This is for my Twisted Sister Challenge this week, where Terri (aka Brat Cards aka the Brat) challenge us to finish something we have had sitting there for ages - this layout had been sitting in my folder for ages waiting for those final touches and to be added to the album - so I am happy to have completed it - I do have a card I finished as well - it was only waiting for brads or buttons - I hang my head in shame - and that is a major fete as when I do that it feels like there is a HEAVY METAL concert happening in it as I have woken up 'under the weather' not often that happens, so I am going to take it easy today and hopefully beat it. I have been looking through old photos, which is always lethal for me as it makes me long for the day gone by, when we all know that we retain happy memories and forget about everything else.
At least these days I do something productive with the photos - how could I resist scrapping these - the kids on their first bikes! I got the 'bones' of the page completed at my Scrapbooking night and then came home and added a few Layers of Color: http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog/
touches and was happy with it.
These butterflies from the Butterfly Collector art stamp set - they are just so gorgeous and something I reach for often with scrapbooking AND cardmaking - who can resist them, they lift a project and bring joy to look at.
I added a corner from Layers of Color Touch of Elegance, this set lives up to it's name - it is so elegant and just the right touch for this otherwise bare corner, I added some highlights with Chalks and ppicked up the colours on the DP - how easy is that!!
The other touches are from the SU Scrapbooking Kits that we used - this layout was super quick, while I like that fact I do enjoy taking my time and adding those touches that add to the scene I am creating and capturing the 'moment' from days gone by - oh, I am sounding OLD - guess it comes with how I am feeling today!! LOL!
