outside-in

Our challenge this week was to bring the inside . . . out!  

Not sure if this technically qualifies, but all of these things were inside at one time  :)

❤❤❤ Happy Valentine's Day ❤❤❤

I just finished making our children's Valentines for school.  And I would LOVE to share them with you!  If you would like the template, leave a comment below and I will email it to you.  

The template will make two 2.5"x 3.5" flat cards and one 2.5" x 3.5" folded card.  All you have to do is change the name for your child(ren).  All the layers are completely changeable, so feel free to change colors or fonts.  The "V" is for the boys and the "heart" is for the girlie girls : )

I am printing this on 5x7"linen card stock and then cutting them to their proper sizes.  Afterward, I will punch wholes in them (one at the top and one at the bottom) and run a red and white lollipop through the wholes.  We will give it the finishing touch with a red ribbon.  I'll try to get pictures of the finished product up in a few days for all of us visual learners!

Satisfying . . .

2nd day, week 2 of challenge.  I have a lot more to learn in both life and photography, but one thing I know to be true:

one subject . . . different views

To keep me active, grow and learn my craft, I am taking a class.  Every week, for the next year, we have a project.  This week, the assignment was to just one "stationary" item to photograph from many different angles.  My "muse" is still someone stationary, so I chose her.  Here is my work.  My favorite picture is actually the one where she is not even looking at the camera . . . so sweet.  

Any mother knows that we need to be lead, and gently lead at that, as we parent our little blessings.

Handsomeness!

Cute Little Pumpkin!
