Brown-Eyed: A Layout for Sketches in Thyme

I created this 2-page layout for Sketch #106  at Sketches in Thyme! Here is the original sketch I worked from:

 

I ended up using 4 photos, and turning the first one into 2 pieces.  I hope you like all my brown-eyed babies!

 

Lots of Gold! (10 Yellow Elements!)

5 Golden Rings.....  The 5th Day of Christmas celebration at Frosted Designs is to include 5 or more gold or yellow elements on your project!  I have included yellow printed cardstock, 2 types of yellow ribbon, yellow cardstock matte underneath my photo, yellow flowers, yellow brads, yellow jewels, a yellow BINGO card, yellow stitching, and yellow title foam stickers!  That's 10 yellow elements!!!

Merry Christmas!

My favorite subject to scrapbook:  my family!

 

This layout shows my mom and my hubby in Puerto Rico! 

 

I created this layout based on the lovely and simple sketch at

Let's Capture Those Sketches #149

 

I used Simple Stories Year O Graphy, American Crafts thickers, some very old flowers, Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalking ink, buttons from Michael's Craft store, and some miscellaneous font stickers and brads!

I used LOTS of old plain flowers, and layered them, securing them with staples!  I was happy to use up some of these flowers from my stash!

I frequently forget about using my stapler, although I love the result every time I do!  I also have had these paperclips for years,. and am so excited about using them!!!

This layout, and this photo, reflects one of my major personality traits - curiosity - especially about nature and even moreso about animals! One of my favorite activities when we go to any body of water is to search for animal life! And this layout reflects some of my favorite elements to use when I scrap - FLOWERS, pink, polka dots, layers and distressing!  What do you like about nature?
