I have two pages to share today. Both use sketches from My Scraps & More. They both qualify for today's LOAD prompt-do pages have to be 8.5x11 or 12x12? The idea is to take yourself out of your comfort zone and try something new. I have tried and done 6x6, 8x8 and 8.5x11 as well as 12x24 (a 2 page 12x12 spread) and know that 12x12 and 12x24 are the way to go for me.
This first page uses My Scraps & More sketch #68. It is also my entry for the Love is in the Air Challenge #9-The Pinterest Inspired challenge. I was inspired by the wood in the blocks. I used papas with a woodgrain pattern in them as well as wood veneer embellishments. Bold? yes? Celebratory? Also yes!
Our first date night after he was born was to a sushi restaurant. We took him with us in his carrier and he was fantastic. He even let us eat. Somehow, since he was 5 years old, he has always requested to go out for Sushi for his birthday. We went to that same restaurant every year until we moved. This is birthday #12, at a new restaurant, but still Sushi.
This next page is using My Scraps & More sketch #69. hot of the press today. Works for me. I reserve Fridays as my day "off" before the weekend. Also my entry for Love is in the Air challenge #8-My favorite things--My scrap room is a favorite place of mine...I flipped the sketch to be able too use a vertical photo, moved the title and used larger embellishments. Love the way it looks!
Not a great photo, but I had a leftover piece of Simple Stories PP that says "this is my happy place" I decided to tape it to the door of my scrap room. Silly, I know, but it seemed appropriate at the time. now when I look at it, I smile. Notice all the pink? A page about me requires a color other than red, blue and green!
I have to say, I have been so inspired by all these challenges. I don't think I will get to all 18 by Sunday, but so far, there are 5 more pages finished, so thank you My Scraps & More!
