& could not resist

I know ya'll were waiting with baited breath for the use of that apersand I did a tutorial on here.

TA-DA!!!

I know - surprised me too. I did cut it down from the rectangle I had it on and dropped some mist and ink on it to make it work with the papers.

Basic Grey, Little Yellow Bicycle, and a punch - of which I used the extras. (I really need to figure out how to get itty bitty bits randomly strewn without looking NOT randomly strewn).

I also wanted to use the & in the title but not be so lame as to do a "you & me" etc. I had to dig deep for this photo. Long time ago. And so much fun.

That is my boy not resisting dipping his toe in the reflecting pool in D.C. Memaw and I were planted at the top of the Lincoln Memorial and I'm keeping an eye on him with my camera. Sigh. And he's so casual and nonchalant about it too.

Of course this photo is included in my roadtrip book of the entire adventure but felt it needed a page of its own. The story is just too much fun.

I'm glad the ampersand found a home on a wonderful layout! Love the layering bit you did over the tag. Fun title work too! Have a great weekend, Lynn!
