The Story Layout

I was asked to guest design for Heart's Quest Challenges Blog's latest challenge to use white, purple, and/or pink hearts. I decided to go with the white and purple, and even threw in a blue one just for fun! The photos are from a birthday party my kids attended (complete with a roasted pig), and I copied my original post from Facebook to tell the story of my son's humorous answer to a request I made.

Cheryl, what a lovely layout of the birthday party! Quite clever of Oliver to come us with a "reason" he needed to keep his prize. How can you question an answer like that??? Thank you for sharing your story and layout with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna
