... just in case you're wondering, Katie. I scrapped, and I put my leftover paper and scraps away. And believe me, there was a MESS when I was done. I built the LO below on a different background, cut it up, stuck it on something else, cut that off, stuck something else down... all before giving up and peeling the photos and paper strips off and sticking them on plain, smooth white cardstock and just going with that. *sigh*
(all Amercian Crafts, except for the photo corner punched with a Stampin' Up! punch from Bazzill cardstock)
We're having a super laid-back weekend here. Not very much in the way of plans... just playing it by ear for the most part. We are having family over for dinner tonight, and tomorrow we will go out to the west end to visit Thomas' birthday twin, and we'll get to meet her new baby brother. No. 4, in case you're counting. Wow, Chris is my hero. I can barely handle two kids... *sigh*
Okay, it's past 11:00 am, and I'm still in my jammies. I'd better get a move on. Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! Have a great weekend, everyone! :)
hey Barb ... thanks for the comments on my blog! :D
I adore your latest layout, love your style!! I've been checking out your blog off and on for awhile now! :D

We are having a laid back weekend too ... but we were out of our jammies by 11, haha!!

I LOVE this layout! I can't imagine it any other way than on plain white cardstock.

Well it looks just perfect on white!! Sounds like you took a few detours on the way, but you ended up with a gorgeous layout!

Another great layout! Good for you for sticking with the 365. While I haven't formally given up on it, I'm so far behind and am just not feeling the motivation to catch up.
