Journaling: A Dad is a person who is loving and kind, And often he knows what you have on your mind. He’s someone who listens, suggests and defends. A dad can be one of your very best friends! He’s proud of your triumphs, But when things go wrong, A dad can be patient and helpful and strong. In all that you do, a dad’s love plays a part. There’s always a place for him deep in your heart. And each year that passes, you’re even more glad, more grateful and proud just to call him your dad! Thank you, Dad … For listening and caring, for giving and sharing, But especially, for just being you! - Author unknown

Live Out Loud by: Pia Salem-Lopez. Supplies: Paper: Scenic Route - white blue grid, Cape Town - Penz Striped, Savannah – Sailmaker Lane, Cardstock: Bazzill, office die cut arrows, Pen: Sakura Souffle (courtesy of Scrapbukan).

Design note: This layout has geometric shapes (squares, stars, circles and rectangles) as inspired by the white blue ground background paper from Scenic Route. I placed a black square over a bigger square (base) and then place another shape which is a diamond. I embellished the layout with stars and circles trimmed from the papers as well.

Editor's note: I love the way Pia uses stars and arrows with her circles to give a lively feel.  Did you notice the doodling details around her photos--simply fabulous!
