Good Friday Morning!

It is going to be a gorgeous day today here on the East Coast. In most of the area, the kids start school Monday so I am pulling Owen out of daycare for a day at Knoebels. He has no idea!!!

So today was my final post over at Helmar as their Guest Designer for August. Check it out here. I did a layout with my For the Luv of Art kit. The misting is one of the NEW Shimmerz colors that ROCKs called Tuscan Sun.

Have a great weekend!

Collage Press

Ya'll know how i love to alter so when i saw this challenge over at Collage Press, i jumped on it. i have been dying to use these journal spots in a creative way so this is what i came up with. plus, my FAVE quote! i don't know who said it but i am all about it. i want to carry this with me when all the parents are on their cell phones at football practice instead of watching their kids play, or when ppl are texting instead of driving. i get overwhelmed with frustration when i see the disconnect in our lives these days.

so this is what came out of that....

{the shadows this thing cast are amazing, LOL! every photo i took has a bit of shadow on it from the overhang of the frame.} each journaling spot has some stitching on it, even going off the page.
