Lots of bad news from around the world these days. There's much to worry over. Here in New York the snow is making me miss summer very badly so I decided to scrap a page about a good day in July.

July Memories- Studio Calico Kit challenge page 1/24/11
Materials: Sassafras/Studio Calico exclusive paper, Crate Paper- slipcover (flowers and red border)
Cosmo Cricket mini alphas- yellow, Uniball gel pen- black, pop dots |
Poor Miss Lola has had RSV for 7 days now so we've been stuck inside. She's got a huge case of cabin fever that I broke last night by going to Michael's. I bought 10 new 12x12 cases- it's organization and purging time! But let's tell the truth- there will be VERY LITTLE purging going on. I got Miss Lola a new ball and some crayons she promptly chomped- oh well.
This page is a 360 change from what I was making a few days ago but the truth is that the grungy/moody style has very few admirers- at least the way I do it. It's good to change things up and try to look at the bright side of life- especially when you have a sick baby and 6 feet of ice encrusted snow to deal with.

I did 5 hours of fussy cutting for this page. It was so WORTH it! I love looking at this page up on the wall.
Crate Paper is KILLING ME with their new collections by the way- cannot WAIT for those to hit the stores! The boy centered toy collection is calling my name!
I have some FUN news! Ty's page was mentioned on
Practical Scrappers.com. This page will be up for lifting on TRUE XOXO GIRLS starting February 6th. Please go to the site and add your page to the current January challenge- a great box of goodies awaits the winner.

We spent a lot of time hunched over to help Miss Thing walk back in July 2010-
good thing she picked it up quickly. |

Beautiful layout! Love all the fussy cutting you did on those flowers, really paid off. The way they frame that gorgeous sunset photo is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI hope your little bitty gets to feeling better soon. Here's to a speedy recovery! :)
You did an awesome job on the layering of the flowers on this page! Such beautiful colors and very festive looking. I, however really love your "grungy/moody" style. Your pages are so interesting. I feel like I can look at them over and over and find something new that I didn't see before. The page you did for your February challenge is my absolute favorite!! You have an awesome imagination. Glad I found your blog!
