lovable laughs

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I'm still on a bit of a high from the Jets victory on Saturday (go JETS! lol!) and getting more and more excited about CHA as well.  In less than 2 weeks I'll be in California drooling all over tons of new scrapbook products (okay well not literally all over - hee!).  If any of my blog readers are going to be at the show be sure to come and find me.  I'll be working at the GCD Studios booth in the mornings (Sun - Tues) and then walking the floor the rest of the day. 

I wanted to share with you a recent layout I created for the Collage Press blog.  I worked with the Knave of Hearts Collection for this one and can I just say that I am in LOVE!  The colors in this line are just so yummy - PERFECT for those boy pages and as a mama of two boys that makes me very happy. 

This is one of my favorite photos of Darian.  He seriously has one of the most lovable laughs - one of those whole body laughs - and I was so happy I caught him in the act in this photo.

I used lots of different die cuts on this layout accented with just a few little chipboard hearts here and there to carry out my "love" theme.  I also adhered some Knave Alphabet Stickers directly to part of my photo.  Against the dark background these cardstock stickers really have some "pop" and draw attention to my title.

I added a fun canvas alpha (colored with Copics to match the charcoal color in the collection) with my son's initial to one of the Knave Journaling Cuts and secured it with some tiny staples (YAY for the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher! lol!).

Well that's it for today ... thanks so much for stopping by!  I will be sharing some of my Zva Creative projects that I created for CHA this week as well so be sure to check back in and see what I've been up to! :)
