Hi everyone, it's Gabrielle from the Websters Pages design team...
One of the things I love about Webster's Pages is that it's not just about beautiful pages, but it's also about meaningful pages. This month we're focusing on the word 'Legacy', and I have the perfect story to tell.
Recently, I found myself snuggled up with one of my daughters, the two of us each engrossed in our own book and I realized this is a legacy I've passed down to her.
I decided to interview my girls and let them tell me in their own words what they love to read and why.
My little one found a fun way to write down her answers and then I put them in a pocket on the back of the layout.
For this page, I used All About Me, perfect for my theme. You can find it HERE.
I created the postage stamp edge on the regular 12x12 All About Me paper by using the die cut paper from the WP Western Romance collection as a template.
Also, I gave myself some extra blue forget-me-not blooms to cut out as embellishments by printing off one of the designs from the Digi Motifs from the All About Me collection on some plain white glossy cardstock paper. You can find them HERE.
Here's a closer look...
WP All About Me Supplies used for this page:
Patterned Paper; All about Me Looking Ahead and Love the Journey, Petite Paper Pad: Dazzle Me Gems: All About Me collection pack, Journaling Cards, Alpha Stickers, Cut blooms: printed from WP All About Me Digi Elements, Bloomers: Winter Fairy Tales Lace Trim: WP Cameo Push Pins
What have you passed down to your children? Have you documented it? Get your own assortment of All About Me and be sure to share your work in the Webster's Pages Inspire Me gallery, we love to see what you all create with these beautiful collections!

What a beautiful layout, and the colors are just totally eye catching. Of course I love blue so this makes for one of my most fav of your layouts! Love how you added the pocket in the back and the questions and answers from your girls that is just going to be so precious to them in years to come!

Gorgeous! I'm working with my 4 yr old on finding out her fave things so I can do a page about it :) Very beautiful LO, and pat yourself on the back for instilling the love of reading in your girls!! I wish mine would get back to loving stories.. somewhere between 3 1/2 and 4 yrs old, she decided to stray away from them :( Crossing my fingers it will come back :)

Gorgeous page Gabi!! Thanks for sharing it with us. I have also interviewed my kids each year for the last few years and then made lay-outs on them at particular ages. It is a neat little snap shot of what they were thinking at that time!
