The state fair was a great success! My cake took third place in its category (Novelty Design), and my scrapbook page entry took an Honorable Mention in the "Babies & Kids" category. Very nice! Here's me and my ribbons for posterity.
Now that all that craziness has moved on, I'm back to peacefully scrapping! Here's this week's contributions...
Love the colors! So bright and joyful, and perfect for our trip to the FAIR. (It's the ongoing theme in my life this month, excuse me.) And like the fair, I took the opportunity to be about as subtle as a sledgehammer.
It also gave me a chance to use these crazy cute bird stickers that I've hoarded for just the right moment.
I started in on this sketch with this photo, not realizing how nicely the "Three Generations" idea fit in with the repeating threes on the sketch. Serendipity takes such good care of me!
I'm thinking of framing this one up for my mum- she hasn't even seen the photos yet! She complained a lot on that day about the photographer shooting too low; she didn't want anything below her bust to show up on the pictures. Maybe a nice layout will make her let it go?
One more bit of good news: the ladies at
Punky Scraps chose my September contribution as their fav for that challenge! Thanks a million! That layout was one of my most favorite this year. It's amazing what you produce when inspired and driven out of your comfort zone!
