Layout #22 for Sketches in Thyme

Well, if you were hoping for a place to rest your eyes, this layout is probably not for you! It is wild and crazy, which totally suits the mood of the subjects! I am submitting this one to a new sketch site I found through Sarah, and it's called Sketches in Thyme. For their Open Challenge, you can submit any layout created with any sketch, and mine...

Card #4

Wow, 2 cards in one day, who knew I could manage such a feat? Certainly not I! This second one was quick to put together because the image was already coloured from the Beginner Copics class I took the other night. (Did I mention I dragged my mom along? I'm loving that I get to spend more time with her these days!) So, alas, I cannot take much credit...

Card #3

First off, let me say I've been trying all week to leave comments at some of your blogs, and blogger is still not letting me, grrrrrr!!! I will try again this week, but rest assured I am keeping tabs on all of you, haha! Second, it is great to be back in the Cariboo (the region, not to be confused with the caribou animal!) I was able to get in to my...

Layout #21 - Bubble Beard

This layout took for freakin' ever to finish!!! And here's why:I did a bunch of hand cutting, so I could showcase as much of this GORGEOUS Webster's Pages paper as I could.There's a whole schwack of stamping! I stamped the cardstock matting the photo and inked one up with Distress Ink and and some Perfect Pearls. The blue hearts and title are also...

Friends - an old layout, finally finished!

Do you ever start a layout, then put it aside for journaling or embellishing for a looooong time? I used to never do that, so I'm not sure why I do it so often now, but I'm trying not to lately. It's just too hard to come back to something after putting it away, I forget what I wanted to say, or the concept I was going with, or I'm just bored with...

Layout #20 - What are your essentials?

Seems like everyone's having problems with blogger lately! My last post was up for a day, I think, then it was gone, then I couldn't sign in to blogger, then I found the post and it was my old draft so I had to fix it and repost it, sigh! Anyway, if you didn't read my book review post and you like to read, scroll down to see what I've been into these...

Book Review Time!

So although I haven't done anything arty these past few weeks, I have managed to read quite a bit. Thought I would share my thoughts on some of my more recent reads:Has anyone else read this yet? What did you think of it? I got Jason to pick it up for me because I kept seeing the cover everywhere (and you know I always judge a book by its cover!) and...

Layout #19 for Scrap-tures

You might have wondered about this layout I posted a while back. I completed the layout, scheduled it to post, and then didn't have time to write anything about it. Then I promptly forgot about it with all the moving and packing and selling the house. Yes, it seems like we sold the house, without even listing it or putting up a sign! I won't rejoice...

Yikes!

I'm really missing my blogging time, and missing all of you, my blogging friends! I'm posting this at the library because I don't have internet at home yet, and anyway, I would have nothing to post because everything is still packed. No crafty time at all! But we made it in one piece and everything is slowly getting settled. I will try to visit all your blogs really soon! Many hugs, love Roxy. Oh, and I didn't realize the last post would be posted...
