Design Team: Jennifer McCrae Week 6 Cycle 7

You're Gonna Miss This

Time flies way too fast when you have children. And one of the reasons we are smitten by Teresa Collins Memorabilia Collection, is because it really caters to recording, and documenting the fleeting moments. See how Jennifer McCrae used this collection to record a special moment for her daughter.

She was staring out that window, of their SUV

Complaining, saying I can't wait to turn 18

She said I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules

Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school

Then she kissed her head and said I was just like you

You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These Are Some Good Times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

-Trace Adkins

Looking at my daughter, its hard to believe she’s already 15...time sure flies (at least for us ‘older’ folks!). Every summer we fly ‘home’ to California to spend time with our family and now that we’re firmly in the grips of her teen years, we get to listen to ‘I’m bored!’ day after day even though we know she’s having fun.

Does this teen look bored to you?!? Yeah, me neither! LOL It looks more like a teen and her favorite horse reconnecting... Year after year, Brown Sugar comes running when he sees that Samantha is back; she rubs his ears and he falls asleep. *sigh* Its so sweet to watch.

Children grow up in the blink of an eye, so its important to capture as many great moments as we can. Not only are they great to look back on, but they super helpful to torture your child with when she brings the next date home to meet the parents! Hahaha!

Now, in case you’re wondering what the frame is made out of...that’s acrylic. Pretty cool huh?!? Not only is it acrylic; its embossed acrylic that’s been inked! Very fun stuff!

What I Used:

eBosser/Craftwell embossing folder

Acrylic Frame from Clear Scraps

Paper, sequins and sentiment are from Teresa Collins (love, love, love the colors!)

StazOn Opaque - White

Zip Dry glue

Foam squares

Fine Point Scissors - to fussy cut the sentiment

Glimmer Mist - Black - I spritzed a little on the sentiment

Scotch ATG
