I Let My Feet Go And Get Carried Away

As with many creative hobbies, there are layouts I like, layouts I'm not too happy with, and layouts that make me smile. Then, there are layouts that I LOVE. That came out perfect - exactly as I picture it. That capture what I was trying to say perfectly, and simply can not be improved on.

This is one of those.

I have to give credit to my scrappin' buddy Fantacy on this one. Her comment in the post this series of pictures originally appeared in gave me the inspiration for the layout. So, thank you Fantacy, for inspiring the best layout I've done yet.

Dance, Like no one is watching.

This layout didn't come out perfect, but the story behind it makes me smile. I can hear my dad telling this story every time I look at it - and that is worth its weight in gold. I was inspired by the Stanley Cup template posted by DeltaDawn. I've never been a hockey fan, but it reminded me of this story, and I had to use it.

Score! Bobby Orr!

Journaling:
TV announcer: "He shoots! He scores!"
LPF (~ 1-2 yo, looks up from her playing): "Score Bobby Orr!"
Dad: "No, honey. Score (Ken Hodge / Wayne Cashman / Other Hockey Player)."
LPF (arms raised in celebration): "Score Bobby Orr!"
Dad: "No, no. Not Score Bobby Orr. Score (Ken Hodge / Wayne Cashman / Other Hockey Player)."
LPF (excitedly): "Score Bobby Orr!" “Score! Bobby Orr!”
Dad (laughing and sighing at the same time): "Ok, ok. Score Bobby Orr!"
(repeat all season long, regardless of which player actually scored, which team scored, or if the Bruins were even playing that night.)
