Dream, Believe, Imagine: Echo Park Thank You Card and Cosmo Cricket Layout

Good morning! I hope you all are enjoying your summer! We have been so so busy since Peyton got out of school and have a lot on our calendar before he starts Kindergarten! EEK! Kindergarten! :-( I don't even want to think about that yet!

My Aunt gave my kids the coolest books. I wanted to send her a Thank You card. My card stash is very low so I decided to make one. I saw a card by Nicole Nowosad on the Jillibean Soup blog a while back and instantly knew I wanted to lift it.

A little closer shot. The oval journaling spot is from Scenic Route. I cut a oval from Echo Park paper to layer on top.

I'm trying to create less pages of one event. I am out of room for albums (at least right now where I can keep the albums out of Maddy's hands). So I am trying to put more pictures on one page for events like the fair where I took a ton of photos.

The Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety line was just perfect for these photos. The Doodlebug alpha stickers are some of my all time favorite fonts. I am going to be so sad when they are gone!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I am thankful for:

30. For patience, not mine (cause I lack it) but patience others have for me.
29. Games, they are a great way to spend time with family!
28. Four seasons, they all have things I love about them.
27. My quiet time in the morning before the kids get up.
26. That my children love to spend time at their Grandparents and Great Grandparents.
25. A washer and drier. I couldn't imagine going to a laundry mat.
24. A hobby - crafting is my outlet and I am thankful for it.
23. I feel truly blessed for the in-laws I have. I enjoy spending time with them all.
22. A husband that wants to be involved and active in his children's lives.
21, Medical bills - that means we are able to give Maddy the medical care she needs.
20. That my children enjoy playing together and making each other laugh.
19. The support of my family.
18. The ability to meet up with on-line friends.
17. That we have a vehicle that handles well in the snow and for Chris's excellent driving in such conditions.
16. Hot Tomales
15. Small towns.
14. That Chris has a good job.
13. That Maddy still takes naps.
12. My super sweet kiddos who ran and got their blankets for me when I was on the ground with a migraine unable to move.
11. The morning snuggles I get almost every morning with both kids.
10. That mt children love each other and are not afraid to show it.
9. Coffee
8. My mom and having a great relationship with her.
7. Healthy children.
6. My on-line friends who inspire me!
5. My netbook and internet - often its my life line!
4. Peyton likes to learn and loves school.
3. Grandparents and Great Grandparents who want to be involved in my children, husband and my life.
2. A nice warm home to stay in during the cold cold days.
1. The ability to hear my children laugh.
