This is for this week’s Inspiration Found challenge—to use a page from Elliesmom’s gallery for inspiration (okay, I mean SCRAPLIFT a page! lol) I enjoyed Jennie’s gallery, and found a page [Gallery at Splitcoaststampers I thought would be perfect for these two photos I’ve been wanting to scrap since I started scrapbooking but just never got to. I stuck pretty close to Jennie’s layout and theme. I also used some products from a paper collection that I’ve owned for over two years!
Journaling: * Well, Mady, maybe you didn’t really have a tantrum – it was more like FRuSTRaTIoN !!
It was the first time you’d ever come for a visit to our house without Mommy, & we were just getting to know you. Actually, you hadn’t even moved to Arizona yet—you were just visiting.
Since it really wasnÂ’t hurting anything, Grandma let you pull the books out of the bookcase while she finished something in the kitchen. You were having a ball, until youÂ’d pulled out so many books that they were piled up every which way, & you couldnÂ’t get close enough to the bookcase to pull out the rest! You tried to stand on the books, but they slipped out from under you & you finally just started bawling in frustration. You were sure ANGRY at those books!*
