It's Rough Being 2 / October Afternoon

Oh, the days of little toddler temper tantrums!  Haha!  I hope you all are doing well today....it's Missy here with you.  My sweet Paige is now five, but in these photos she was only two.  And in her defense, we were stuck and stranded waiting on her pediatrician in those tiny little doctor rooms.  We waited and waited and waited...so naturally she got antsy.  Of course a whiny fit was bound to happen.  I almost had one myself...haha!  What to do when this happens?  Break out the camera and snap away, of course :D

This was a layout I made just for fun.  I really wanted to use the October Afternoon sheet with all these cute speech bubbles, so I fussy cut a lot of them out.  They seemed to go perfectly with her facial expressions :)

I used some Sweet Cherry Heidi Swapp Color Shine and my own Mister Huey's Water Coolor and Gold Color Shine to make my messy background.  I'm really loving squirting the color onto plastic packaging and then using that to press it onto the paper.  I added splatters, too.


I love these speech bubbles!  I used pop dots on a few to really create a fun layered & dimensional look.


I mixed up my alphas using Thickers and little Lily Bee stickers.  I did add in my own washi tape in several places.  I think I used four different tapes!


I just love these little stamps from Simple Stories. They work on any type of layout!


I hope this gives you some inspiration to create something awesome this weekend!  

Thanks so much for stopping by today! 

Missy :)
