scrapbooking a few layouts this past week...

i used an old cocoa daisy kit 'urban loft.'
lots of layering of scraps leftover  from another layout and card i did a long time ago.
ya gotta use da scrapz peepz!
glimmer misted silver the chipboard word & tucked behind one of the papers, added a couple of stickers on top & tied a ribbon.
did a 1-2-3 of placing my accents.
can you tell?
also signifies my 3 girls.
get it?

i love photobooth pix.
had to do 1 of the girlz especially  before maiya leaves for WA this saturday.
everytime we do 1 i have to make sure my 2 girls get a copy and of course i get one too.
then i do my traditional scrapping of it with a title "love ##.##.###" with the date it was taken.
i haven't done a page for one in so long.
this one is definitely down as one of my favez.

aaaaahhhhh....

as i type this we are baking chocolate almond cookies.
the girls and the hubz are playing one their tablets or phone.
my 21 month old is creating chaos with all the tupperware.
before that we played a couple of games including words for friends.
it's been fun and so nice to spend time together.
i love them so much.
