Well, things have been a bit crazy today, and I’m relieved to say that now we are finally winding down. Today was just one of those run, run, run days….and this is still our vacation! Nothing thrilling, just errands and hair cut and carting friends around and swim practice. But at least we are now done for the day, the kiddos have been fed and I can finally sit down at the computer. Aaahhhh……..
So that means I can share my page for the Random Chaos challenge blog. This week’s challenge is to use shaped cardstock or patterned paper anywhere on your layout. With all the great scalloped and die-cut papers out there, this was a fun and easy challenge to do.
All the patterned paper on this came from a 8×8 specialty paper pack that Making Memories made exclusively for Archivers. The colors in this pack PERFECTLY matched my daughter’s funky swimsuit. I’ve held onto this photo for years waiting for just the right stuff. The felt alphabet is from Creative Imaginations and the letter stickers are American Crafts that I lightly inked to match. The trim is from Fancy Pants, and the buttons are Foofala. I cut the felt fishies from craft store felt and hand stitched some “waves”. And lastly, there are a couple of transparency swirls from Hambly.
This picture of Nik just makes me want to sigh.
Sigh……..
This was her first trip to the ocean. Look at those pudgy little legs. How come they grow up so fast?
Have a great night!
I bought that MM pack at Archivers on Saturday. Can’t wait to use it!
