Mondays are usually my busiest days and the chance to do any scrapping is just about zero. That doesn't mean that I can't take 10 to 15 minutes to blog though! I'm lucky that I do have something to blog about today. I had a scrappy day on Saturday with some great friends and manage to create a few layouts.
I had heaps of fun with this one I did for 'Bird Is The Word'. The word to use this time is 'Together'. I don't often use these earthy tones on my layouts but I so enjoy it when I do. The pic is of my friend's two little boys at the lake. They are such gorgeous kids and I absolutely adore this pic of them.
I've used some old October Afternoon paper for the background and then added Tim Holtz Kraft Core cardstock (a new product from Coredinations), Dusty Attic chipboard picket fence and chicken wire, some hessian leaves, twine, stained muslin, Kaisercraft paper blooms and a few other bits and pieces. The Cheery Lynn Designs Spiderweb die is new to Handmade by Suzanne. Isn't it gorgeous?
That's all for today! Hope you are having a great Monday! Thank you so much for visiting and for the lovely comments you always leave. :)
Until next time.
