giddy up!

life can get pretty stressful with responsibilities-demands it's nice to just get away and ride a mule.  my hubby and daughter rode for hours--even my middle boy got up on a horse for a while. I sat and took over 300 pictures--I was in my element watching my family having a FABULOUS time just--being.  the weather was cool, the storm clouds rolled in and made for some interesting back drops.  in fact the picture with the clouds in the back was one that I took with my phone and posted to instagram--pretty sweet!  today on the Elle's studio blog there is a sketch I took the challenge and came up with this layout:

The sketch inspired me to place my pictures and elements but I added a bit of "me" to it by adding more pictures and cameo cuts.

these arrow and hexagons are from the studio calico stamp camp cuts:

told my daughter that the little stamped heart was my favorite part of this layout--it has crackle accents inside of it!  it's the little things that make me happy! :)  that little enjoy sticker has been floating around my desk for a while and FINALLY found a home here:

 thanks for the visit today!
