A Little Flower and Some Beauty

The next two senior layouts (I promise, I will do other layouts again someday!) are quick ones I did this morning while waiting for a friend to drop by.

A Little Flower uses some shots we took at a old, small, rural cemetary near here. Someone had made sure this cemetary was well-seeded with wildflowers and there were some gorgeous beds of irises as well. We got there just before sunset and got some nice shots. I'll do another layout with both kids' pictures from that trip soon. I've had these silk bluebonnet petals for years and decided they'd work well for this layout. The patterened paper I got in a gift exchange with a friend several years ago as well, so this layout is helping me use up some of that stash!
Inner Beauty is more senior photo shoot pictures. These are some of Dad's favorite shots. Kat loved the hat, so we built this outfit around it. The caboose is part of the local museum and the others are taken in a little run-down shack. She just looks so serene, peaceful and happy in these shots. They're simple, so a simple LO seemed ideal. The paper is from Me and My Big Ideas. The grey is all flocked so this is has a nice texture to it. I've had the chipboard tag for years (again, using up that stash!) It's from the old We R Memory Keepers Urban Window set. I think that may have been the first set of chipboard I bought. The key is from DCWV's Once Upon A Time set. The boarder is K&Company.

Inspiration

I know sermons are SUPPOSED to inspire us, but this morning's sermon had a secondary inspiration: a layout. I took these pictures (and more) at an old cemetary near here that was covered with bluebonnets, irises and other flowers recently. I just haven't had time to do anything with the pictures yet. So when I opened my Bible and read this morning's scripture, my mind started going. Yes, I paid attention to the sermon as well. It was very good. I flipped over the outline of the sermon that was in the bulletin and sketched out this layout. Then this afternoon, I put it all together. The scripture quoted is excerpted from Colossians 3:15-24. It says: Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts...Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly...And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him...Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord...

I'm hoping to get several LO's done the next couple of weeks, so check back often, I might just get something done!
