Just Cre8's April Reveal

The Just Cre8 April kit is totally gorgeous! It's just bursting with colour and so perfect for spring The floral papers from the Bloom & Grow line by My Mind's Eye were calling my name and just asking to be hand cut and placed in the corner of this layout. And for those who don't do much cutting, the die cuts from this line are just as stunning and so easy to use.
Are these girls beautiful or what? Our girls enjoy dress up play, but seem to love it all that much more when they have a playdate. It's as if they think the fun is multiplied with the number of girls playing - and they're probably right about that part. On Family Day, two my cousins and their kids came over to play and we all had a great time. The girls broke out the dress up bin and tried on costume after costume, while the boys dug out Evan's old trucks. Then went all went to Swiss Chalet for dinner and had a ton of fun.
I really wanted to do a boy page with these papers, and this page about Evan was the result. As I was going over title ideas in my head for this page, the name of this paper collection jumped out at me as I trimmed the product ID strip from the paper, and the page became Bloom & Grow. The photos here are of Evan at age 2 and age 8, and the journaling talks about how much he has changed as he's grown. He sure looks grown up in the later picture, don't you think? In my last post I showed a little peek at the title for this page.
I did a little more hand cutting of the floral paper in the upper corner of this page, too. This release was the first for Just Cre8's new 2009 Cre8ive Crew, and you can check out our bios here. There is a ton of talent on this team, and I'm so excited to be a part of it. See what the rest of the team did this this kit in the Just Cre8 gallery.
This layout is a tribute to how much the girls love being in a double swing. Since our girls are twins, they grew up playing in the green baby double swing together. They loved it. Once they outgrew it - believe me - there were plenty of tears when it was time to take it down. But now they play together on the big kid's double swing and enjoy it just as much. The Scribblz Art word Spring is featured on this layout.
