I Have Seen The Bluest Skies, Rainbows That Would Make You Cry

Today, Thursday (this post is scheduled so it’s not Thursday when it goes live but right now it is Thursday)
Today, Thursday, I had a day at home AND I decided to let go of my to-do list and scrap
I was inspired by the 1st August sketch from the Stuck Sketches challenge blog
and I was SO inspired that I pulled out the video camera and made a little video of me creating my layout

Behind the page–Creating “She Loves Piano”

The layout came together in under 30 minutes
Love that!!
I used mostly scraps from the August Cocoa Daisy kits
Love that!!


* added lettering from my stash

* some chic tags that I recently purchased

* washi tape is from D-lish scraps

Glad I decided to scrap
Glad I had time to put together the video for you too!

I'm Surrounded By A Million People

This was the first photo I took of Dave’s adventure
It was taken the morning he left
I dragged him outside on a cold morning and made him sit with his Lonely Planet book
Funnily enough it is the last of my photos, about his trip, to scrap with
I was inspired by the April 15 sketch at Stuck Sketches and used pieces from the April Polka Dot Whimsy kit

Love bikes, love tape… the Tim Holtz tape is a sure winner

used some of the water colours that used to be Dave’s Grandmas

and journalled my thoughts

So Dave is now back and I’ve uploaded his photos, approx. 200, he has told me he intends to scrap some
I suggested maybe a little scrap retreat for him and I…
We will see!!
I will leave you with just selection of what he snapped

Family reunion

Meeting cousins for the first time

lots of bike rides to see the neighbourhood

 

Checking out new places

and new things

and this is my all time favourite photo

Glad he is home

On A Spinning Ball In The Middle Of Space

Yes
Yes
Yes
It’s been busy around here
But today I had some time to move some things around the crafty table
Created this page, inspired by the new sketch over at Stuck sketches

love using the ‘leftover’ bits

these butterflies I used for a post over at Polka Dot Whimsy 

and some journaling   

Yesterday was another busy and full day
These two had their cunning carnival

spent the day cheering them on and they both did well
Half way through another busy week
Half way through March…. oh boy the year is flying!!

Throwing Out Your Frown

The December sketch, at Stuck?! Sketches! is gorgeous
and once I saw what the creative team had created I was inspired to create

Some scrummy yummy Such Sweet Tierney buttons

some dymo love

and some masking tape, stitching, woodgrain and paint…

need I say more?!?!

Lift My Head, I'm Still Yawning

Thought I’d give the new November Stuck?! Sketches! a whirl
This was the result

I turned the sketch, so I could use a portrait photo, rather than a landscape one
added some dymo journaling

some doilies from Leeann

found a use for some Cosmo Cricket chipboard

and pulled out the tab punch

PS some news here and something you might like to check out
and PPS I love you
