Finally!

I know I say this a lot but I love how this layout turned out! I love the simplicity of it! And aren't those little houses adorable, even though they were a pain (read below to find out why). I find that most of my layouts I love. I don't know why ... just do! Are you like that?

Have you ever started something you wish you hadn't. Well I did for this layout! I started with making the little house on the bottom left by hand and I thought it was just too cute! I do have a Cricut but I loaned it out to a friend so I didn't have it to make my life simple. Because I liked this one little house I thought my layout needed more so I decided to do four more. That was a lot of work with a lot of teeny tiny cuts. I don't like that much fussing for a layout but I did it anyways. And to make matters worse, I had 2 of the 4 done when I spilt my drink on them! I might have to bring back my closable containers only rule! Yes I still think they are cute but next time I will be patience and wait to get my Cricut back!

Leaves are Falling

I love Fall! It has to be one of my favorite times of the year. The changing colors of leaves and crisp cool air just make me feel all warm inside. Wierd, I know. For some reason, the changing leaves do not stick around long here. I figure it has to do with the rolling winds we get off the Rocky Mountains. Much like my Grandparents used to do, Steve and I took a Sunday drive and ended up at Elbow Falls. Mother Nature did not disappoint and put on a colorful show for us, she even gave us snow capped mountains.



The paper I used is from Crate Paper's Brook Collection. I have been saving it for so long and am glad I finally found some photos worthy of it. I also used a sketch by Allison Davis to help with the layout as I'm sure you know, we all get a little stumped sometimes! Here's the link to her orignal layout.
