New Layout

I love this paper by Basic Grey-Marjolaine- I used it and loved working with the colors--got some help from Stacy when I went to LSS to pick up the buttons. It made me smile when it was finished.

Snowblower

This layout has been in my mind most of this winter.  It was a gift my dad gave me when I became a single parent and had to do my driveway.  A shovel was not easy, and then my dad came rolling up in his truck with this "special gift" to me.  I call him every winter and tell him how thankful I am.  After the snowfall we just had-I was ever so grateful.  The problem with this layout-it sat on my table for 3 weeks.  I could not glue it down because I was not happy with it.  I liked all the elements separate, but not together.  Finally today-after talking to Stacy at LSS--I finally committed and glued.  I still don't think it is finished.  But it is going in the book-until I come across something for the top!

Layout at LSS

Today Stacy taught a layout class using Basic Grey - Curio- papers.  I love how it turned out. Thanks to Joyce at Walgreens for doing my pictures.  Thanks to Stacy for the class.  Papers I would not have used on my own-so a class is always a good thing-using something out of the box of comfort.
