Workaday no Play time.

Schedules at my work mean about as much as paper money in a monopoly game. I may be scheduled to have the weekend off but that doesn't mean I am going to have it off as this weekend is proof. However, I did get one layout thrown together this morning before I had to go to work. I really like the way this one jut fell together. I have had these leaves since the first year I started scrapbooking, I received them in a swap and was never sure what I would use them for and even thought of tossing them at one point.


Here is a layout I did yesterday for a challenge on a dear friends blog. She challenges us to step out of our box. I told her that I stepped so far outside my box that I fell into the pickle barrel. :)
I never use this many different paper companies on a single layout, I have used five here. Also I rarely use paper blocking and this is the first time that I have combined B/W and colour photos on a layout. Plus, I rarely use these huge alphas!


Okay in my last post I offered up some satin.. it should have read satin RIBBON. :)
I have oodles of it so don't be shy if you would like some. Personally I love to use it on both my layouts and cards mixed with a bit of lace. I used yellow on the first layout to give it a bit of pop and black on the layout above.

Jackie I love the autumn page, it pops off the black paper.

You sure are kind about all the satin ribbon but I can't believe you are giving away the precious stuff.
