I had a blast yesterday scrapping (and laughing) with a great group of ladies.
Here is one of the layouts I got done. It is of "Bob", the resident gator in the lake behind our condo. He has since been relocated as he was getting pretty big and coming out of the lake often. This was last Easter. I just love this shot of him beside the "beware" sign!
Here are a few close ups...

I thought I would play along with the Passion for Papertrey challenge this week..."inspired by". I found this very cool poster on Pinterest pinned by Kaitlyn Felty. It gave me a great chance to play with my Honey Bee stamp set again. I also used Funky Florals and Heart to Heart #12. Here's Kaitlyn's poster...
And here's my card...

I had fun playing with some more Ybor City photos. And I can't get enough of the Fact/Fiction lines from BG either. This time I played with my brick stencil and texture paste. I tinted the paste with mist to match the bricks in the Cuban architecture in Tampa.
Here are a few detail shots...

I got a chance to work on a layout recently with my scrappy BFFs Avril, Dee and Regan. So much fun! I used some "flair" now that I know what that is...thanks Regs! I scrapped some photos of Ybor City, Tampa, last March Break.
I was so excited to finally use my BG Fact/Fiction stash I bought a few months ago. And the oranges and greens of this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger really inspired me.
Here are a few close ups...I used my new Avery Elle chevron dies for the first time...butter!!

My hubby needed an end of school thank you card. So I tried out another of my new multi step stamps with my distress inks and markers.
I need to practice some more to get the layering right. But these are fun to play with! I linked up with Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge this week too! Happy Canada Day! stamps~ Rubbernecker, PTI inks~ Ranger, PTI
Welcome to my special place for sharing all the good things in life: travel, recipes, favourite books, and of course scrapbooking! This blog is inspired by a twist on one of my favourite sayings. The 16th century proverb goes something like "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." Well I certainly think you can. Whether it is turning travel glitches into new adventures, creating a gourmet meal out of an empty fridge, and of course transforming bits of paper, ribbon and glue into scrapbooking masterpieces.
