Scrapbooking with Picture my Life

My daughter turns 3 in a  few months (a fact she never lets us forget as she reminds us every time someone else celebrates a birthday).  First of all I cannot believe how quickly she is growing and changing- everyday she seems a LOT more grown up than the day before.  I decided to chronicle what she is like at 2 in this layout- just to make sure I remember the funny and sweet parts!

  • She is a HUGE girly-girl- loves her dresses, tries to wear makeup (thanks to my Dad for this gift) and is a fan of all things purple, pink and princess (and is pretty obsessed with Minnie Mouse).
  • She has a smile that can melt your heart but also has her serious look- like she can see right into your heart and soul.

To create my layout I used some of our Picture my Life cards (these are part of our pocket scrapbooking system and they have SO MANY great uses!)  They were perfect in this layout for my journaling and to add some nice images and quotes to the overall layout.

In the bottom photo I cut the three hearts out of one of the PML cards and used foam tape to pop them up and add some dimension.
