So. Kate and her friend H are obsessed with their American Girl dolls. H’s mom has been trying to convince me for months that we needed to take the girls to the American Girl Doll Store in Houston (about 3 hours away) and she finally wore me down. 😉 Time for a road trip! Since we are totally crazy, we decided to take the twins and her 2 year old along as well. And since our daughters are also crazy, they decided to coordinate everyone’s outfits. We looked a bit like a Gymboree commercial. lol.
It’s not February, but I have a ton of Valentine’s Day supplies (what can I say, I love pink!) and I’m trying to use up some of my stash instead of buying new things constantly. And the whole American Girl experience is so girly that it seemed perfect,
I’ve been saving the scraps of this transparency forever and I finally decided to go ahead and use it. I’m so glad I did! I’ve been trying to actually USE my supplies instead of just hoarding them. Maybe I’ll need to shop again in another 3 years. lol.
I ended up making 3 layouts for the trip even though we were just there for a few hours. In the past, I would have combined the photos onto one spread, but I was having so much fun with my Valentine’s Day papers that I spread them out. I also found 3 different stories to tell. I used coordinating papers, but did not try to make a 2 page layout. I’ll post more tomorrow and Friday!
