Sticky Socks Please

One of my most frustrating part of my life these days is getting everyone ready to go somewhere. Inevitably one or two of the kids will be unable to find a matching pair of socks. Why, oh why don't those silly socks like to stick together? Why is it that one can be outside under the trampoline while the other is on the bathroom floor? One can be just inside the side door while the match to it is under the couch in the living room?


Does anyone have any good tips for me? What do you do with unmated socks? Any good suggestions for helping preschoolers remember not to run outside in their stocking feet?

Cookie Cutter tool

Here is a layout that I've been working on for the last few days. One of my favorite aspects of digital scrapping is that I don't have to drag out any scissors, glue, papers, cutters, ect. whenever I have a few minutes to scrap. When I get interrupted I just minimize the Photoshop Elements (PSE) window and walk away. No mess.

Since I'm still just learning digital techniques, I try to find one new technique to try for each layout. This time I discovered the cookie cutter tool which I used to turn a regular 12"x12" polka dotted background paper into a strip with wavy edges on the top and bottom. There are a myriad of shapes that I could have chosen, and their sizes are all customizeable.
