I've been published again in the new May/June issue of Scrap-n-Art... see page 10. It was a design team lay-out I did for Red Oak Lines. Stayed tuned to the Etsy shop that will be updated with new goodies this month!
Sarah of Red Oak Lines asked me to do a photo swap with her & I immediately said YES! She is one talented scrapper that never ceases to inspire me with her fun, colorful & happy layouts. Check out her flickr gallery... I love it! Here's what I did with her photo, taken recently of her in Maui. She is one of the few people I know that travels for fun more than I do...
I machine-stitched the border & hand-stitched the sun & the rays. The palm tree trunk was made out of cardboard & I inked it a bit to give it a little more definition. I hope you like it, Sarah, I sure did enjoy doing this! Check out the layout she made with Bryn's photo! I LOVE IT!!! Thank you SO MUCH... I felt honored & flattered that you asked me to do this with you!
"I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends" is the challenge/song up at Scrapping Across the Universe... going up today. I did a little machine stitching on mine, as well as some hand-stitched "rays" for the sun. It was inspired by Sarah's Joys of Freedom layout. I wanted a Fiesta-like color combo since we were drinking margaritas in the photo...
And speaking of FIESTAS... can you believe that Cinco de Mayo is just 4 days away? I'll be spending it with Fleetwood Mac, my mom & my sister (and probably a maragita or two beforehand)...
And a HUGE thank you to Molly for creating my cute little Scrapping Across the Universe blinkie! You rock, Mol!
Happy Friday!
Congrats on the publication and I just love the layouts! Hope you have a weekend full of sunshine and smiles!
