I have to say, one frivolous, trivial thing I desperately want is a pedicure! Granted, there are much more important aspects to be missing and worried about, but each day I see the tiny strip of pink gel on my one big toe as a constant reminder at how much I’d love some pretty toes again. :)

We’ve all had to make sacrifices in simple ways and tough ways. It’s not been easy, that’s for sure. But it’s amazing how even getting to do something simple again–like getting rid of the split-ends and greys–can buoy your spirits.

For our dear Laura, it’s been five long months.

 

 

 

So digging the colors of this page. And how the layering and trimming of ‘months’ makes it look like three colors? Wonderful!

Here’s Laura to tell us more.

I have always been a huge fan of large titles on my layouts. Most of my “layouts” these days are the smaller 6×8″ pages, or pocket page style layouts, and Kerri’s June alpha stamp line-up is perfect for creating large titles on smaller sized projects. 

I love that the Thick XL and Thick Etc XL stamps have the outline stamp sets as well, as they’re just a fun way to make your alphas and numbers stand out. While I am a very clean and linear scrapper, who uses many, many rulers to always make sure things are straight and even – I love the perfectly imperfect look you can create with the outline stamps (although you can also line them up perfectly as well). 

I used a mix of the new stamps, as well as the new When stamp set, to create this fun little 6×8″ spread about how long it’s been since my last haircut. I always have pages from Kerri’s Label kit printed out and ready to grab for adding smaller stamped words/phrases, and I used them to stamp the month of my last hair appointment and the month of my next appointment.
