I got up early this morning knowing exactly what layout I wanted to knock out. I used this layout sketch #24 from Frosted Designs:
I had just a couple of hours to make the layout, photograph it, blog about it and upload it to the challenge which you can see HERE. The deadline is noon today but we are going to see my in-laws soon and watch the Bears {hopefully} win a football game. So time is short this morning.
I love the way it turned out -- this is a photo from last year when I got to spend a weekend with my family courtesy of my employer, ABC Supply. I had to attend a week long training course in Beloit, Wisconsin the first week of October 2010. I stayed on for the weekend to celebrate Cole's 5th birthday. We went to an apple orchard in northwest Indiana. It was a real treat for me since we don't have orchards or pumpkin patches here in Florida. Abby was NOT happy at all for the biggest part of the day. She was in the full blown "terrible two" stage but we had a good day anyway. I love this picture ...everyone looks great and is smiling except for our resident two year old with her messy hair. She was trying desperately to escape daddy's arms because she did NOT want to have her picture taken. I love to see her fierce independence -- channeled correctly it will take her far in life.
Awwww.....this is such a sweet layout Sandi! And LOVE those paper you used too!
ReplyDeleteLove the crisp clean feel of the layout. I love the title card too:) I had to laugh about your comment of not having apple orchards or pumpkin fields. We use to live in northern Indiana in Amish country. When we moved to Central Indiana my kids asked where the the Amish buggies were! LOL I'll have to make sure they know that not every where has pumpkin fields either, lol. Great that you got to spend such a special time with your kids while on job training:)
