Merry Monday #8

Hi everyone. My friend Sherry and I skype on a regular basis and this week because Sherry is a guest designer at Merry Monday I decided to play along. I made this card and a layout which I will post tomorrow on my blog.

The above sketch is what I had to follow for the challenge. I used October Afternoon paper, chipboard and ephemera and jute twine from my stash. The cardstock is from Stampin' Up! Make sure to come back tomorrow for my layout.

In the meantime. . . .

Walk about your day with beauty.

A layout I completed. . . .

Well it has been a little while again but to be honest I am in a rut and sick of making cards that just sit in a box. So I have decided to take on scrapbooking in earnest. I did not follow a challenge or anything. This is completely my own design lol. The pictures are of my youngest daughter Ashleigh and my grandaughter Sophie. These pics was taken last Sunday just gone when they went over to the coast for the day.

I am really happy with how the page turned out and it is now the 4th page I have done in this style which I am totally loving. I love the sprays Mister Huey's by Studio Calico and I have two with two more coming. I would like to get them all. I used various paper lines - Cosmo Cricket, Sassafras Lass, Pink Paislee and October Afternoon. The Alphas are from Basic Grey. I hope you enjoy it but in the meantime. . . . .

Walk about your day with beauty.
