Magic Monday

Boy, Monday sure seems to roll around quickly!!

Yesterday was a wonderful day.  Our oldest granddaughter graduated from high school.  It doesn't seem possible that she's old enough to graduate!  Or, that I have an 18 year old granddaughter, or a daughter old enough to have a graduating senior!  Where does the time go?

Here's today's Magic Monday layout.  It's a traditional layout created using CTMH's Later Sk8r paper packet.  I love the fun color combination this paper pack has.  That's Outdoor Denim, Pear, and Lagoon.

Well, I better get off the computer and get busy.  It's going to be a hot one in upstate NY.  YEA!  Bring on the summer.  Have a wonderful day, everybody!

Later S8tr

How fun is this paper?!!  What a great combination of colors, and so fun to work with.  Love the paint splatters!

I did this one using Studio J as it was quick and handy.  Now I'll pull out my papers and recreate it traditionally.  That's what's great about Studio J®, you can plan out your pages to make sure you'll have enough of one color of paper.  No mess ups with cutting!

The paper used is called Later Sk8r.  Be sure to check it out online as there's a great framed layout on the page.
