Have you EVER?
Created a layout or project that you ABSOLUTELY LOVED the way it came out!! I did that today. I was doing the happy dance around my scrap area!! Soo loved doing this layout. Love it!
It says" My Hubby says he can read me like an Open Book!" I took a challenge at ScrapinStyleTV to use a book cover on a project or layout or whatever. I had an extra book that I was going to alter so I used its cover. I cut a hole in it and covered the hole with an old school Lil Davis book collage transparency. The background is the Love, Elsie embossed white "Brainstorm" paper from her Zoe line. I painted 9 squares different colors and wiped off the paint with a baby wipe. This is a trick I leared in Emily Falconbridge's BPS class! It has a glaze-y effect and was perfect for what I had in mind for the page. I used a bunch of buttons as a border and when you pull back the cover, I have some hidden journaling bits about me and some Prima flowers. Can I just tell you how much I Love this LO!!!
I love it too, Laura! What a great layout!

I emailed you back after your comment but the email was returned. It said you email wasnt correct. Anyway, I figured I'd just copy and paste what it said here so you get it. Thanks!
Laura, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to read my blog and comment. It's good to know that others can relate. Words can't express the pain I'm feeling these days. Comments like yours are helping me little by little. Thank you
