have i mentioned that i still don't have my laptop back? it's been over 3 weeks, and it might be another week. they thought it was fixed and gave it back to me. turns out it wasn't fixed and i sent it back. now they're waiting on a new screen. just stinks. so much harder to do things efficiently when you're not on your own computer, with your own programs, and your own bookmarks. anyways, i dug out the external hard drive so that i could share this.
this layout went up on the jillibean soup blog today. this layout started out a lot different in my head. somewhere along the line, i decided to lift myself. THIS has always been a favorite layout of mine. i had other plans to embellish this. and then my laptop went down. and for some reason, this threw me off my scrappin game. i couldn't even print the journaling for a few days. but it's a layout, and i still love it.
alyssa loves "twilight", and i wanted to get that down on a layout somewhere. she had borrowed the first book from the library, quite a while after this all started becoming so popular. then she blazed through the first book, borrowed the second book, and then we bought her the third and forth books. of course, she has all 4 books of her own now. she has read them all two times through. she wears her twilight shirts at least once or twice a week. she has collectors books and trading cards (thanks to her dad, who gets them for her without her even asking!). i can't even tell you how many times she's seen the movie, and she's waiting so patiently for "new moon" to come out. she also has posters in her room on the walls and her closet. and haley naps in there. every time i go to lay her down, she tells me "i don't like that man". she's referring to the big poster of jacob. i guess i can see how that might be scary to have a vampire dude staring at you while you're sleeping. lol! he's a vampire, right? sorry, i know nothing about this stuff. thank you wendy and sasha - jacob is a werewolf, NOT a vampire. lol! i knew that didn't sound right when i typed it. so i take it off the wall (it hangs on a cord). and every night, alyssa hangs it back up. lol!

Laura
This is a fun layout. I like the use of photos and the balance of color. You always do amazing things. One of the many reasons I return daily.:)
So sorry about your laptop. What hard time you must be going through. I hope things work out for you soon.

Awesome LO, Laura. And, um, yeah, I have yet to be bitten (pun intended) by the Twilight bug. I have all the books, but can't seem to find the time to read them. Hope you get your laptop back soon. I would feel as if my right arm was missing if I had to go without mine. LOL!

Very cute. I have only half read one Twilight (more into Anita Blakes brand of vampire - Alyssa is too young for these!!!) Love checking to see what you have created.

I love the apple embellishment and the colors...very fitting for this theme. If I could I would hang Edward's poster in my room. He is total eye candy ;)
I'm in Breaking Dawn now and that book is huge but its so good!!
Anyway, I'm so sorry about your laptop. That stinks :(
