Graphic 45 Featured Layout - Let Your Spirit Soar

Welcome back for another day of inspiration featured on the Graphic 45 blog!!  YAY!! Hope wherever you are your not melting away!  I know here it has been 95 degrees with high humidity and smog alerts, which means hiding out in the house making more G45 creations, and only going out if you have to.  Unfortunately the grass needs mowed so tomorrow early morning is the time.  Maybe it will be early enough I won't just melt away! 
Things here have been hectic with teaching classes, doing shows and keeping up with sales on Etsy.  Sometimes I feel like a one man band, but am really loving every minute of it!  And I can't forget to mention all the amazing help my boyfriend David has been giving trying to get us caught up!  The last week exhaustion has taken me, and I have broken out with cold sores in my nose of all places and am having a really hard time staying awake all day long.  On top of that this week has been nothing but hectic trying to find missing boxes through UPS, and just plain getting caught up!  Whew!  Really looking forward to relaxing next week and playing with G45's NEW Magic Of Oz line.  If you haven't had a chance to set your eyes on this wonderful line make sure to follow the link and check it out!  Shipping is starting very soon!!!
Now onto the inspiration!



This layout is all about my daughter Skyler.  She is a ray of sunshine that is always just happy as can be.  Always singing songs, dancing around and just being silly.  She is never shy, making friends with anyone she meets in public no matter their age or possible handicap. 
She sees the good in everyone and Let's her spirit soar.  This is something I hope she hangs onto as she grows.  Growing up can be so tough at times, but being positive and keeping the right mind set can make all the difference in the world!

Nicole, this is wonderful! Love how you mixed G45 with Pink Paislee. I never would have thought of doing that and it so works!
