
Here's the layout WITHOUT stickers ... well, okay ... this one has ONE helicopter sticker on it.
And the exact same layout WITH the stickers ... in addition to the helicopter sticker, it has an airplane, a tractor and a car.
Which way do you like the best with the stickers or without??
I had this circle paper in my stash and I wanted to use it for the page. It was really kind of busy, so I thought I needed to find a way to take away from the busy-ness. I decided to make a top and bottom border with a teal colored paper. Then I punched out circles with my handy circle punch from papers the same colors as the circles on the patterned paper. Finally, I decided to make little tags and write what his favorite things are ... and I used punched circles to kind of anchor them on the page.
I went back and forth (I do that alot when scrapping) about the title.
My ideas were:
G's fave things
his fave things
my fave things
Obviously "my fave things" won out.
I also had this fun little boy circle die cut in my stash and it fit right in with the circle theme and it matched! So ... I used it ... and I think it fits well on the layout.
Mike and I are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary today! We are going out to dinner tonight, I'm just not sure where. Griffin woke up with a cold (congested nose and coughing) ... so we are staying home today. Hopefully he will feel better tonight so we can go out to dinner.
And just a note ... my sister Joy is having gall bladder surgery today. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. It's an out-patient procedure and hopefully she will be well on her way to recovery tonight at home. I love you Joy.

Missy,
I love the layout with the stickers.
This is something I learned from Photo Freedom, that if you find a certain things that you love you should use it right way, not save it for later. Great Job on the layout I love all the colors and the title.
Happy Anniversary!
I like the first lo..with just the helicopter sticker on the circle:)
Feel better soon..little G!

I like the stickers too Missy...the layout is adorable. I really like that Boy diecut...perfect.
Happy Anniversary to you and Mike. Hope Griffin is feeling better so you can go out tonight.
My thoughts and prayers are with Joy. I've had that procedure and it was a walk in the park. Hopefully it will be for her as well. And the best part...no more gall bladder attacks!!!
Happy Anniversary!!
I like it w/o the stickers
I like it with the stickers also. I wish and Mike a very happpy anniversary and many, many more!
As you know, I just had the same procedure as Joy and other than a little set back with a bladder infection, it was easy to recover from. And as Andi says...NO MORE GALLBLADDER ATTACKS! Have to add, now you can eat ANYTHING...lol
Get well little G and a speedy recovery to Joy!
I like the layout with the stickers. Hope G was well enough for you to go out and celebrate. I hope Joy is doing well. Jerome and I both had that surgery and it was a breeze. Keep up with the scrap booking....you're so good with coming up with wonderful ideas.
