last week, i put together this layout for robyn's challenge - i'm just a little late in the game for posting it... the challenge was to use chatterbox paper, brads and die-cut or hand-cut letters. the first two are pie for me - i use them on almost every layout anyway. the latter though - that's the challenge. i never, ever hand-cut stuff because it never, ever looks good (when i do it, i mean) and i don't have access to a die-cutting aparatus. well, i did it, i kinda cheated (note that only the i's in the title are actually handcut. the rest are stickers.) :) but i did it:
"my favorite element of my christmas decorations - my nativity scene. it took 3 christmases to complete the painting - I'm just so glad it's finally a part of my home.
the other layout is a new favorite that i did for no real reason. we're not really big into halloween (i'm sure that will change when we have cute little monsters to dress up...) so i struggle accumulating enough "publishable" halloween layouts such that i can have something to submit when those calls come around (and calls for halloween layouts will, believe it or not, be here shortly!). anyway, i'm currently working on a list of events/themes i don't have much material for, and then scrapping whatever acceptable photos i have in order to bolster my stash. these are some cute leftover photos from a trip to a pumpkin patch, 10/04. (yes, really.)
"halloween isn't of much interest to me, but i can always be talked into carving a pumpkin. this year, we accompanied our nephew who showed us the ropes of the local patch."
ok, that's it for me today. just wanted to share something. still intending to upload my HOF entry later - maybe tonight. i'll be home alone amusing myself while matt has his poker night anyway!
