{Simple Scrapper} Oh Lucky Me

Hello! Happy Tuesday to you. Well, hell might have frozen over ... since I managed to create two layouts this month AND blog about them. Crazy, I know right?! This layout is one I did for Simple Scrapper, using a Premium Template and Story Starter from the January 2016 collection. The photo is from our trip to Yellowstone this summer and it's paired with a letter I wrote to myself.

Journaling reads: Dear Me: Man. Life didn’t turn out the way I expected. Not even close. But guess what? It’s a good thing it didn’t, since all the detours and mishaps led me to exactly where I needed and wanted to be. If I had it to do all over again, I tell myself to lighten up. Stop worrying so much about what other people think. Laugh as much as you can. Be silly. Don’t rush into BIG decisions. Do what you love. Hold onto the people who matter and keep in touch with your friends. Make an effort, even when you don’t feel like it. Don’t give up on the things that matter most. Even when you feel like you have nothing left to give, dig deeper — you’ll surprise yourself. You’ve got this. Most of all: this world needs you & all your crazy ideas.
