Tulips from 2005

As I worked on this layout, I realized that Jen and I have seemed to find one day during each of the last 4 spring breaks to spend time together, (almost every year since 2005). In 2005 we went to Mt. Vernon to view the tulips. Here is the layout I finally finished thanks to a color challenge and an Out of Your Box challenge to use specified quotes from my Close to My Heart site. This year we scrapped together but it's hard to take pictures when you are scrapping. The color challenge was to use Hollyhock, Sunkissed Yellow, Sweet Leaf, and Cranberry; Marjorie's 9th color challenge. (Am I behind or what??? She posts one challenge a week, YIKES!) The Out of Your Box challenge is by another incredible consultant, Pam Klassen. She posts quotes and challenges us to use them in our layouts or cards. This quote: Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain.
