That Silly Girl Phase

Ella has had a growth spurt.  She is changing.  Her silly girl phase is morphing into this funny and savvy sense of humor.  She can hand out one liners at the perfect time.  I have loved every stage (well, keeping it real....the infant stage was not my favorite), but I am enjoying these middle years.  This time where they need us, but have so much independence.

We went to visit my brother and sister-in-law along with my sisters and their families this past April.  I got some cut shots of the kids.  I love these of Ella and Riley.  Silly girls laughing and sharing a moment.

 

I decided to make this layout a bit girlie with a touch of navy and black.  I love pink with navy!  To achieve that feminine touch, I added the hand cut floral from a journaling card.  I used the Family Stories collection by Teresa Collins to make this page.

 

 

I added in a cluster to the bottom of the photo to make it the focal point.  LOVE that Teresa's collections are loaded with chipboard and brads and buttons and diecuts.

 

 

I love genuine smiles and captured laughter.  The joy of two silly girls!
