(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...

Altered Lunchbox Album

This is a present I made for my best friend Tyson for his 25th birthday. Inside are tabbed dividers, one for each letter of the alphabet. Then for each letter I listed all his good qualities that began with that letter and, of those, picked the one that meant the most to me and journaled a little paragraph about it.
