I am not sure if anyone views blogs anymore, but I wanted to share some pages with the new Webster's Pages collections. Webster's has made my heart pitter patter for a long time! Nothing motivates me like these collections.<br />
<br />
I used the new and very gorgeous Painted Passport to create a page about my daughter and husband. They attend the annual Father/Daughter Dance each year and it is a production. Ella has to find a new dress and shoes. This year, she insisted we find a matching tie. She hides her dress from him until the moment she walks down the stairs. It is really adorable. This is a picture from last year's dance.<br />

I did lots of handcutting to make a unique page that expresses my style. I call it unique because when you hand cut, you create your own version of art and embellishments. I stole the bird, flower, and the circles from 3 separate sheets of paper. Combined, they make a pretty page. Isn't this line super pretty!?</div>

It is full of Simple Stories and I just fell in love. I had instant sparks of inspiration. The theme is "Inner Gifts." I decided to start the month by reflecting on one of my strongest inner gifts, my drive. <br />
<br />
My drive has saved me from so many dark places. It has dragged me out of holes and helped me move in more positive directions. My drive has helped me reach my goals, personal and professional. It has helped me foster my relationships to go from being happy to being content. <br />

Although if you look on my Facebook page, you would think that life is all good. It really is, but there are parts of my life I would like to alter. Parts of myself that I would like to change. <br />
<br />
I shared some not so perfect facts about myself on the following page. We all have different sides of ourselves. When I was asked to explore the idea of inner child, I thought about a small part of me that sometimes feels angry. Angry about some of my past, the bad things I lived through. Dealing with these feelings makes me a work in progress.<br />

It has been busy and crazy. The carefree joy of the summer is over. We had fun this summer. Real fun, loads of giggles. Day trips and adventures. I don't want them to ever lose that sense as their lives grow more and more busy and crazy.<br />
<br />
I scrapped about it and sent them a message on a page. I used the September kit from Inside Out Visual Journaling.<br />

The little girl or boy who feels vulnerable and nervous. Do we all have that part of ourselves? I know that I do. She tends to watch from afar to size up the safety of a situation. I don't mean safety in the physical sense, but more the emotional. She has taken risks in the past and has been hurt. Disappointed. Abandoned. I think that is what she is afraid of the most.<br />
<br />
Then Steve walked in. I was in a great place in life and was taking care of myself. I was ready for love. Was my inner child? I decided to push past fears and take that leap. It was the best decision of my life.<br />

Truth be told...I don't always react to every situation with that as my immediate thought. But, given some processing time, I usually work hard to search for that lesson. All lessons really are blessings, right?<br />
<br />
This summer, I found myself in a new situation. For over ten years, Steve and I were together each summer...on those awesome teacher vacations. This year and a new job for Steve, it was me and the kids. I wasn't so sure. The kids weren't so sure. We were going to miss our family unit.<br />
<br />
Then the unexpected. We created a new normal. My inner child came out!<br />

I decided to have fun creating this page, using a bold title and scattering lots of embellishments. This is my favorite image from the summer. This kids and I had a fun adventure that day and we ended up going to Old Wethersfield for ice cream. We walked over to the Webb Barn, where Steve and I actually got married. I explained to them the significance of the place. We took some photos that showed how happy we were. </div>

As much as we missed our family unit, we bonded and moved forward. We created fun memories with Steve too, all of us learning to appreciate each other in a new way. I learned to be more flexible. To go with it and see where an adventure brought us. I tried new things and took risks. In some ways, I felt like a kid again too. It was a blessing in disguise.</div>

When outdoors on a nice day or experiencing something new with the kids, I have worked hard to just breath and enjoy it. Living in that moment has done wonders for me. I am calmer, more relaxed and, certainly, more grateful. The kids and I have laughed so much and I believe it can go back to my level of being present.<br />
<br />
The new August kit from Inside Out Visual Scrapbooking involves the theme of Live Your Dream. I really thought about how grateful I am. I appreciate where I am now, especially compared to where I came from.<br />

