I had a great birthday yesterday, forgot to take pictures but the kids made me cards, Rich surprised me with flowers and balloons, my sister Ann got me a MUCH wanted book, Sienna called and wished me a happy Birthday ( melts my heart) and I got to spend the day at my church scrapping with some friends. Thought I'd share some of my pages with you today, really happy with my journal. My dear friend Bonita had this idea of a summer journal, just a simple spiral notebook at Walmart and some goodies, keeping it stress free!! So I decided to do one with my favorite pictures from this summer, trying to keep the pages kinda flat so it won't be too heavy and bend or fall apart. I got a lot done and can't wait to do more when I can. Here's a look and click on them to see better, took these last night so no natural light was coming in.
this is so ME right now!
this page is a favorite for me
Tracey, I had fun on this one
needs a banner though at top
I love the background for this
just seeing this makes me want to go back
thanks for the paper trim Bonita!
A HAPPY DAY FOR ALL OF US
really really want to go back here
here is a peek at something I did last night,
inspired from a new friend of mine
more to come later on this one
here is my newest fabric and stitches,
I am a FALL girl all the way!!
So that's it for today, hope you enjoyed all pages and new art. Today is Rich's and our dog Lucky's birthday, so we have lots to be happy about this weekend. Looking forward to our last week of summer vacation since school starts next MONDAY!! Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for coming by.
My Big Picture
o wow!. You certainly completed a lot of pages!!. Scrolling down ... and I saw the black beauty!. It's totally BEAUTIFUL, brave girl!. I know black is not our usual colors but playing with it for a change is totally fun!. I wish I could feel the texture, I could see well on the photo. I LOVE it. Awww..thanks Dawn, for creating this :). Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHello Shahrul, thanks for coming by to see my black/white page. I did have fun with it and using the new black netting found in the garage. Hooray for household items for our journals. So glad you liked it and inspired me. I wish to feel your journals too! HUGS.
Deleteoh i forgot. the first photo of the beautiful twilight, foggy meadows reminded me of the scene from 2005's Pride & Prejudice when Mr. Darcy (Matthew McFadyen) walking to meet Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightly) at her backyard. You live in a beautiful place :).
ReplyDeleteWOW so cool that my photo reminded you of the movie. I thought this was so cool while watching it, reminding me of the cool fall nights that are coming. I am lucky to live with a big beautiful yard to see the sky in, very thankful for it.
