Smile...

Do your kids ever cover their faces when you pull out the camera? Do they pull faces? Do they run away? Mine does. All of the above. I know it's partially her age and attitude right now, but sometimes it makes me wonder if I've just taken too many photos. I try not to. I really feel like over the years, I've grown quite good at deciding which moments need to be documented and which ones I just need to be "in the moment" for.

I've been trying to include myself in our story, and part of that is taking selfies. It's a thing I sort of hate, but no one else can make sure I only have one chin! I try to have Malia take selfies with me when we're twinning or when she is being/looking extra cute and she hates it.

I felt like that was an important thing to document. I never had that problem when I was a kid.

I used my Felicity Jane kits for this layout and had a bit of fun coloring some of the black and white patterned papers with my distress inks. Also, that glitter foam "smile" title piece is winning all of the things. I love it.

Everything on the layout came from the kit, except for the inks, which I'll list below. If you want to see the process of how this layout came together, you can watch it!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and be sure to check back tomorrow. I'll be doing a huge layout share and announcing a new series on my YouTube channel!
