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.
