Happy Forever

The September challenge for My Creative Scrapbook came together so well.  The pictures feature my youngest daughter and our sweet little chihuahua, Jumbo! Lil J and I went to Cleveland to visit my daughter last fall and it was the perfect day to spend some time outside visiting the beautiful parks in the area. I never leave home without a camera and was delighted with the pictures I was able to get. Here is the sketch I based my layout on from http://mycreativesketches.blogspot.com/

Beauty is Everywhere

The September Sketch Challenge from MME was the perfect sketch for me to use some of my MME stash that I have been holding onto! The paper really enhanced the picture that was taken last fall  at Berea  Falls Overlook just outside of Cleveland, OH. It was a beautiful fall day as I was visiting my daughter at collegeso we made our rounds to some very scenic places and snapped a few pics! I was a little dismayed that I only had my little point and shoot camera on me instead of my nice camera but was pleasantly surprised that I captured some great shots!

Today's layout was created using inspiration from the sketch at My Creative Sketches. http://mycreativesketches.blogspot.com/
