Oh MAN… remember I re-organized all my scrap stuff?
(I wrote a post with photo’s on that over here)
And then I saw the new Lotus Paperie challenge this week….
“use the packaging from a scrapbooking product”
Eeeeeekkk! I just threw them all away!
I had to look
real hard but,
PFEW! I found
something…
Two little
cards that
came with
stamps…
It’s not much
but it saved
my ass!
I used the photo’s of my organized scrap goodies and managed
to make a layout. But to be honest… it’s not my best.
From all the Lotus challenges I made since I joined the design team
I dislike this the most… (you can see them all together in my gallery
at the top menu “Scraplayouts” if you want to compare)
Oh, it’s not THAT bad. It’s kinda OK I guess – but my heart is not in it.
You can see that…
Next week will be the last layout as a Lotus Paperie design team member,
and I hope to show you something better to wave goodbye with!
Anyway, here it is…
- Background paper: Basic grey
- Scrapbook packaging: unknown brand and Prima Marketing
- Journaling pads: Cosmo Cricket
- Spray ink and alpha mask: Ranger / Tim Holtz
- Stickles: “Black diamond” – Ranger
And this is a
blindingly obvious
platitude, but it
won’t hurt to
remind myself
(and you?!) from
time to time
’cause we all
loose this feeling
some days…
And now I leave this layout behind, and move on to…
HAPPY MAIL!!!!
I received a package
from Jessica last week
(a belated birthday gift)
and she knows exactly
what I like!!!
What a great blog friend
you are Jess!!!
I stared at it, rotated it
in my hands over and
over, drooled over those
clips and was in ooh and
awe…
THANK YOU JESS!!!
I was creating an ATC when Jess’ parcel arrived, and what a
coincidence that was! I’d searched for something to put on the
card to give it some depth, but couldn’t find anything that fitted…
and one of those clips was just what I needed! I finished it in no-time!
ATC the Music: “Ramblin’ Man” – The Allman Brothers Band
I made this with my
little brother in mind…
(I don’t have sisters,
only one brother who
emigrated to Canada
with his family
a few years ago…)
He wrote such a sweet
and heartfelt comment
on my last music ATC,
that I had to think of
this song, and so I made
this ATC next…
And this morning I received an e-card from him that says “You’re fabulous”
because he likes “what his big sis is doing with her scrapbooking and blogging”
Thanks sweetie!!! I mail you soon! I love you!
And to all my blog readers… I love you too! ALL of you!!!
Thanks for visiting my blog, thanks for all the support and comments,
thanks for making me smile and giving me self-confidence!
I wish you all a wonderful and creative weekend!!!
Je t’embrasse!
