A Few Layouts

Well I am enjoying my Spring Break scrapping with my mama and BFF Shelby!!! I've gotten 11 layouts done so far with the B-Day crop over at JS!!! I've got 1 more left for the B-Day crop and then I gotta find some more scrappy challenges to do!

Here's a few of the ones that I have gotten done in the past 2 days:

These last 2 are actually front and back, I was doing it for a challenge and it didn't meet the requirements so I scrapped on the back of it.

The Journaling reads:

"Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family." - Anthony Brandt
As I grow older I realize just how important my family is. Sometimes I may get upset or even angry with my mom, dad, or even my brother, but I stop and think about the situation and realize that it isn't worth it to fight, or argue with them. I try my best to spend as much time as I possibly can with them because I never know when that family time will quit and never come back. It may seem like I am strong and ready to grow up and live life on my own, but deep down inside I am very frightened and scared of what might happen. I look around me and see how wonderful my mom & dad and my nana & papa get along and lover each other, but I wonder if and when I will find someone that treats me with the respect like my dad and papa treat my mom and nana with the respect they have earner and deserve. I realize that I am 17 years old, but I feel as if I was still a little girl sitting on my mama's lap. I am closer to being an adult than a child, but sometimes it is hard to make important choices. I've made my fair share of not so good decisions, but my FAMILY is always there to lead me on the right path and to comfort me after I've come to my senses and realize I was int he wrong. I am very lucky to have such an amazing family that loves and cares about me. I am so thankful that my mom and I can be great friends no matter how many arguements we get into. My FAMILY is the most important thing to me, they lift me up when I have fallen down, they dry the tears from my eyes, and tell me everything will be okay. My mom and dad are my biggest heroes and I have no clue what I would do without them. I love and cherish every moment I spend with them and always make sure to never go to bed angry with them because you never know if you will have the chance to talk to them or apologize to them when you wake up the next day. Mom and Dad I love you with all of my heart and I wish that our friendships will continue to grow as we all get older. - Love Caitlin

Twilight LO

Well tonight I knocked out another challenge for the JS b-day crop! This one was for Cristal's weekly challenge and we had to add a POP of green... I started out with a different LO, but there ended up being too much green, so I will use that for another challenge when I finish it up!!

This was so much fun to make!!!

Journaling Reads:
About three things I was absolutely positive : First, Edward was a vampire; second, there was a part of him -- and I didn't know how dominant that part might be -- that thirsted for my blood, and third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him!" That was a quote from the Twight Movie and is also found in the book!

Well I think that is it for the night, I don't feel like I've accomplished much, but maybe I can finish up some of the other challenges this weekend, plus with Spring Break being next week I know I will be scraping alot with my BF!!

Thanks for lookin and have a great night!!!!

After the time was up there were so many beautiful LO's and all of the ladies did some wonderful work!!! Cee randomized the names, and I won!! I'm so excited about this, I don't even care about a prize.. I'm just so happy that I won!!!
