(I Love...) Blowing Summer Bubbles

This layout was for a challenge at the fabulous Scrap101. It's based on a Queen Geek sketch.

Journaling Reads

"Hunter was so excited to see all the bubble blowing gear that Grandma and Grandpa had bought in anticipation of his visit. He and Grandpa had a blast blowing bubbles of all shapes and sizes out in the front yard. What a fun way to spend a lazy summer afternoon in California!"

Famous Last Words

This layout was one that I did for a contest. It didn't win, but I like it anyways!

Journaling Reads

...If you are going to give of yourself, do so COMPLETELY - if it doesn't work out no one can say there was more you could have done...life's a journey, NOT a destination...believe in something greater than yourself...if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well...never let anyone stand between you and your dreams...never burn a bridge; you may need to cross it again someday...stop at lemonade stands...embrace challenges...love more than you think is possible...NEVER give up hope - there is always a silver lining and a light at the end of every tunnel...believe in magic...
