My Favorite Layout





I just absolutely LOVE the way this layout came out. It started out as a goofy closeup picture that was taken by chance. I started playing with the picture coloring on the computer and before I knew it I was scrapping. I used a piece of light peach colored Bazzill paper and added some Fancy Pants rub ons (love them), the acrylic circle stamp, a MAMBI rub on initial on a pop dot(in the middle) and it was done. Note that the top word says Unique. I had been feeling a bit in a scrapping rut lately but this picture has taken me out of it. Every once in a while you get a WOW layout and realize why we scrap and how we get that scrapper's high.

Antique Fair Layout


I am in love with Junkitz paper and seem to constantly reach for it. This design allowed me to do this page with such ease...I just went with the circle flow. I also did my journaling in my own handwriting - I try to do that here and there for the future prosperity of my albums. Of course, I hate my own handwriting as many of us do but it is a lot easier to just journal in hand. Unfortunately a row of stamped buttons isn't showing up on my scan but it is the blurry yellow you see under the quote.

This quote is so perfectly fitting for an antique fair and for a father/daughter relationship. In case you can't read the quote.....

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Happy Sunday

Started off sleeping in late which is always nice for a change...10am is late for me. LoL. Had a bagel and watched one of my taped Oprah shows from the past week.....the one about the movie Wild Hogs. Since we haven't been to a movie in a long time, I asked everyone if they wanted to go and off we went. This movie was SO FUNNY!!!! OMG...there are such hysterical parts in it. It has been a long time since I have more than chuckled at a movie and this one had me rolling in my seat to the point where we were laughing so hard, we couldn't hear the next few movie lines said. Originally, I was afraid of the movie being slap silly stupid but instead it was roaringly funny. The actors each played their parts perfectly and of course, John Travolta looked great!

Came home and made a lasagna with turkey meat and sauted onions and now while it is cooking, I am going to get back to my current book....James Patterson's new one Step On a Crack....it is sooooooooooooo good!!

Happy Sunday all!!!
