Here We Grow Again (a layout)

I admit that I like digital scrapbooking. It's faster and easier, and though I have yet to do this, I like that I can create a page, change a few things and use it for both of my kids. That's a nice option. Having said all that though, I really miss my paper. I ordered a box of "boy" papers and embellishments from Two Peas, and I picked it up from the post yesterday. I'm very excited to dig in, but I had a little mental block since I haven't scrapbooked with paper since January. How do I do this again?? I'll might be pondering that for a while, so in the meantime, here's a digital page that went up at Two Peas earlier this month:

Things to note:

• This page isn't finished. It's a work in progress where I plan to keep little man's weight and height changes over the year. When I've included everything, then I'll print it for his book.
• Sadie has a similar page, and I am enjoying the comparison:
