No idea why I looked at this template set and decided to put a balloon garland across the two big photo spots. At least it shows how versatile Cheryl's templates are, right?
One Kit Many Ways
I went with: A non-Halloween themed use of the kit.

I'm not sure if I would have taken the photo of his hand holding mine if it wasn't one of the Pinterest Portfolio challenges but I am so glad that I did.

I won this kit as part of DSD bingo and could not wait to play with it. I don't usually use tags as design elements so this was a step outside my comfort zone.

Between starting a week early and reading late into the night (since my child does not want to sleep), I'm less than 10 days into the month and already had my first 10 spooky reads. I already have a part two and part three waiting in the wings to fill.

Sometimes I just get these ideas and have to run with them. I thought pairing a galaxy-themed kit with some holographic details would be absolutely magical and it is!

We didn't manage to camp in the Dry Tortugas for our 10-year wedding anniversary but we did stay in a cozy little cabin with dark-ish skies (and I got to hatch a baby alligator). Life is an adventure and I am trying to embrace it.
My new favorite look has be a Mickey Mouse graduation cap on (almost) 20 year old film. It was so much fun to piece this page together around this photo and I am so so so happy that I got to play with it.
This was my first time visiting Paynes Prairie in the winter and it's so different. I miss the lush greenery but I also love how the deer and wild horses show up against the more subdued colors and bare branches.
I could have saved this kit to scrap my birthday with next week but I just couldn't wait to play with it. So why not use 12 year old photos? I was having a lot of fun during my pre-DSD scrapping marathon ;)
