Smiles Really Can Brighten Your Day

Today was my scrapbook club’s first scrap of the year.  We had so much fun.  I complete a page I dedicated to my nephew PJ.

This little guy was born early and oh what a blessing he has been.  We went from the doctor saying, “The best thing for mom is to deliver the baby as soon as possible.”  His parents were shocked.   The next day PJ was here. 

Almost two years later, PJ has grown into an active toddler.   He is saying words and has a personality all his own.  One thing I love is to see him smile.  When he was young you had to wait and hope you caught him smiling.  Now, he smiles on demand.  He knows when it’s time to take a picture. 

His smile reminds me that no matter how challenging my day might have been, there is no way I can look at that smile and not feel instantly happy. 

I used the DCWV Animal Crackers paper stack.  Also, I used the coordinating chipboard pack.  The misting is Tattered Angles and of course Tim Holtz Film Strip Ribbon.

No matter the challenge remember to smile on your journey!!!
