The making of this layout turned out to be a little eerie. The photos were taken in November of 2009 and have just been sitting around waiting for me to make a layout. Well, Sunday and yesterday I spent some time on this layout. I just felt like it was time. After I finished it, I found out that Mr. Wilson passed away on Sunday. It felt kind of strange to me that I had this urge to do these particular photos, not knowing that Mr. Wilson had died... Anyway, I used embellishments from the American Crafts Chaps line which I totally love!!!!!! My journaling is a little difficult to read but I basically said Mitch was excited to win a scholarship when he participated in the Booster Bucks fundraiser for the Speech and Debate team. Not only did he help the team, he also was lucky to win the scholarship draw! I am entering this in the Scrapfit Good Ole' Boys challenge!
Thanks for visiting! I hope you are having a great day!
Thanks so much for working out with us at ScrapFIT! What a great contribution to this challenge!! :) What a great story behind the creation of your layout too <3
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful LO with so many memories captured. Our daughters participated in Speech and Debate, and Elizabeth still helps coach at her former club. They were in a home school league. So much fun. I judged at two of the tournaments this year. Thanks for working out with us at ScrapFIT - these colors are just perfect for the challenge!! ~ Blessings

Wonderful layout Kelly. How interesting that you felt compelled to scrap those photos at the time. Very eerie.
ReplyDeleteKelly, you really should try the flowers. They aren't hard at all. I just included so many steps so nothing would be assumed. Once I made a couple of these, it only takes 10 to 12 minutes to make one. I hope you'll give them a shot. :-) Blessings
ReplyDeleteNice layout. Kind of odd how things happen. Sometimes there are just no simple explanations.
