Awesome Aunt Stacey

I would say I have almost recovered from the blur called January - moving Scrapbook Generation, the launch of Sketch Support, the typical kid craziness, Scrap-a-Palooza, helping Mike start his business, and then all my normal full-time work stuff.  I'm not complaining, it's all been exciting and for the most part fun but I'm looking forward to things slowing down a little in February. Of course, I realize, that I never slow down and am sure that something will come up to keep me on my toes and awake until the wee hours.

This week is one-page week at Sketch Support. I am having a blast designing one-page sketches. I'll forever be a two-page girl but I'm not going to count out one-page layouts. Most of you probably know that I'm big on having lots of photos on my pages and I think you'll see this in a lot of my one-page designs too, like the layout below.

The sketch has four photos but my adaptation of it has five. I had just one more picture I wanted to squeeze in there somewhere.

I love every picture of Stacey with the boys. They are all so photogenic and goofy that it is incredibly easy to capture great pictures of them together, just being themselves. Stacey certainly earned the title "Awesome Aunt Stacey". If she goes a few days without seeing the boys she makes a point to stop by and visit them. She'll get them surprises on a random day for absolutely no reason at all. She can make them giggle harder than anyone else. She'll sit and gab for as long as they want on the phone. I know that she would drop everything and do anything for them. The boys are so lucky to have someone like her in their lives, and believe me, they know it. They adore her.

Make sure you stop by Sketch Support to take a peek at the one-page sketch, the other layouts from our creative team, and enter the big American Crafts giveaway.