I loved the cloud motifs in this kit and hand cut them to use around my page. Living today in the moment is key. Being happy and content where I am keeps my grounded. Even when my head is in the clouds.<br /><br /><br />

Does he bring flowers or treat you to elaborate dates? The way love is depicted doesn't typically match real life. It can set a girl up for disappointment.<br />
<br />
I realized that love isn't all that elaborate stuff (although it is nice...). Love is the everyday stuff. It is about changing alongside the person or at least hanging in when one changes and the other isn't there yet. <br />
<br />
I explored this idea of dream love when creating with the August Inside Out kit. The theme is Living the Dream. I believe I am living the dream, but not because of the uber romance. I made a page to communicate what my dream love is all about.<br />
<br />

I shared my feeling about the concept of a dream love. It is based on real life.<br />
and it is real love.<br />

What makes you shine? Sometimes we don't quite know, someone's strengths are not quite evident yet. But I believe that everyone has strengths. They just need to be put in the right situation to make them become apparent.<br />
<br />
I had the opportunity to watch my son discover one of his strengths this school year. It completely changed his personality and confidence level. This once shy boy became a leader. I guess that is why we encourage our children to try different things. I used the July Inside Out kit to scrap about this year.<br />

"How can you be both fragile and strong?" They are such opposites and she couldn't figure out how someone can be both. I tried to explain that sometimes you have to be strong when you are really fragile on the inside. From that place of fragility comes a brick wall, fortifying your spirit.<br />
<br />
She didn't totally get it and I understand. She will have a better picture as she grows older.<br />

I know I haven't been great about blogging, but it stretched this time. I am adjusting to our new normal. Steve got a promotion, which has presented us with a big, wonderful opportunity. But it means working longer hours, being at meeting after school and working summers. So each of us is figuring out the new routine and dynamic.<br />
<br />
I decided to scrap about it using the <a href="http://www.scrapbookingfromtheinsideout.com/">June Inside Out Visual Journaling kit</a>. The theme is I Am and I really loved the goodies in this kit. <br />

I used this picture of the three kids and me because we are spending a lot more time together. I went with the idea of travel because it is a new journey. I am realistic about life and know that we are dealing with a positive situation! We could be going through far worse situations as a family. Even having that perspective, there have been moments were it has been difficult. </div>

The kids and I start summer vacation today and I am excited to see what it brings. Change is good and I am going to embrace it. I will find ways to balance out our routines and make it a great summer. Adjusting to a new normal can be quite powerful and I am faced with that in more ways than one right now. Let's see what the future holds!</div>

It gets stressful and busy, but I love being a soccer mom. Watching my daughter learn about teamwork while also improving her personal skills is very cool. It helps that I really like the other parents so hanging out on the sidelines is a good time.<br />
<br />
I made this page to document the soccer moments. I decided to go with bold colors that pop together. I used the Webster's Pages Happy collection by Alison Kreft. I am a big fan of her collections.<br />

I love the word moment. A moment frozen in time, I moment you will never forget or a moment you wish never happened....there are so many possibilities.<br />
<br />
I went with the idea of the moment when my kiddos were born. I have the worst long term memory. Yet, I remember how I met my husband and the birth of both of my children so vividly. I wanted to write some details down about the moments.<br />
<br />

I love the papers in this kit and use this gem as is! I simply added some extra details and a cluster with my photo. I wrote a ton of journaling to share the memories. Without Steve, I wouldn't have these two blessings. One amazing moment led to two more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Truth be told, there have been many other moments since then that are unforgettable!</div>

I used the Strawberry Fields collection from Webster's Pages to make this page. I love the grid design on one of the sheets of paper and simply cut along the edge to make a large border. I grounded the page with the You Make My Heart Smile card.</div>

I jumped in and started creating. I love looking at the journaling cards from each collection because they serve as my muse. Often times a sentiment or phrase will spark an idea. T<br />
<br />
The idea of Dream in Color made me think of my kids and the message I want to send them. I want them to believe that they can do anything. They talk a lot now about what they want to be when they grow up. I knew my profession by age 8. I want them to dream big and see where that dream takes them.<br />

