Good evening!

Beautiful fall weather we have been having. I love fall with the colors and sweaters to wear. Evening with hot beverages and sit by the fire place. I  am posting an older layout that I did earlier this year before the store closed. It was never displayed. I used the Authentique Carefree  line with a few chipboard elements from Teresa Collins Fabrications. It was the last time my youngest son, Alex would sing in the elementary chorus. Every year they had been invited to the Dragons minor leauge game to sing the national anthem. It was a very hot day and the Dragons were kind enough to let the kids stay behind the dugout in the air conditioning. It was a day of fun to be at the ball game.

Have a great night!

Hello!

I took a break for a while to get ready for school and take are of family . Sometimes you need to just take a break. I was feeling a little burned out on making things. I really felt a little uninspired but starting to get back to wanting to scrap. I have cleaned out alot of my scrap stuff and organized. Amazing things you can find buried in the back of the drawer. In fact, I made something from the back of the drawer. Not sure where I aquired the metal words or how long I had them. Plus I had this box that I bought for another project but got dropped and the wood split on top. So, I happen to be in a store and saw some of those over priced decorated boxes that I love to look at. I hate spending money on stuff like that when I know it can be made for so much less. Then I happen to be going through my stamps and never knew how many I had till now.  I found these Hero Art leaves stamps. So I spent a lovely rainy day ( and it was wonderful to see rain) making this box. I might add more to it later but for right now this is where its at. I used a combinatin of Tim Holtz Distress inks, coffee grounds, a few jewels and Stickles. I stained the metal words with Stazon inks.It looks alot lighter in the picture than what it is.
