Hello!

I’m back with two layouts for this month’s blog hop! Make sure you hop on over to the next person on the list after taking a look at the layouts I created using this month’s awesome sketch collection! Also, remember to use this link to enter a giveaway for a one-month trial subscription to Simple Scrapper*.

The topic for this month’s Story Starter is “Hope and Dreams”. I chose no. 4. Honor your ancestors who worked for the dreams you can realize today. The layout is about my maternal grandmother. That’s her in the photo, with my mom.

She died in 2004, over 90 years old. My mom keeps telling me that I look more and more like her, not only my face and mimicry, but also my style and general appearance.

I remember her as a stylish lady, so to be compared to her in an honor.

I also made a layout using one of the new sketches. I chose the sketch with two photos (single 2) and used photos of my niece from just a couple of weeks ago.

She and a friend were goofing around after a show jumping-competition. It’s so hard getting her to smile at photos, so this was a welcome sight!

That’s it from me for this month, but do hop on over to the other designers to see the other wonderful layouts!
