First off, would like to take a moment to remember those who were lost or who lost loved ones on 9/11. I can't believe 10 years have passed. You were lost but NEVER will be forgotten!!
Today for Lasting Memories Layout Challenge #55... it's all about Black and White!! Black and White Photos and all Papers and Embellies all in good ol' black and white. I personally think there is such elegance to a Black and White layout!! Let's see what you can do!! Here is my layout to share.
These photos are from our recent trip to Ocean Shores. It was the kid's first time seeing the OCEAN. We have seen Puget Sound, and many Lakes and Rivers... but this was a first. They just stared and stared at the never ending waves, water and sky that seemed to go on forever. My 5 year old stated "Mom, it's just like INFINITY." Thus my title!! :-) Such a cool moment to capture. An ah ha moment.
Head on over to Lasting Memories and link up your Black and White layouts by Saturday 9/17 @ 9pm EST. You have a chance to be our "Winner", part of our "Top 3" or even "Featured" throughout the week.
The Design Team Gals have plenty of inspiration to share with you. Fun stuff to see!!
I am also entering my layout over at Frosted Designs Sketch along Tuesdays #23 where I followed this sketch...
And finally, I am entering this over at the Getting Scrappy Challenge # 16 where you had to use twine or ribbon on your layout and as always include a Cricut Cut.

Brilliant take on the sketch! Many thanks for playing with us at the Frosted Designs challenge.
Wonderful layout. I love the title. The clouds and birds are such a nice touch.
Awww! This is so sweet and he's right, it is like infinity, but yet I've never heard it said that way and he is right on the money! I remember my guys when we first went to Florida, they were 5 and 9 and oh, they were in awe of the ocean. We got hit with Hurricane Wilma that yr as well and man, that was an experience in itself I tell ya. I love your LO and the innocence of it all. Beautiful!
What a beautiful layout capturing a fabulous memory!! I love all those little details you added, and the title is FABULOUS!! :)

This is such a great page! You can almost feel the serenity from those pictures....is it wrong to wonder what it would look like in color?
Great job...I really like this!
Beautiful page! The pictures are great! I love the quote in the top corner, it sums up these lovely photos!
I love "Ocean of Infinity"! It's so cute how young children can come up with the most clever things!! I love the LO and the stitching that goes around the page!!
This is gorgeous...I love the pure and natural look. Those clouds and seagulls are a fabulous touch.
Hugs

I would be honored if you came to see my blog here
Perfect title for this calm, beautiful LO!
I've never tried any black and white layout before. I find this refreshing! Thanks for playing with Frosted Designs.
Congrats on your Frosted Designs win! :)
