Another quick layout that I did last night. With this I think I am officially done with 2009 layouts. I am going to hide any photos I have left in order to make me print some 2010 photos. My Studio Calico March kit will be here any day so I need to get my butt in order and get some photos to scrap with, we wouldn't want that kit to sit untouched. Oh I used my Studio Calico February kit and tried (emphasis on tried) to make some paper and ribbon flowers.

I owe you all an Allison 4 month update... really how is she that old already!

Christmas 2009

Just a quick layout I did last night. No sketch or scraplift here, just used what I had. Very very simple, which gets it done!
