Here are a couple of layouts I made with this kit for inspiration:

Andrea is going to be tickled pink when she sees herself with wings again. She is really convinced she's a fairy lately.

I'm not sure if you've noticed but most of the photos I use in my layouts are actually off-takes. Those unexpected shots usually look more natural and you catch the subjects in poses or positions you normally don't see in posed photos. The photo above is one such example. I didn't even know I had that photo. I was looking for pictures to use and I opened one folder dated last year and it looked like my husband was practicing with the camera settings using Andrea as a subject while she was playing on the floor looking dishelved. The set had a lot of photos of Andrea at play and I think those will be perfect when I create scenes in layouts. Lesson learned: you find artistic inspiration even in the most unexpected scenarios.

My last-minute submission for the June Challenges... and when I say last minute, I mean that almost literally.

I submitted this layout to Berry Sweet Scraps' Scraplift Challenge for June on June 30, 11:38 PM my time.

The quote is from one of my all-time favorite songs, Anyway. And just in case you're wondering, no, I don't really sing :) The photo was taken at my cousin's wedding in 2008.
