New Layouts

Okay, so it has been awhile. I have been scrapbooking a bit. Seems I am easily distracted by other projects though. Finished an acrylic landscape. Didn't know what the heck I was doing but my husband thought is was cool. I suppose I need to take a real class one of these days. Although I just copy from books and other pictures so afraid I will get in a class where they will stick a bowl of fruit in front of us and say paint it! That I wouldn't have a clue how to do. So in this I suppose I am a copy artist rather than a real artist? Hmmm.





Back to scrapbooking. A couple of new layouts to post. Lake Monsters was inspired by a layout I saw on the net somewhere, not sure where, and some new paper by October Afternoon. Got scrounging around in some old pictures of my boys wearing goofy swim masks to do that one. That shark mask always created some real excitement at the beach! p.s. Gray around the outside is a frame that I put it in to display on my fridge.












The other layout is from a series of pictures of Ev when he was four. The pictures were taken at sunset. Pictures and the horizontal 'boards' are all sanded to look weathered. Metal embellishments and of course I had to add a couple of flowers cause I LOVE flowers!!!!!








All for now. Hope to do some scrapbooking this weekend if I keep making progress on my spring cleaning. You don't want to know how many garbage bags/paper recycling bins I have filled this past week. Oh, and a local store (Paper Trails) is offering to set up a garage sale table for the summer. Bring in the stuff you no longer want, if it sells, you get store credit for that amount. Who knows maybe my junk will be someone else's treasure?
