Work In Progress Layouts

It's Friday which means that I survived a full work week after having quite a few days off for Thanksgiving!  Now that the weekend is here, I hope I can squeeze in a few minutes of creativity in the packed weekend schedule. Meanwhile, I have a couple of layouts using the December Work in Progress kit to share today.  Both them are documenting our summer trip and our day in historical Philadelphia. 

I used the tags as frames in the first layout.  The kids were just goofing around on the pebble street and I took some pictures.  I finished it off with drops of mist.  It's a pretty simple layout.

We would have loved to visit the Franklin Museum but it was under renovation so we just hung out at the Franklin Court. I really like the picture I took of First Born sitting there, definitely one of my favorites from the trip.

I layered a few stickers from the Echo Park and the etsy tags included in the kit. I guess these stickers reminded me of invention which is a huge part of Benjamin Franklin's life. 

I should say that I quite enjoyed all the chevron stripes included in this kit and I tried to leverage them wherever I can in these layouts.  Chevron stripes seem to be all the rage right now in scrapbooking.  I bet my friend Deana would tell me that they are all the rage in the fashion world as well, she would know, that and twine! ;)

Have a great weekend everyone!  Stay warm!  Count your blessings if you are warm already, lol!
