i managed to finish this layout. nothing over the top … and no re-inventing the wheel. just your basic, regular old layout.

Haley_love 

kind of crazy how simple it is. and i didn't really have a lot to journal … so i kept it short and to the point. almost too much so. i feel like i should have added more … since there was room on that tag. but it's done … and it's in the book!

i actually picked these papers by a happy accident. i was browsing through smilebox the other day … remembering some of the books that i designed for the site. and i was looking through all of the making memories books … guessing what designer made each one. i came across one using the "cheeky" collection. when you go into smilebox, the program will automatically pull in some of your recent photos off your computer. and these photos of haley came up and plopped themselves into the book. i actually thought they went pretty nicely … so i pulled out the same papers from my stash and put them aside to use. solved all the guesswork that i would have done finding papers. lol!

Haley_love_detail 

and i came across this "love" title at the store the other day … and thought they were cute with all the glitter. it was sitting out … and sort of matched the papers … so onto the layout it went. i know, i have such an interesting process sometimes. lol! and there were 2 of them in the pack … so the other one is going on a card … to come later.

    This is so very cute! I want to use this site and try this out. This would speed things up so much for me. I just love the way you embossed the tags and used the tittle the way you did.
    Great Job!!!!
