My New Favorite Layout

I think I have a new favorite layout.  I absolutely love how this one came out.

 
The background paper is from BasicGrey's Wander collection and has airplanes on it.  I wouldn't normally use travel-themed paper on a non-vacation layout, but I liked the way this looked.  Plus I liked the subtle symbolism: through books, you can go anywhere.  

All the strips and the journaling block were scraps from three very different BasicGrey collections: Kioshi (pastel floral/Asian themed), Oh Baby Boy! (pastel baby-themed), and Lemonade (bright summer-themed).  I think they work together well.

I think I'm going to make a sketch based on this layout.  I can definitely see myself using it again and again.

  6. Fantastic! I also think that the plane is perfect as would be most anything you can think of since with a book, everything is possible. It is a beautiful layout. How exciting...library. I can't wait until I can do these things with my grandson. I never took pictures like these with my own children but now have a second chance with him. Great job!
