[isshinryu_mom]

Great challenge Nicole!

[FrugalByDesign]

When doing this layout, I was reminded that I am "always" the bridesmaid - never the bride....sigh:

[sammdc]

yes wonderful Idea and I have some great opportunities to use the word with my nieces wedding next saturday

[FrugalByDesign]

Ok, here's another "always" for me. I ALWAYS end up with the crazy people. And yes, I know all about that "birds of a feather" thing:

[FrugalByDesign]

Ok, here's another "always" for me - I ALWAYS am a witness to unique stuff - the kind of stuff that no one believes when you tell them. So I started taking pictures as proof. Look how BIG that kite is compared to the coastline!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=210909&cat=4264

[FrugalByDesign]

My last "always" for today - I ALWAYS buy old Raggety Anne's when I find them. I have a "toy" room in my house with all sorts of old toys in it - including LOTS of Raggety Annes!

[bebimora]

...I always overload my LO (but you allready know that :lol: )

and this Lo in many ways Define me and what I always prefer and always love the most :yahoo:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=211049&cat=1348

[FrugalByDesign]

Here's another "always" for me - this is my best friend and I can always, and I do mean ALWAYS count on her!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=211069&cat=940

[FrugalByDesign]

For months and months it really concerned me because I always felt this way:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=211128&cat=1764

Things are getting better now, I think.

[Victoria]

Looking at the LO's linked in the challenge, I'm a little confused as to the rules: does the word "always" need to appear on the actual LO, or just as we describe the LO in this thread? On the previous 3, I do not see the word used in the LO.

[isshinryu_mom]

Loved this challenge! Here's mine....
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=211147&cat=500&ppuser=30989

[Nicole Young]

No, you do not have to use the word "always" on your LO. It can be something that you describe in your post that relates to the word always (like FrugalByDesign has done) or you can use the word always in your WA or journaling or title. It is completely up to you how you interpret the challenge!! The only requirement is use of DSP products to create it!!!

[sammdc]

here is mine http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=211188&nocache=1

[scamptx]

Great challenge, adding it to my list!

[Nicole Young]

Great LOs! I am so excited to see everyones interpretations!!

[Nicole Young]

Let's see some more "always" layouts!! I love the ones I have seen so far and can't wait to see more!!!

[Nicole Young]

Ok, here is mine...
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=212320&cat=3343
There is ALWAYS part of me that wants to be a little bold!!!

[FrugalByDesign]

This one is kinda tongue in cheek - my Florida friend is "in" to flashy modes of transportation, which this is not:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=211323&cat=500&ppuser=80423

[FrugalByDesign]

This young lady is always on the phone (ok, MAYBE that is an exaggeration!)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=211925&cat=500&ppuser=80423

[FrugalByDesign]

Check out my face. I ALWAYS feel that way at Christmas:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=211949&cat=500&ppuser=80423

[FrugalByDesign]

I have always wanted to have a friend from my childhood:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=212162&cat=500&ppuser=80423

[FrugalByDesign]

I always take people who visit me for the first time here:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=212476&cat=3244

So if you come, we'll go!

[tollfree]

Okay, well, despite the fact that I seem to 'always' write too much (like you'll see!) I'm also always learning there's a lot that I haven't discovered yet!
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=212407&cat=500&ppuser=96757

I'd been planning to add some lace from Kim's Fantasie D'Aile kit, too, but my journaling sort of...kept going? Oops! What a fun challenge, what I started with isn't anything like what I ended with. I guess that's another always--my thought always wind up somewhere different than where I expect!

[MarsOlson]

My daughter, Elizabeth is staying with me for a bit and looking through her photos from the summer to use in Becky's challenge I realized she is always wearing a hat!

[FrugalByDesign]

This young lady is always attempting to lose weight and I find myself always encouraging her to go for it:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=212750&cat=1348

[FrugalByDesign]

Last one for today. I made this zoot suit and these two are always dancing in it - well, he is, anyway. They both can't fit in it at the same time!:

[FrugalByDesign]

I am such a wussy girl, that this will never happen, but I have always wanted one:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=212899&cat=500&ppuser=80423

[FrugalByDesign]

I have yet to meet a woman who doesn't always love these - except if she's allergic. Then it's not fun at all.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=212901&cat=500&ppuser=80423

[FrugalByDesign]

People who know me, know that I will always have kitties - until the day I take my last breath:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=212911&cat=500&ppuser=80423

[Nicole Young]

These are great!!!! Can't wait to see more!

[ChristineG]

[RoadMap4Us]

Here's mine! I am Always an Adventure! (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=213129&cat=500&ppuser=41276) Okay, Nicole, you can stop laughing now!

[FrugalByDesign]

If I were to tell a secret about myself, it would be that I have always wanted to have pictures of "friends" of my own like these:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=213137&cat=500&ppuser=80423

[Nicole Young]

[poohbear77]

Hopefully its not too late to enter this challenge. I've not ever entered one before. This LO is a collage of our wedding pictures, a day that I will always remember as the best day of my life because it was the day that always and forever began with my eternal companion. Hopefully the link works, I'm pretty new to posting.

[terryl]

I had just finished this layout this morning, and was roaming around the DSP site when I came across this challenge. I realized that I should put a link to this layout here because the relationship between my oldest daughter and son will ALWAYS be special to them. As I said in my journaling, "I know as the years go by, you will always love and be there for each other."

Here is the link: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=214996&cat=500&ppuser=61677

I'm still very new at this, so if anyone has any suggestions for this layout, please feel free!

I remember being a real little kid and wanting to be a teacher. That feeling has never left me - and although I have never been what is commonly thought of as a "teacher", I have always been in a "teaching" mode:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=215088&cat=1764

[FrugalByDesign]

One more "always" for me. Having physical challenges has made me think about what I have always wanted to learn about, but haven't yet. This is one of those things:

[poohbear77]

I made some changes to a page I just did for Linda's Beautiful Days challenge and wanted to submit it here as well for another "Always" layout. The pictures are of my best friend and I at my wedding. Despite our ups and downs, I know that we will ALWAYS be there for each other no matter what.

[Seratonin]

If I still have time I think this lo should work here too, about how I always got in trouble (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=216228&cat=500&ppuser=80280).
