Helloooooo, out there in the blogosphere, anyone hear me? Either everyone's on summer holidays without computers, or I've lost a lot of followers with the whole Google reader closure thing, but I'm awfully lonely over here! I miss all my loyal commenters!!! Well, for those of you still reading my blog, here is a page I put together featuring a new sketch from
Sketches in Thyme and some lovely Everyday Eclectic papers and stickers from Echo Park:
And here's sketch #118 for your usage:
I seem to have taken some liberties with this sketch, probably more so than usual, but hopefully you can see where I was inspired with the strips of paper behind the three photos. Here are some close-ups of the journaling and banner:
I thought I was over the banner craze, but apparently not! The whole amusement park theme seemed to call for some banners! I also went a bit crazy with the inking around the base paper, something I haven't done for a while. I was going for an instagram-ish look, but not really sure I succeeded. Meh, maybe next time!
And for those of you waiting with bated breath for a glimpse of our new home, here it is in all it's loggy glory:
My mom took this photo when she came up for a visit, and so far it's the only one of the outside. I paired it up in a SMASH page featuring a housewarming card from my mom and the letter we received from our realtor. I made the pocket and flower using one of the oldest pieces of paper in my stash and my Silhouette. I also used the Silhouette to cut the letters with our address. I have to tell ya, it feels good to use up some older product and finally get SMASHin' again!
I hope you'll join us at
Sketches in Thyme with any of our three sketches this month, and thanks for looking!
Hi Roxy :) I'm so sorry that I haven't stopped by your blog for a while, you know how it is, before you know it, it's bedtime and you haven't done half what you thought you might/hoped to do that day! I'm here now though, and love your page and your Smash pages too! Your new house looks absolutely amazing, would love to see more photos!
