Happy Birthday Mari!

Today is my sister-in-law's birthday! I won't give away her age, but she is really still at an age where you don't mind if people ask, but that won't last much longer! LOL! This layout was done for the pre-class challenge over at Got Sketch 103 (and yes, I did get my homework complete on time, even with a short power outage last night!). It is based on sketch #75 by Valerie Salmon at Got sketch. Tomorrow is our first class sketch for Got Sketch 103, and so I know I will be busy with it this week. For this layout created in Mari's honor , I used papers by October Afternoon from the August Personalscrapper kit. I absolutely love the journaling boxes from October Afternoon, they coordinate with your paper of course, but it is so fast and easy to jot down your journaling! Oh, and also in the pictures are my fur niece and nephew Junior aka June Bug to me and Sprint aka Sprinty to me. Aren't they the cutest? I am telling you June Bug is the most photgenic dog on the planet, I really think he likes having his picture taken! I will have something new to share with you for Use your stash Tuesday tomorrow, so check back and have a wonderful Monday!
