It’s really Friday! I love Fridays. It’s either the start of a busy weekend or the start of a lazy one. We never have one or the other here. I like the busy ones, and I cherish the lazy ones.

I was looking through the gallery, trying to find some layouts that I wanted to show off, using Life is Beautiful. It was HARD to not choose a few by the same people. Not because their layouts are better, but because I keep looking at the photos. I’m recalling pictures of when they were born. Each birthday. Those milestones. I haven’t met these adorable kids in person, but I felt connected.

That’s something that makes the internet completely beautiful. You get to “meet” amazing people that you wouldn’t be able to do so otherwise. Choosing just one layout, or three, as I did today, is harder than you would think, simply for that reason. I did it, but it wasn’t easy.

This was created by Atusia. I really love how she used Joyful Heart’s grunge corners in the corner.

Created by Colleen. This little guy always cracks me up. You can tell that he’s a sweetheart!

I just love this layout by trina513. I love the smiles on the boys!

Remember, if you want your layout spotlighted in the newsletter, you have a chance! Make sure you create it using the current buffet, and upload to the buffet gallery.

The birthday party at Gingerscraps is still happening. Several speed scraps today, and continue into the weekend!

Speaking of speed scraps, next Saturday, Meg, of Ocean Wide Designs, our guest designer, is going to host a speed scrap!

I hope you’ll be there! I’m planning on it.

We love to see layouts created with the products, so make sure you share with us!
