Love it! I seriously need a sewing machine. I originally wanted to make cloth diapers, ha! I'm intrigued by the drawing next to the hearts. Did you make that? Did you post about it?

It's my first time visiting your blog and so touched by this photo. I have a small boy too and can't imagine. Just wanted to give you and your handsome boy a virtual hug.

What a great way to use sequins! Had to pin this layout! (yelppuppy)

Wow that dress is so cute! I bought a dress yesterday for a wedding this weekend from jcrew, but yours is way cuter!

Great post! I didn't know their office is right in SF! I wonder if they're open for public. It does look like a church (because it was) and it's hilarious.

Thank you for sharing this! I've known 3 people whose email or server got hacked this week alone, and sure scared the heck out of me! I'm now 2-step verified thanks to you. :) Hope your twins are doing well. I'd love to see some updates on them!

Oh please pick me! Love Amy tan!

Hands down mme has the best label stickers! I'll buy a pair in the future as I always use them up too fast!

Even though I'm not a card maker, I'd still like to say, great cards! Everything you make just look so... right!

Oh my goodness, Shannon, you've really outdone yourself. I am speechless. These layouts are perfection! This is the max level of messiness I can tolerate. I love the gray in the first layout, and I have to admit it didn't look good at all before you finished it. I would've discarded it if I did it haha. But your finishing touch is so magical! Really love the second one too as I love using circles on my layout. They're just such a happy shape!

No I didn't see it. I thought I'd see it after I hit submit but nothing came up. Is it because you set the blog as only registered users can comment? Well I shouldn't guess since I don't use type pad.

That's fine, as long as it's not impossible to read. Sometimes I have to try 4+ times to pass as a human lol! That's why I use the math type on my blog. Anyone can do 2+3 right? right?

Can't wait to see the whole thing of the peek you were showing! Thanks for the giveaway.

Wow you have such a great attitude! I was so depressed as I was forced to part with my 20s. Your attitude is perfect and I think you'll have amazing 39s, 40s and all decades to come! Oh start doing yoga to maintain flexibility, which is the first to go as we age lol!

I so need the class because stamping is one technique I haven't really tried yet! My two peas name is yelppuppy. Thanks for the chance!

My two peas user name is: yelppuppy I'd love to learn any techniques outside of "put ink on the stamp and stamp"!

Haha, isn't that interesting? I always debate if I should blog all my layouts. But I'm afraid that the layouts I don't like would be more popular. It must be so cool to stumble upon your layout here and there after so many years! I noticed that layouts that look good by themselves and in person don't necessary look great online or when lined up with others. This layout for example, is very simple, and that's probably why you didn't think it's special. But the colors are vibrant and cheerful, the embellishments are large, and the colors coordinate well with the photo which is gorgeous by itself. The large scale translates so well when the image is small, and people notice them at a first glance. I enjoy making layouts with small details, but they don't photograph well and the impact not as dramatic. But they're sure fun to make!

Love love love this entry! I bookmarked it and everytime I wanted to get another color I refer back. The colors are so different from the labels, and your chart is true to the color. I was about to get more, and I noticed they've got quite a few new colors! Did you plan to get some new ones? If so, will you do another blog post showing the colors? Really appreciate it!

I would love a chance! My two peas name is yelppuppy.

Lovely layout! I really like your site and layouts, so I just added you to my RSS feed reader. However, your feeds are cut off before the photo started, so there's no photo in the RSS feed. That makes it impossible to browse your website from the reader! You may have done it intentionally, but thought I'd drop a line in case you weren't aware of it. Thanks! :)
