Declan Saint Paddy's

I did this page for three reasons - # 1 Declan is so cute and it's his St Paddy's day picture solo, and #2 there was a challenge on a website using these colors and #3 Brian TOLD ME TO. Brian also told me to include the St Brigid's cross and he gave me the title. He gave me advice on cropping, etc etc etc! :) Brian likes to digital scrapbook too, I think! :)

Early Spring...

Journaling says : "One Sunday in March, we had some long-awatied nice weather and YOU wanted to go outside and (because you ARE in love with them) you wore your rainboots and I had to wear MY boots too. There were puddles so we stomped in them (oh JOY)! We got our first taste of spring AND all we can do is HOPE for more...soon!"
I used a technique called hidden journaling. The bold and highlighted words make up a little sentence - You Are My Joy And Hope.
