And here I am again...  with a layout using older photos, papers from an older collection (Basic Grey Recess line), and alphas that are even older (not in their original packaging and old enough I don't even remember who makes them...) So dig deep, you can never tell what is just laying about waiting to find their home. 

The photos feel a bit like I do, climbing up... even with the disadvantage of having cowboy boots on--only in my case it's not cowboy boots hindering my way up! 

The papers are mostly Basic Grey from their Recess line with a little Max added and I did use a favorite EK Zig Zag border punch, as well as an arrow punch from Fiskars.
