So I thought I would quickly pop in and post my last layout with the Boys of Summer kit. Remember when I posted the first layout and I was a little afraid that I would have trouble with this kit since it was so "little boy" specific?... Well, I guess I got over that LOL. I am so happy that I really got a lot out of this kit and was able to adapt many of the die-cuts.
Without further ado:
See what I mean about adapting the die-cuts!!! If you are thinking "that die-cut has nothing whatsoever to do with that page" ... you are right LOL. But I decided to use it simply because the critter is making the same goofy face I am on the photo and his arms are spread out like mine! Reason enough I say, plus the colours match!
The supplies: I was really down to scraps for this layout. The background cardstock is from my stash as I did not have a single piece of 12X12, cardstock or paper, left.
- The burlap stickers were left over from the Either Way kit, as were a couple of the other stickers
- I am not sure if the hello wood veneer was from this kit or a left over from another, but the spread you wings was from my stash
- The little gold circular pieces were left over from those totally yummy gold thickers we got with the Either Way kit
- I used Glimmer Mist on the corners
The story: There is no real story to this one. It is an everyday photo from my year-long backpacking trip to Europe. I spent two weeks in Sevilla, Spain in November of 2005 and loved every minute of it. I have shared quite a few pages from this portion of the trip already. On this photo, I simply wanted to show the size of the tree. If you know me a little, you know I am a nature lover and yes I admit, somewhat of a tree-hugger ;). This tree was not in a park or anything; just there along a wide-alley walkway, in the center of town. The only other place I have seen trees this size was in the California Redwoods area!!!
So there you have it, just a quick visit from me today... For once, I am sparing you from my usual ramblings LOL, but never fear, it is a short respite. I will be back, ramblings and all shortly; maybe even tomorrow if I can get my DD act together.
Thanks for stopping by as always and have a wonderful scrap-filled day. Hugs xo
