I have been using my gigantic February Counterfeit Kit, honest! Here's a couple of layouts to prove it...
Wobbly Walker:
This one shows one of the first pictures I took of my son walking - with a helping hand or two. He looks so pleased with himself!
I had fun adding lots of sentiments to this page to capture the memories - to try and keep the day as fresh in my mind as it is now. I especially like the 'I treasure this moment' stamp by Elle's Studio, and the 'Happy Days' brad by Papermania:
My handmade journaling card was perfect to sum up the moment, and I like how the ombre effect creates a sense of movement:
The arrow at the top left is pointing to the number '1' because that's how old he was - I like this little extra detail that you might not notice on first glance.
Bouncing About:
This was the first time my kids bounced on a see-saw all by themselves! It was a cold day, but they had so much fun. It took me a while to think of a title for this one, but I settled on 'bouncing about, enjoying life', using mini alphas and an Elle's Studio 'Lil' Snippet':
My handmade vellum envelope was a great place to hide some extra journaling about all our trips to the play-park, and why this day was especially nice:
I'm glad scrapbooking helps me capture all these moments when they get on together, but I should probably do a page soon about all the fights they have too - I don't want the record of our lives to look too unrealistically perfect! They've had some dissagreements today, about whose turn it was with the ball, who gets the biggest snack, and who gets to sit on the wooden chair - to name just a few!
Do you document the imperfect moments too? Or you prefer to keep your albums happy and lovely?
I'm going to keep using my mammoth Counterfeit Kit, though it's going to be difficult to stick to it, as I've bought lots of new goodies from Elle's Studio and Glitz Designs, and they cannot be ignored...! x

You've got some adorable photos and I love how you are using the kit - great pages! Yes, at this time of year with all the new releases coming out, I am acquiring stash far faster then I am using it up!
Such a great assortment of embellies on both of these pages. They really accent and highlight the pictures.

Great layouts, Jennifer! I am in love with the mixture of misting and sequins in the first one. Both your photos are fabulous!!!

Wow, i love your blog, and you put a coll work of arts. Be updated to the most latest and trending news around the globe
I love all the tidbits on both of these layouts!
I like how you have used your envelopes and journaling blocks. Life is good and bad in one so I think that it is important to scrap the less perfect parts of our lives :-)
Two such lovely pages! I especially love the photo of your "wobbly walker" in the first one, and your vellum envelope in the second.
Great layouts, so so sweet.
I miss those days when my girls were babies :)
Really, really loving your recent layouts - they feel a bit different, but somehow, still you. Does that make any sense?
I am always impressed when someone nails the words and images in a layout and you certainly did that here! Just seeing that adorable picture with the word "wobbly" made me smile! Really nice job on this!
