Polkadots and Moonbeams . . .

Happy New Year everyone! I hope your year is getting off to a great start!

Polkadots and Moonbeams . . .

One thing I love about all the Lily Bee papers is that there is always at least one paper in each collection with polkadots. Polkadot patterned paper is so easy to mix with other patterns. In fact, you can mix the polkadot papers from different lines. On this layout I mixed the polkadot papers from Christmas Town and Domestic Bliss:

OUT FOR PUBLICATION

These pictures are near and dear to my heart.  They are photos of my stepfather with my daughter when she was two-years old (she's now 8).  They liked to play "Monkey See, Monkey Do."  My stepfather would walk with his arms folded and then my daughter would copy him and walk with her arms folded.  He'd move his hands behind his back and she'd move her arms behind her back, and so on and so on.  My daughter always kept a straight face, but the rest of us would crack up every time she copied his actions. My mom and stepfather loved these two pictures, so they framed them and proudly hung them on their living room wall where they've been displayed for the past 6+ years.

Sadly, my stepfather passed away a couple months ago.  As a gift to my mom, I made this layout for her and put it in a shadow box frame to go on the wall.

Have a wonderful week!
