I am so excited to share this layout with you all. I rarely do them because I don't have that many pictures I want to scrap. But this picture was so special I had to spotlight it. Over at Scrapping the Moments, Jess has an August challenge to create a layout using the word "Be" in your title. This word means something to me because I am trying to encourage myself to just BE. Be in the moment and experience the moment. So many times I am in the past or the future stressing about stuff. Then I catch myself and have to say "Be Kelly, Be."
On this day I went to church with my hubby for the first time in a long while. This church that we went to is so cool. You can hear the service outside and inside. So I chose to enjoy the experience outside on their beautiful park-like setting. I actually laid on my red blanket during some of the service and just let myself "Be." Awwwww, it was so peaceful and calm. I experienced church in a new way and I loved it. If you are in the So Cal area and have never been to Saddleback Church, it is worth the visit. Amazing place!
The layout was so fun once I got this Cosmo Cricket patterned paper. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to use it. Then today, I wanted to cut some of the flowers out to embellish. I added brown distressing ink to the edges and little pearls as the center. So my fun making these flowers. My layout was almost done and I still didn't know what to do with that black scallopped strip. But after I looked at this sketch at My Mind's Eye Blog I decided to lay it horizonal. Perfect fit.

Thanks for looking! Have a beautiful day and just "BE."
