Girl Time!!

HAPPY 4TH!!

I look forward to Girl Time each month, that's no secret. The event that got us started was a fundraiser called Crop for a Cause at our local Senior Center. We cropped all day, received goodie bags and a yummie meal. I am a slow scrapper, so even though these photos have been on my table for many, many months, I just completed a page using them.

If you notice the border on the left - you'll recognize it as the scallop die I used for a card the other day. It is the perfect length for a layout, and you can trim it to get two uses from one cut.

This layout started with one idea in my head, but gradually morphed into something totally different. I don't usually do such "messy" pages, but I think I like the look. It's representative of how I scrap - randomly and messy! I even managed to stamp my fav Club Scrap Coffee Stain stamp on the page ... 'cause I always have a drink beside me {diet coke}.

Retiring In Colors

Another share using the same scallop card die cut from Sizzix. I love this die! I may have to find a coupon and go buy it myself! As you can see, I turned the card on edge and worked vertically using Wild Wasabi as the base and Purely Pomegranate with River Rock as accents.



The images are more rub-ons from SAB. I thought about blinging it up just a little, but I think I like the simplicity of the card. In hindsight I wish I had chosen a darker rub-on for the sentiment or placed it on a matted piece of cardstock for emphasis. It's ok though, not a huge deal - let's just pretend that I love it just as it is!
