CT Spotlight Vol. 15
Putting the Spotlight on Superior Layouts
Welcome to the CT Spotlight, a monthly feature in which the Creative Team will put the spotlight on superior layouts that have caught our eye in the gallery. We'll show you the layouts, tell you who made them and why we love them. The first CT member quoted is the one who chose the layout for the Spotlight.

Is it CHA time again? We will soon find the ACOT store full of new products and fun things to try, but these scrappers are making beautiful creations with what they already had in their stashes! Check out these wonderful layouts:

ElsieB says:
"I know I may be a little biased, but claritee's work always really impresses me! I love this layout in particular because not only has she perfectly captured the personalities of her two grandchildren, she's also left them a loving message for the future. Her colors and product choices are always impeccable and emotion comes pouring out of her work. Love it!"

FairyMouseMom says:
"I love the color combination here...how well the items she used work perfectly with the colors in the picture. And then there's the picture...truly a great photo!"

Janet says:
"Wonderful use of pattern, color and picture!"

melis_ga says:
"Gorgeous layout! Great colors...they work perfectly with the photo (which is super cute)! The stamping is a wonderful touch...it completes the layout."

scrapsakes says:
"That photo cracks me up and I like the way it's cropped. I also love her choice of distressed papers...how beautifully and subtlety she stamped them!"

mayerkt says:
"This is adorable! I love the fantastic colors, and the stamps give it such a cool, edgy look!"

janello says:
"I love the inking and stamps on this layout. How precious to leave advice for the people you love in our layouts!"

"Little Ingrates"

It’s time I admit to myself that I gave birth to ingrates. No matter how hard I try or how much I do, it never seems to be enough. How exactly do you teach your kids not to be greedy little brats? Is there a special self-help book I can sign on to for that? Where’s the nanny episode that takes on this subject? Gah…if I had a dollar for every time I offer up something cool only to be slapped down with a special addendum requested by one of my kids. I could totally afford the therapy I need and a Frappuccino for each visit.

Here are a few examples from my little ingrates:

Example #1: This summer we got one of those portable 12x3 foot pools. Not three minutes in Bug says, “I wish it was bigger”. Ummm…hello? 5 minutes ago you had a backyard filled with dirt! Try swimming in that.

Example #2: I dropped my kids off with a friend to go to see the movie “Ratatouille”. I handed them money for the show, some popcorn and a drink. Immediately I hear “but why can’t we get candy too?” Ummm…because you didn’t star in the movie so I can’t afford to drop $50 on junk food to go with your afternoon entertainment.

Is there really a good way to tell your kids that they are ingrates? I’ve tried being nice about it and explaining how lucky they are to receive what they’re getting, but somehow I don’t think they’re catching on. Probably doesn’t help that the more they request, the longer my answers get about how they’ll look back on this and thank me one day. This could also explain all the calls from me recently that my mom has been getting thanking her for stuff from my childhood.
