"First"

Well there is always a "first" for everything and this is my first. These are the pages I submitted to My Minds Eye for a layout contest. I didn't win needless to say but that is okay. I think some of my problem is over thinking myself and trying to scrapbook like the examples that were shown. I know that is never a good idea, we each have our very unique look on what we want our pages, cards and alter projects to look like. I think I have learned a valuable lesson. I still probably wouldn't have won but would have enjoyed my pages a lot more.

The first picture is Sarah and Troy at Christmas when we lived in Alliance NE and my second page is our grandson Isaac at Christmas here in Bartlett TN, he had an attitude and sure didn't look like the "Merry and Bright" caption. The layouts are still cute though and I do love My Minds Eye paper.
