This is your time to shine...

I got this amazing shot of Madison one day when we were walking to the bus stop to get Emily and I instantly knew I wanted to do some sort of page about time with it. I think it worked great!



I am SO in love with this layout!! First of all, I made it green...alllll of it, lol. I just adore the color green so I was really happy with that part of it for sure. ;) Second, it was so freeing to just throw everything down where I wanted to...no measuring to put something exactly in the center, or making sure everything was just right. The reason for this was actually a challenge in my scrapping group to do a slanted layout. Everything from the paper to the picture to the embellishments had to be slanted. It was a TRUE challenge for me, but I really loved doing it. I let my creative side take over and look what happened!

I seriously wish I could make myself do this more often. I just did one thing, and then another, and then kept adding more steps until the page felt complete. And I had so much fun with it! :) We'll see if I'm able to do it again or not though, lol...
