Sketches in Thyme

My layout is up on Sketches in Thyme Blog today using a Brenda Ragsdale Sketch:

Freaky Fast Formula

Another animal page from the Out of Africa Park in Arizona.  I used my TSR kit's Crate Paper Wonder line.  We are revisiting a past series at The ScrapRoom Blog called Freaky Fast to help TSR members Get More Pages Done.  It's wonderful how different the designer's pages turned out.  Hope you head over, check out the formula and Heather Robertson's result; and, give it a whirl!  Hope you have a great weekend!

P.S.  I'll never forget this date.  Hugs to all who lost loved ones.

A Couple New Pages With Sept TSR

Using Echo Park Papers Wild Life.  I love this line!

Crate Paper Wonder is wonderful too.  My favorite paper was that coral pink.  I only wish that I had more of it.  It's on the back of the flower print, Wild Spirit.  I pulled little bits and pieces from a few older kits to embellish this one.

Another Post at The ScrapRoom

I'm not sure how to do this.  Do I duplicate a post? Do I not post a layout here when I've posted it at The ScrapRoom?  The best thing that I can think of is to try to say something original here and point my readers, (however few), to The ScrapRoom post.  Any suggestions? I'd love to hear them to help me decide.  Today, I've posted the Story Behind the Page on The ScrapRoom Blog.

Thanks for visiting.  Your comments are always welcome, (and appreciated!).

The ScrapRoom September 2015: Jillibean Soup Sew Happy

This page was created from photographs taken at Old Sturbridge Village, a living museum in Massachusetts. We stopped there for a day on our way to Boston from New Haven, Connecticut last month. At this specific spot, a character was explaining how they dyed their yarns.  The Jillibean Soup Sew Happy is part of the Doubleshot Kit at The ScrapRoom.  The page was created as part of a class series being revisited at The ScrapRoom Blog.

The ScrapRoom September 2015: BasicGrey B-Side

The last few weeks have been such a blur!  We had a vacation, needed to get ready for school and school began.  Tonight is Back To School Night for my Freshman son, Jason.

The picture above was taken in my very first bedroom.  My grandmother made my curtains and I was able to pick out the fabric. The print is so 70's, is it not? :)

This photograph is the only picture that I have from that time, in my room.  It is highly valued for it's nostalgia.  With me are my beloved dog, Apache, and my brother.

I loved using the BasicGrey B-Side from The ScrapRoom September 2015 Cafe Club "Flavors of the Month" Kit because of some of its' iconic images and pink paper for this picture.  I love the bright mix of colors!  The brads that I found in my stash were not quite the right shade of pink so I used a bright pink Sharpee to darken them.  Then, I decided to use a black Sharpee to color a Tim Holtz bookplate piece.  That's when it occurred to me that I love how my dear scrappy friend, Deanna, pretties up some of her pages with black accents.  I quickly added the black, punched strip and matted the clockface.

Hope you're have a magnificent day!!
