Hearts of the West Blog Hop - Swan Lake

Welcome to the Hearts of the West blog hop featuring Swan Lake. If you are following the hop you probably arrived from Corinna's page. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy all of the artwork!

This month's focus is on Swan Lake, what beautiful fall colours in a non-traditional pattern!  Again, I am the lover of using up scraps, I made the Work shop your way layouts and had enough for another one page layout and a few picture my life cards.  And to be honest I still have lots of scraps left haha.

This is a 12x12 layout and is sized for a 5x7 photo
 
Just a bit closer on the details, the hello is from one of the PML cards.

Some of the Picture My Life Cards and/or card fronts.

I will definitely use the strips at the top of the paper for paper weaving again :)

Be Happy. Good Life advice right there :)

Blessed we are family.

I found the word Great in the word Gratitude.  I wasn't sure how to use Gratitude, so I looked for other words, and Great won! (and the day was trimmed from today - talk about custom haha)
