Scrapbook Layout, "No Voice"

Last week I had some time to spend in my craft room and created a layout.  Yay me!  I actually started this layout and came back 2 days later to finish it up.  It took me a total of 39 minutes to complete.  The photo I chose was taken after Christmas when I had lost my voice.  Yes.  My husband finally got his wish.  He always tells me "Just be quiet and come over here."  And maybe my 3-1/2 year old son also got his wish since I noticed I was getting more impatient with him during the weeks leading up to the holidays.  Either way, I felt it was a blessing in disguise since I had to be more patient and listen more and talk less (or in this case, not at all).

Below is the process video on YouTube:
