I am big into names and their meaning, so I decided to challenge all of you to use Carina's items to create a layout about a name (yours, your child's or spouse, or whoever) and what their name means. Also, tell us how they got their name and if they fit their name meaning.

Design Focus: Try something new (let us know what you tried!) I've wanted to try stringing ribbon through letters for a little while now, and finally decided to give it a try!

HERE ARE MY DETAILS FOR MY LAYOUT - JOURNALING AND CREDITS:
Audrey Nicole
noble strength-people's victory
We had your name chosen a year before we found out we were pregnant. We actually stayed up until 2am talking about names and when we finally came up with "Audrey Nicole" we knew it was the perfect name. I was so excited when you were born and you were a girl! I was able to use this beautiful name. Even more so than how beautiful it sounded, was the meaning "noble strength" and "people's victory". We also asked your Grandma Linda to give us a list of Chinese names, and we chose "Lee Pei" from that list, meaning "beautiful" and "precious". It fits you so well and expresses perfectly what we feel when we admire you. One of our hopes is that you will have noble strength and victory in your life as you are already so beautiful and precious to us. We love you so much, our perfect little baby girl.
