Sugar and Spice

And no, I am not talking about the Gingerbread Spice latte's from my local Starbucks. Although, they are mighty tasty. lol... I am talking about my sweet girl. Hard to believe she will be 18 in just a few months. After this past weekend, with everyone telling her that she was just like her Aunt, I wanted to create a layout to let her know that she should not forget to just be herself.
I used the Farmhouse collection by Crate Paper ( I just "heart" this collection). Everything came from that kit except for the little brown block with the leaf punched through it. I then stitched around the page and through some of the elements to give it a homemade look. I love how it turned out!

So, hug those babies because ladies (or Gents), they really do grow up so fast. Now, I am off to finish my latte. :)

Such a cute layout! And that is such a cute collection.
I can't believe you have an 18 year old :)

And I know what you mean. Mine are only 9 and 4, but I find myself becoming weepy a lot lately at how fast time is flying!!!

I LOVE me some gingerbread latte. My favorite! But your layout is fabulous too. Great photos of your girl and I love the message - something we should always remind ourselves of.
