Almost there

There is nothing quite like a new photo and a color challenge to inspire me to sit down and scrap. The last couple of days I have been having the feeling like this pregnancy is not going to last much longer and I am feeling the need to capture it, document it..........like all amazing moments, when the time is gone, there is no getting it back and no faking it. So with this layout I am baring the bump and showing that I am proud to be round {for the moment}

I printed my journalling over 2 Core' Tags and used elements and papers from October Afternoon's new cake walk collection. The Chevron button is from Greatest View

and had some fun making my own Chevron with Core'Essentials

I guess I am just on the band wagon with this trend.....but really how can I resist, they look so cool!!

I will keep you all posted.......

Something pretty and new

I love finding new and wonderful things and this weekend while blog cruisin, I came across Pretty little Studio. Apparently they have been around since at least mid 2010 and they have some seriously wonderful and whimsical retro products. So since I was in a scrappy kind of mood I looked up their most recent sketch challenge and played along. 

I played along with what I had on hand.......a mix of Echo Park, Jillibean Soup, the awesome embossed word Cardstock is from the color me happy collection by Core'dinations and that fabulous sun burst is from Greatest view

So I'm off to have a lazy sunday and do a little scrappy shopping.

Green Concern

This month there is a huge focus on our planet in my community, our school has gone green, reducing garbage and encouraging more reusable products. In my home we celebrated Earth Day Last week by turning down the heat and using less lights. I planted several new trees and started a veggie garden. On top of these things I still worry about what other ways I can change my life to work better for both my budget and mother nature. That is the focus of this layout.

I used a variety of lines from October Afternoon and this beautiful embossed Cardstock from the Basic grey  Core'Impression line. Other goodies like this adorable black bird are made by My little bit of Whimsy, and the sun burst button by a marvellous company in Australia called Greatest View.

 I hope I have gotten you thinking about some of the changes you could make to help out our planet.

Have a wonderful weekend

TTFN:)
