My Bucket List has evolved over the years.  I recently lost 77lbs and I have a ton of energy and am ready to "live" again, not just observe.  One thing that I wanted to do was ride a segway.  While we were on vacation I had the chance.  I almost offered to stay back with our youngest (who was too young to ride) but my husband must have known I really wanted to.  He encouraged me to ride when it would have been so easy to just take photos!!!

I am a 2-page scrapper, but this time I did not use my Gyspy at all to create my layout ~ very weird for me!!  I did use my Imagine for the title.


From the Imagine More cartridge, I found a "Spread Your Wings" image that I liked!  I cut it out with some other projects to save paper!

I pop dotted it to the top of my layout, but it needed a little sparkle!

I added some stickles!  This is fun for me as I am usually scrapping for my boys!
The butterfly really sparkled when it was dry!

This lady was so patient with me as my boys zipped by me!!

Here is my journaling.

I finally relaxed enough to smile!

I added some Tim Holtz flowers and ric rac on the bottom of my layout!

Now for the Blog Candy.......

  16. Great layout and how fun it must have been to ride the Segway! I want one... not sure why but I do. I don't really have a bucket list but the one thing I want to do more than anything before I die is to visit the UK as that's where my ancestors lived.
