Close to My Heart Workshop on the Go - Charlotte

Here are the two layouts I did at this workshop. The photos of the layouts aren't great.  It's a rainy, dull day here today. I just followed along with the workshop guide. There were a couple of tweeks.  The gold alphas on the 2nd layout are AC Thickers.

The first is of Crop and Create September 2015. 




This next layout is of my friend turning 60 and celebrating here with us.
