I've seen a lot of strange things,
I've seen a lot of bad people, yeah,
Do a lot of bad things.
You know I've done some climbing,
I've done a little bit of this and that,
You know I've done some running,
You know I always come back.
And I've relied upon you so,
I've decided on you,
Now I wonder
Do you think about me?"
-- Sister Hazel
Taba and I went to see Sister Hazel in concert this past weekend. I love them and I finally had the chance to introduce Taba to them properly (there's nothing like seeing Sister Hazel in concert to capture the essence of their music). We had a blast, and of course their music has been playing over and over in my head every since. These lyrics are from Think About Me - and now for a little bit of this and that from my latest creations. The products used in these layouts were provided to me in return for scrapping layouts as a member of E-Scape and Scrap's Creative Team.
This first layout is about my Grandma - I still miss her so much.
Kay Eflin's Sew Sew kit felt like the perfect kit to work with some of these precious pictures I have of Grandma. I linked together cutouts of her eyes from the 3 pictures to create a border that would highlight my journaling.
Next we have a layout about a summer spent at Grandma's when she lived on the farm - fun times!
My title was inspired by Sus Designs' Birdie Mini Kit. The fun little birds seemed like the perfect match to my memories of that summer.
And finally a layout with some more recent family shots - here are some of the many special girls that make us smile.
The soft design of Ingeborg's newest painted kit Feeling Blue Elements and Papers complimented these sweet pictures I had of our nieces at a party last year. I used the bubble in the kit to create overlays for each of the pictures and added a bevel effect to make it appear as if each girl (and her name) was in a bubble. I loved the various starbursts included and used them to mat my title letters.
Well, that's all for today, folks! Happy Scrapping.
"Well I know that it's been a long
Time since I've been gone,
It's easy to forget - help me remember.
It's funny but I've never been
Good at staying close
That don't mean that I never remember.
And it's been so long
You've been gone
But feels like we're one again,
So long.
And it's been so long,
You kept thinking maybe tomorrow,
Now I'm going to leave again, believe again,
So long!"
-- Lyrics from So Long by Sister Hazel