I grabbed that journaling card and made it a focal point on this page. I also used the bold black oval to draw attention to that side of the page. I hand cut the scalloped border on the top and added bunch of goodies from Webster's all around the page. </div>

<br />
<br />
I wrote directly to my kiddos, letting them know that they should dream big. I included what they often talk about because it will be fun to see 10, 20, 30 years from now. Will they become any of those things or will life take them in another direction?<br />

I caught these really cool shots the night of the Father/Daughter dance at Ella's school. She takes this event very seriously. We have to shop for a new outfit, do her hair and put on some lip gloss. Daddy is not allowed to see her dress until the big moment when she walks down the stairs.</div>

It is one of my favorites because it really captures a moment between three cousins. I decided to use it on a page once I opened my box of Webster's Pages. I loved the Happy collection by Allison Kreft. I am a big fan of her Webster's work and gravitate right to her stuff.<br />

This month we are focusing on Soft & Strong. It is a cool new way of looking at the theme of the month. I scrapped about what, or more importantly, who has made me both soft and strong.<br />

<br />
That journaling card with the little girl's shoes spoke to me and I made a page about my daughter.<br />

This month is flying by and I have not been on the computer very much! I wanted to jump on and post another page using the Inside Out March kit, BRAVE. I had a great time exploring the concept of being brave and decided to take a serious approach to this page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is bravery in my world. All the times I needed to stand up and be strong are documented. The tragic, the ugly, the shameful, the empowering and the joyous. It is amazing that brave can fit all of those things.</div>

I journaled enough to tell the story that I would recognize, but not get too personal. My kids are young yet can understand enough. Someday, I will more openly share these stories when they can better comprehend.<br />

You need them to tell the truth so your life can make sense and you can move forward. I believe in telling the truth and appreciate hearing it. <br />
<br />
I asked for the truth several years ago from my mom. I wanted to know some things about my childhood. I had some feelings and memories of happenings, but I couldn't clearly get the vision of what went on.<br />
<br />
My mom told the truth and it must have been hard. She had to relive some things and admit some truths. I am grateful that she did because my flashes and memories made sense. <br />

Our theme this month is BRAVE! I look that word and all it stands for. Being afraid, yet still having courage to move forward and take action. I did a lot of soul-searching and heavy journaling this month.<br />
<br />
I started with this page about my kids and the power of their love. I have tackled some demons and continue to do so because their love is so pure and unconditional. I love how happy this page feels to me!<br />

As a mom, I have to constantly help my young kiddos learn the important lessons in life. They are literally forming themselves as I type. My daughter has a history of being very feisty. Very...<br />
<br />
It has been challenging to deal with. Along the way, I realized that I played a role in it. Maybe it was my reaction or what I was focusing on. So I got to work and we renovated our relationship. It has made a huge impact on her.<br />

I decided to document it on a page. The theme this month at <a href="http://scrapbookingfromtheinsideout.blogspot.com/">Inside Out </a>is Restore and the kit is full of beautiful goodies. I loved this kit! Ella and I have restored our dynamic. I had fun with this page, adding some whimsy and using a diagonal design.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, I told the story. It is a record of how far we have come!Stacey Michaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15213908296738284460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594392434003789339.post-52026453309685428622015-02-12T10:00:00.000-05:002015-02-12T10:00:02.315-05:00For My DadThe theme of the month over at <a href="http://www.scrapbookingfromtheinsideout.com/">Inside Out</a> is Restore! I love this word because is it healing and powerful. I went right to the thought of restoring my faith. Someone who has done that for me over and over again is my dad. He restored my faith in men! That restoration allowed me to feel safe enough to forgive in my life.<br />

I will admit, this is not my favorite design ever. But it doesn't matter. The thoughts, ideas, and sentiments are what counts. </div>

This life is too short to hold onto fear or not trust in something. I am just glad that I had my dad to help restore my faith at an early age.<br />
