Your Smiling Face

One of my favorite songs of all times is "Your Smiling Face" by James Taylor.  We (my husband, my friends Barb and Jimmy, and my sister, Karen and her husband) went to see him in concert at the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia in 1997 . . . and he played that song!!!  Karen and I were thrilled.  WOOHOO! 


Here is a layout that I made using this song as my title:


I was inspired by a layout I saw on scrapbook.com made by Debbie Weinhold entitled Wild Flower!  I found out that her page was made for the design team at "My Creative Sketches," so I went to their blog and found this fun sketch for the month of June:



They have monthly sketch challenges - if you are interested in participating, check out their blog here!!

But the biggest inspiration for my layout is that great big smile of Anne's!  Isn't it contagious?  The pictures were taken at school as part of their "Spring Portraits" and I think they did an amazing job!  My school pictures at that age were not so great . . .LOL!!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today . . . . . . . . have a great Tuesday!

I just found out that my layout was featured at My Creative Scrapbook sketches!!!!  What a wonderful honor!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Wow- best school pics ever! The ones coming home from my son's school are hideous, just like I remember them from my days as a student. ;)

    Love the song too (& Annie on the layout!) She's a great model. I got the album he and Carol King made for PBS. (Lots of memories there!)

    Back when we were in elementary school I think that photographers were required by law to take really bad school photos so they could be mocked in the future on the interwebs and on Ellen!!! LOL!!!

    YES! That smile is contagious!!! It totally made 'me' smile when I saw it!!! Sweetest layout, Alison's comment is spot on, whimsical!

    Those photos are so much better than the school photos that they take at our schools. I have photo envy. LOL Your layout is really wonderful. I always love your style.
