needing a little something

This layout doesn't feel finished to me. Maybe its because I used rub-ons. I don't know maybe I should let it "sit". I do think its funny how our minds work subconsciously. I knew I wanted to use this paper and I really wasn't sure why, then when I put the photo down I realized my son was wearing a Lightning McQueen shirt with racing flags which mimicked the paper. Talk about scrappers intuition!

This one has stumped me even more. I love where I was originally going with it. I knew I wanted to cut the boys out to look like superman, they thought that was pretty cool! But I think it is just the plain red cs that is driving me crazy. I guess it's just one of those where you have to move on, but in my head it was going to be great! I did it at a crop which doesn't produce my best work! lol
Here's another simple one I did at the crop. The boy's were so cute that day. I am already missing the warm weather, and winter hasn't even hit!
This is my favorite of the bunch. I got crafty with my stamps, that was fun! The frames/swirls were done with stamps and was cut with scalloped scissors. It makes me sad he is growing so fast, but I am so proud of him!

I organized!

Yes that's right I spent well over a day organizing and purging all my scrapbook stuff! It was pretty overwhelming and maybe I should have taken pictures, but it wasn't pretty! I even finally bought page protectors and more albums to get my 2 ft. stack of layouts put away, and Im not exaggerating! I remember reading one day how Elsie Flannigan had stacks of layouts laying in piles and I gasped. I guess I should not judge!
I love this line from Sassafrass Lass couldn't wait to use it!
And heres some more of the owls!
