I'm starting a vacation album from this past summer, so I thought I'd start with this picture.  This picture was taken right after we arrived in Williamsburg, Virginia.  We ate at this delicious restaurant called Food for Thought - it was delicious, home cooked food and our company with each other was delightful!

My inspiration for this page came from another Scrapbook Trends magazine layout.  I used Tempting Turquoise for the stamp as well as the color spritzer tool.  I made a little hodge podge banner with scraps and bits around my desk. 

The flowers I made with my Floral Frames die cuts.  For the fabric flower above the picture, I spiral cut it and wrapped it around on a Jumbo Sticky Round.  It gave it really nice dimension.

Life Shared layout

I made this layout a while back, but I am just now getting around to posting it.  The pictures in the layout to the viewer are pretty blah.....but you have to realize my daughter was making her first forts!  I remember making those as a child.  Do you?  I have great memories of that!  Sure, it leaves the house in a wreck for a while, but those forts are so much fun!  Halleigh even had to take her little brother in the fort to play! 

I thought this Life Shared stamp was just perfect for this particular layout.  I watercolored it using blender pens and the ink welled up on an ink pad.  I also added a few doodles around the frame of the wagon to add a little life around it.
