The One Ring
on Sunday Morning…

I always have to giggle when I make up the titles for my posts!
It just happens so that if I place the titles of my layouts together,
nine out of ten times a new title is born.

Yes, I have two layouts to show you today.
Both made with Harlee Quinnz Designs papers (from two different lines.)

Here’s the first:

“46 years ago…

…you were the loveliest thing that ever happened to us.
And you still are”

Ain’t this the sweetest words to hear when it’s your birthday?
My parents wrote this on the birthday card I got from them!

YESSSSS, I told you I would wear a birthday hat today!

 
So here I am!
Older.
Wiser.
Happy.
Spoiled…

Message in a bottle
(continued)

So you were all waiting for the other half of my layout?
Good! Love that.
There’s nothing wrong with a little patience…

This week’s challenge over at Lotus Paperie is to use a piece of notepaper.
Feel it coming…?

(Vivian thought so – see her comment on Friday 18th – good thinking Viv!
And when Denise mentioned that she thought the first half of the layout was
“peaceful yet lonely” without even reading the message on todays other half,
I knew I’d succeeded in bringing the exact feeling onto the layout!)

So take a look, here it is… the other half (and the complete spread)

“Mare”

Sorry I haven’t blogged in almost a week but I was busy, busy, busy….
(With what??? I’ll write a post about that soon – with photo’s.)

But I did get some scrapping done and as of today, I’m back in business!

 
And because
it’s Friday,
I start with
the new
Lotus Paperie
challenge
.

Vanessa made

Childhood Summer days

Friday again, weeks go faster and faster it seems…
and Summer is almost over.
It’s Autumn (at least the weather is) overhere in the Netherlands –
dark clouds rush through the sky. There’s a strong wind blowing.
Sometimes the low sun shines through a hole in the clouds,
and shines on the trees in the park – the leaves still green
but it won’t take long until the park colours yellow, red and gold. 
I can already smell it in the air…
my favourite season is about to start! 


Why am I telling this?
Well, I always turn a bit
melancholic in the Fall,
and this Lotus sketch
inspired me to make
a melancholic layout…

(How does it
inspire you?
Play along at
Lotus Paperie
and show us!)
