Hi!

This Week's Challenge at the "Use Your Stuff" blog is Back to School

No "Back To School" photos for me though!

Instead, I was inspired to create a 2-page Traveler's Notebook spread of this photo of my girls hanging out in the front yard on a bright, sunny August day. It was on the 24th, so almost the end of August, right before going back to school!

Left to Right: Ivanna, Madison, and Panini

I love this photo, though it's bittersweet for me:
Ivanna has since passed, and Madison and Panini are older and too cool to hang out like this now (yes, even Panini, the cat, LOL)!
But I'm so glad I have this moment in time captured.

As for the design, I had a lot of fun adding various embellishments to help frame the cute photo of my girls just lounging on a Lazy Friday afternoon.

I love the look of the multiple embellishments, plus it's a great way to use them up!

Speaking of using up "stuff"... that BG paper was a leftover piece from my stash.

Travelers Notebook layouts are a great way to use up scraps!

I hope this layout has inspired you to join us.
