I made the following layout for a submission call. The topic was "happy" layouts. And while it didn't get picked up, I thought I would share it anyway since I enjoyed making it.
Thoughts about "happy" in regards to this layout: "Happy" is sitting down to a freshly cleared off scrapbook table with an idea in mind - to use those blurry, yet happy photos. Photos that you can't help smiling at when you look at them. They may not be perfect, but they capture the joyous motion and playfulness of my doggies.
"Happy" is learning to sit down at a blank canvas and just go, while not fearing perfection, failure or what anyone else might think. "Happy" is fun new products that are just the right color, shape or say just the right thing. "Happy" is having everything come together on a layout: subject idea, photos, layout design, fun products and the words. "Happy" is completing the layout and deciding that yes, indeed, I am "happy" with it.
"
"Happy" is simply having fun playing with paper. What's your "happy?"

What a great layout! Definitely a happy doggy there!
Love your layout, Lauren! It is a happy layout. :o) I use blurry photos, too. They tell a story, so why not use them. Sorry it wasn't picked up. They missed out.
My happy for the day is almost completing monthend reports and balancing books. After that it is full on happy. :o)
Enjoy the day!
Gorgeous page!
My happy is chocolate, Dr. Pepper with lemon, and a trashy romance novel. I'm not at all predictable, am I?
Wait. Maybe I should have said 'my family'. Yeah. That sounds much better and less narcissistic, huh? I'm officially changing my answer.
My childhood dog was named "Happy." It was an ever-patient border collie who helped raise us six kids! Thanks for the memory.
