July Use It All Challenge by ScrapChat Designs

July Use It All: Toddler Life

One of my favorite things about the Use It All challenge is seeing how completely different each layout can be, even when everyone starts with the same sampler.

This week I created a cute layout with photos of my grandson. Photo credit goes to his mom, Ashleigh.

Toddler Life is perfect for those busy little moments, sweet faces, funny expressions, tiny details, and everyday memories that somehow become the ones you want to keep forever.

You can join the July Use It All challenge at the MyMemories forum. Check out the challenge details here:

You can download the Toddler Life sampler here:

P.S. I also added this year’s Fourth of July photo to the other Use It All layout I posted earlier. I love how this challenge can work for a brand-new page or for adding another chapter to an ongoing tradition.
