Tense

We began our vacation last summer in New York, but not in New York City. We rented a car when we arrived in Rochester and kept it until we got to New Jersey. Lizzy had advised us not to try to drive in the city, so we planned to return the rental car in New Jersey and then take the train. Everything was just fine until we hit the New Jersey border. Oh. My. Goodness! We are not used to the amount of traffic there, and we were a bit confused about which lane we needed to be in to get to our exit. I was so glad I was not driving. I captured a couple of shots of Terry during this harrowing time. To tell the truth, I was laughing at him because he was so completely stressed, but I was also glad I was not in the driver's seat! He was awesome and we got to the car rental return safely. We were never so glad to get rid of a car as we were that day.


Today's challenge at Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog is to scraplift this layout by Crystal


Crystal used this sketch for her layout.


I began by creating a mini kit in a masculine theme. I had to do this because I really don't have much left of my June kit. Now, I know I said this is a mini kit, but in my defense, I have a lot of stuff to choose from. If I didn't put it into my kit to begin with, I would have had to go and fetch it. As it was, I had to add some bakers' twine, LOL! 


Thanks for looking and leaving a comment!

Poor Terry! I like the colours you've used in the layout and the addition of the banner.

Love the first LO! So creative to take a picture of him stressed out and do a LO of it. Love it!
