I have a question, when you have an item like the leaves on the layout of the boys (with the cut out tree) and other layouts where items seem lifted off the layout - do you put anything behind the item such as pop dots or are they made really sturdy with a backing to make them sort of stand out & up?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>MichelleMichellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11879239007056422727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12315882.post-23404310984485755302008-03-11T13:46:00.000+13:002008-03-11T13:46:00.000+13:00beautiful page.MsGracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16522825337839853322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12315882.post-4186236742689894012008-03-10T14:38:00.000+13:002008-03-10T14:38:00.000+13:00Wow, I love that page about Abby. She's such a cutie... and getting to be such a big girl now. It's amazing how fast they grow up!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you had a chance to get away spontaneously. You say it wasn't too much of an effort, but I'm sure it was, more than you let on. Good for you for doing it though... these trips are the stuff memories are made of, and I'm sure your kids will love looking back at the pictures (and the LOs, no doubt!)... and reading the stories, and they'll have such fond memories of their Uncle Vaughn's visit. :)<BR/><BR/>And yes, I can understand the sadness that comes with the end of a nice visit with family. Happens to me all the time. *sigh*barbhttp://scrappinbarb.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12315882.post-22705008383002608652008-03-10T09:54:00.000+13:002008-03-10T09:54:00.000+13:00i'm glad you took the time to go away and spend time with your bro! it's so important. to grab those moments when you can get them. and embrace them with all of your might! <BR/><BR/>i love the stories too. and you are a storyteller. i love to listen and read about your stories. so i'm glad you came back and wrote and wrote and wrote!<BR/><BR/>abby is just so darn beautiful. i love that layout and her expression and i can totally picture here showing off to her grandparents, all excited to introduce them to her world.<BR/><BR/>thanks for sharing your world with us!<BR/><BR/>congrats by the way on all of the layouts for the kids! way to go! you all deserve a big round of applause! it's great that those kids have all of you in their corner.<BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/>shaunaTeam Immelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10327442568357042087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12315882.post-55754357534654261432008-03-10T08:23:00.000+13:002008-03-10T08:23:00.000+13:00Glad you had a spur-of-the-moment escape with your bro!<BR/><BR/>I absolutely love this LO- I love the colors, the pics, everything...
