Favorite Layouts from January 2013

I'm still getting you caught up on a year's worth of scrapping. January 2013 was the Month of Challenges at The Lilypad, a month with a lot of scrapping for me. Here are a few of my favorites.

These were pictures from New Years Day.

This one is about some of the play time Miller spends at home. I was particularly touched by a paper he brought home from kindergarten which said, "Happiness is playing at home." There is a funny story about the right most picture in the layout. It was a sheet of paper that we hung from the ceiling to represent space. Miller has some Imaginext space play toys. I thought that adding a sky would make for a more realistic setting for our play. Well, it was actually kinda awkward and it didn't really enhance our play. But we left the space hanging there for a few days and we took to talking to it.  We'd say, "Hey Space, are you there?" And Space would answer in a deep voice and talk to us.

This final one was a trip to a local nature area. This was a challenge was to scrap what winter looks like in the place where you live. It was fun to share because where I live in California, winter is just kinda plain looking. The trees have lost their leaves, but we don't get snow.
