When making this layout, I was reminded of the first year of my son’s life, and the joy that came from being able to “make everything okay” by simply holding my him just so, or by singing to him, or even just by feeding him. Things were so simple and tender then. Now my son is two and things aren’t so simple and sometimes I miss knowing exactly what to do and how to do it! But…I guess that’s all part of the adventure… and I wouldn’t trade it for the world! My favorite thing about this lo is how I was able to stray from “the pastels” of a baby boy layout and really accentuate the photo and its story, by bringing a little more drama into the layout with some bolder colors and prints.

Hi I’m Amy Kingsford and I’ve lived in Northern Utah all my life. I am happily married to my best friend and the funniest man I’ve ever met and I have one adorably silly little boy, who has become somewhat of a muse for me over the past few years. I have been paper scrapbooking for a little over ten years now, while I just recently took up digital scrap booking, a year ago. I have too much fun experimenting with all of the different styles to stick to just one, I do however enjoy mixing techniques, colors, textures and patterns to create a one of a kind look for each of my layouts! I am on the team at Get It Scrapped!, where I have a monthly project tutorial and I have done guest design work for Scrap This Kit.
