Layout of My DD

Friends gave me this gorgeous Colorbok paper collection for Christmas, and I couldn't resist digging in while I'm on break.  I thought these pictures of our older daughter from our Fall Break trip to Chimney Rock State Park (NC) were a great match.

I started with a sketch from Magic and used some Close To My Heart White Daisy cardstock and (retired) Floral Tapestry B&T from my stash.  I also ended up embellishing the layout with CTMH White Daisy grosgrain ribbon and purple sparkles.  Everything else came from the kit.

Can you believe there is NO stamping on this layout?!?  No ink at all was used!  What has come over me? LOL

It is so hard for me to believe how big this girl is getting!  Since I've been really, really bad to make layouts and not get them into albums (another project to work on!), I started a high school album for her.  I decided to start NOW for current layouts and move forward, while still backtracking as I get other finished (and future) layouts in her older albums.  I also went ahead and started a middle school album for our younger daughter to keep me on track.  (I am more organized with her layouts and books for some reason.  I think it's because I was a serious scrapper by the time she was born, but just getting my feet wet with DD #1.)

Okay, I think I just shared a New Year's resolution with you!  We'll see how it goes. ;)  Thanks for stopping by! 

My family and I wish you the best in 2013!
