Last weekend was the benefit crop for Katie and Dustin, and I got to go all day on Friday. I really look forward to going every time and have so much fun scrapping the day away with good friends and good food. I got three pages done and they are all really different, sometimes when I do lots of pages at one time they will have a similar design or color scheme.
I didn’t photograph this one very well, kind of blew out the right side – oops, need to slow down next time. I used stickles on the butterflies and around the journaling block, but I guess I need more practice because my lines are wobbly. Oh well, we’ll just call it whimsical, okay?
Normally I don’t print out large photos but I thought Kathleen needed one for a display. I misunderstood, but no problem, I’ll just scrap with it!
I’ve been wanting to do a page that’s sort of a letter from me to my girl, and this is my first attempt. It wasn’t as scary as I thought to put my heart on the page - I may even do another one! The journaling strips read:
- live the life you’ve imagined
- be happy
- be gentle with yourself and others
- listen to your heart
- have faith
- make a difference
- be true
- never give up
- sing, even if you don’t know the words
- be strong
- if there is no wind, ROW
- just do what you do best
I didn’t want to overpower all the bright colors in this next photo so I just went with minimal bits of color. Hopefully the blue gives you a hint as to who I am trying to highlight. *wink* These are all the fair queen contestants this year – they all looked fabulous!
The next crop is the one I won, on August 21st – see you there!
