Odds & Ends Push Your Creativity
My goal here was to use up my handful of left over heart dimensional elements and a mish mash of paper pieces I had laying on my table left over from my other projects. I'd say I'm rather happy with the results. :)
Are you someone who keeps all the odds and ends / scraps or do you toss them? If you are a keeper, how do you organize them?

All Boy I Heart Faces Photo Challenge - Rock on Eli
Only 1 week old in this photo and Eli is already "All Boy." Many who saw this photo said he was rockin' out on an air guitar. Too funny, I didn't see it before they mentioned it. I Heart Faces challenge this week is to post a photo that fit in the theme "All Boy" and this photo cried out to be entered :)
We'll be seeing Eli and George rockin' it out together over the next year in the series "The Incredible Shrinking George." Each month I'll be taking a new photo of Eli and George together to show off just how much Eli has grown.

Photography: Not Just Faces - Capture Places
It's pretty safe to say that I've liked photography since I can remember. When I was old enough to start taking my own photos, I always had a stack of film waiting to be developed. Remember how expensive photography used to be! Not only did you have to buy the film, but you also had to pay to have it developed and you really had no clue if any of your photos would even turn out.
Flash forward to the birth of Conner, my photography addiction went through the roof. I simply couldn't take enough photos of him. I wanted to freeze every moment to relive as he grew up way to fast. Thankfully, I was now shooting digital and had the freedom to capture a gazillion photos and not go broke doing so. Digital also allowed me to practice taking better photos.
However, I don't only take photos of my kids. I've been known to stop on the side of the road to capture an amazing dark, moody sky with a happy little rainbow or the bend of the road just before my house. Because these are moments and places I also want to remember because they evoke strong emotions for me.
This photo is a prime example of a place that I love to look upon each time I drive by. It's just down the road from my house. I love where it sits on the hill and the way the sun filters through the rows of trees. Yesterday, we went on a walk as a family and I brought my camera along. On the way home, my hubby pulled the truck over so I could finally capture this image and I'm so happy that we stopped!

Twinkle - Moments To Remember
Each night my hubby reads to the boys and then I sing to them. Right now they are both sleeping together in the same bed (by choice) and it is too cute to walk in and find them snuggle up together. I hope that they'll remember this as they grow, but just in case they don't this will serve as a reminder.
What moments of your "normal" day do you hope will be remembered?

My Acrylix® stamps are the best around; they bring beauty and precision together with versatility, durability, storability, and affordability! And during the month of June, they are even more affordable than ever before during Close To My Heart’s month-long Stampaganza!
During Stampaganza from June 1–30, purchase any two stamp sets, sizes A through E (some exclusions apply), at full retail price and select a third stamp set of equal or lesser value for free—a savings of up to $29.95! Buy as many as you want without worrying about having space for them all—the compact stamp set envelopes allow them to slide into even the fullest craft closet!
The advantages of our My Acrylix stamp sets are as clear as the stamps themselves, enabling you to craft with confidence. Being able to see through your stamps makes stamping techniques like double-stamping, base and shade stamping, layered stamping, and cluster stamping so much easier. The clear stamps and blocks remove the guesswork from stamping by allowing you to see exactly where your stamped image will be.
