While strolling through the gallery here, I found this beautiful digital layout by Beth Santos-Gugol.  I was discussing it with the other Masters, when Jamie & I realized we picked the same layout.  Upon Annabell's suggestion, Jaime and I decided to show you how 2 lifts of the same layout can be different. 

the original Beauty & Wonder by: Beth Santos-Gugol

I love that the focus is on the photograph.  To me this layout represents complicatedly simple.  I can see the many layers and the work that went into the layout, yet it is beautifully simple.  I love how bright and cheery the layout feels!



So here is my lift.  Like Anabelle, I changed the girl them to a boy theme.  I love this picture I took of my nephew with those killer blue eyes.  I wanted him to remain the focus.  I flipped the layout so the photo was on the bottom right.  I loved the flowers on Beth's digital page so I threw one on (and I am totally ok with flowers for boys!).  I wanted to keep the ideas of simple layers but also knew I wanted to add in my own thoughts so I placed the journaling down the side leading to the picture.  Even though we were both inspired Beth's beautiful layout, Jaime & I came up with two different layouts, putting our own touches on the lift.  Thank you Beth for providing us inspiration!
