so tough {a scrapbook layout}

My husband took my boys camping last night, so my 8 year old, Jackson, missed his 2nd grade Open House. Two years ago this would have freaked me out. Because two years ago, I would have worried incessantly that Jackson wouldn't make friends, that he would never find his way to his classroom, that he wouldn't feel comfortable with his teacher. I feel so silly now. Because this boy of mine? He is so, so tough. So fiercely independent and strong.
I was looking over my list of photos to be scrapbooked and saw the photos from our trip to the Luken Airport last June, so I pulled them out. In that pile were these of Jackson and I knew right away what direction I wanted to take.

Oh yes, still using those SC kits. I have at least three more layouts to share with you that are from the kits. {And there's still plenty of materials left, but I just got my Jillibean box, so I'll probably break up what's left of the kits and put it in my stash.}

Love this wood veneer alpha-I may or may not have nearly broken my Xyron forcing the letters thru it. :)

I never really understood the fascination with the fabric border embellies, until I had them in my possession. Oh my heck. True love. I need more....

I'll be back tomorrow with a double pager!
Don't forget to enter my giveaway on yesterday's post-still plenty of time to enter to win lots of fun goodies including a Studio Calico stamp set.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
{Yeah, the boys and I read all three Hunger Games books and loved the movie!}
