Pen Pals

Ooh, there are so many things I love about this layout. First of all, the sunburst paper caught my eye in the gallery right away. Then, I love the thoughtful expressions on her face in the photos, and especially the look of intense concentration in the photo on the left. It really captures how excited she was about this pen pal project. Most of all, I love the nostalgic element of the two girls in the very center. Writing letters by hand is such a lost art, and it's so nice to hear that there are still people out there (and especially kids out there) keeping the tradition alive. The vintage feel of that element helps reinforce that. It's such a perfect touch.

Ditto above! Fantastic layout!!! Love the rainbow stripes of the sunburst rays. Adorable element clustering.

BEAUTIFUL LO. the little sticker of the girls goes so perfectly with the journaling; what a cool story. i like the waves of paper in the bg.
