Spring Break for my kids was the last week in March and it started out with snow - aack! Not what I wanted to see happen. It warmed up a bit through the week, but not much. Still, my friend Sarah and I braved the cold to go outside with the kids. I think we're all suffering from cabin fever. Hidden Pond is one of my kids favorite places to go. There's a great nature center where we can look at snakes, turtles, crayfish, and skinks. Have you ever heard of a skink? Neither had I! The pond is also fantastic for some fishing. Well...my kids use nets but that's ok. I'm not ready to hand them a pole with a metal hook on the end. Sadly we only found one little fish on this outing but the kids still had a great time.
I'm a huge fan of Crystal Wilkerson and I use her layouts as inspiration often. This one I outright copied, but I think I've mentioned before that I'm ok with that. :)
I wanted to incorporate some fun bright patterns into this page so I pulled open couple of kits that I loved when I bought, but haven't been able to figure out how to use - Neon Notes and Here and There. Both kits have really busy patterned paper and I've struggled to find a way to use them without overpowering my page. This is still a pretty busy layout, but I like the brightness of the page - makes it seem like our Spring Break was sunny and warm!
This month we're really excited to have Monika Davis join us as a guest blogger! She's really talented and I always love her layouts. Hope you have fun on today's hop!
