Layout: You Are Beautiful

For the Color Line Designs March Add-On Challenge our layouts had to include: a gem, hinge, flower, ribbon, glitter and a staple. I made this layout of my daughter Ashleigh for this challenge and

I call it You Are Beautiful.

Journaling: This is one of my favorite pictures of you. It was one of those rare occasions when you were actually cooperative and posed for me. You are beautiful and I love it when you smile.

Layout: Road Trip

I made this layout using Journey Traveled by Paris Designs. This and other great kits by Paris Designs can be found at Deco-Pages.

I remember this day so well. My daughter was bored because all of her friends had gone to Myrtle Beach for Spring Break so my husband and I decided to surprise her and take a mini road trip!

Journaling: It was Spring Break...and one of those rare times we acted on impulse. We told Ashleigh to pack an overnight bag & hopped in the car. We then drove four hours to Reading so we could shop at the local outlet malls. We checked into a hotel and I relaxed with a book. Rick & Ashleigh went for a swim and enjoyed the hot tub. We picked up some brochures and Ashleigh made a list of the stores she wanted to go to. We shopped most of the day and then headed back home. Needless to say it was quite late when we finally got home and we were tired but we all enjoyed our Spring Break road trip!

ADSR Challenge 1 layout: Wednesday's Child

This is the layout I made for this season's first challenge. I've been to the race gallery and there are a lot of great layouts...make sure you go to Ndis to check them out!

Journaling: Almost everyone has heard the poem called Monday‘s Child. It starts like this: “Monday’s child is fair of face; Tuesday‘s child is full of grace....”. You were born on a Wednesday and Wednesday’s child is full of woe. But I think because of your love of horses it should be ‘full of whoa’. You’ve been drawn to horses all of your life. As a toddler you would sit on the rocking horse for hours. When you got older you wanted to take riding lessons and go to horse camp. And now, you are attending college majoring in Equine Sciences. Whoa...doesn’t it make you wonder just a little bit if being a Wednesday’s child has anything to do with it?

Layout: Childhood Is A Magic Castle

I think every mother can relate to this layout. I call it Childhood Is A Magic Castle. It shows various photos of my daughter as she was growing up. They grow up so fast!
