This beautiful layout we are sharing with you today

May Guest Designer:
Jinny Newlin

 Jinny shares this about her layout:
"I don’t know what it is about pictures of my kiddos reading, but they’ve been the inspiration for a number of my pages this month.  I love that I caught my littlest in his underpants and with his book upside down in the photo featured here.  It’s such an accurate depiction of everyday life in my household.  I used a happy mix of old Citrus Twist Kit goodies to bring it to life and couldn’t resist getting a little messy with my watercolors.

Thanks for everything, ladies!  I’ve truly had such fun playing along with y’all this month."
