08/23/17 - "The 4th 2017"

 

Hi!

It's just me, trying to keep up w/ my commitment to myself to share some of my completed layouts.

Hope all is well!

 

"The 4th 2017"

Journaling:
"Fourth of July in our neighborhood means sparkly fireworks both on the ground and in the sky; yes the illegal kind, what do you expect in San Bdno?! Note: the illegal ones are not ours! Also the only day a year I can wear my 4th of July Snoopy T-shirt"


Most items are from one of the 4 kits from the July "The ScrapRoom" kit (see bottom left):

Two Fun Facts about this page:

1) Fourth of July photos are rare as I hardly ever, like mostly never, take photos on the Fourth now that the kids are pretty much grown; I didn't take a whole lot of photos when they were younger either though...because there's only so many photos of kids watching fireworks or playing w/ sparklers you can take before it's becomes "old"

2) Of the photos I did take, and created layouts for, I hardly ever used a traditional Red, White, and Blue color combo

I broke both those rules here... and I'm actually happy about it!
