Tweaking a layout

This is the original layout we created for our website.  It uses old products from my stash as well as some pieces for Dear Lizzy Neapolitan stickers, some thickers and the flowers from Creative Memories.

Unfortunately, we had decided to make the store colors raspberry and lime green.  I redid the layout with more Dear Lizzy Neapolitan stickers, the same Thickers, 6x6 papers from Basic Gray Hello Luscious line and dear Lizzy for the small letter stickers.  The map paper is very old from my stash.  The template used on the background is from The Crafter's Workshop.

Do you leap before you know what you're doing?

Do you ever leap without looking?  We're in the process of doing that now.

My daughters and I found ourselves unemployed all at the same time.  Since we are crafting enthusiasts and have longed dreamed of owning and operating a store devoted to paper crafting, we decided to invest our time and talents into opening an online store.

It's a been a slow start, complicated by life happening as we made our plans. Health issues have arisen but we see them as a way to help others document their own journeys.  We've decided to offer premade layouts where busy people can just add 4x6 photos to have trendy scrapbook pages to show off to family and friends.

Speaking of leaping in, here are two photos of my youngest before and after getting ready for her first round of chemo.
