Is It Really September?

This is a layout I did from a sketch that my friend Irene did for a for a feature for Scrap In Japan . She is a guest designer this month, For more info and a link to the Magazine http://scrapperlicious.blogspot.com/2009/09/guest-designer-of-scrap-in-japan.html. I still need to submit this. I used papers from several companies and the embellies and flowers all came from Pages In Time Store http://pagesintimestoresite.ning.com/and for the background piece I cut a piece of acrylic and then embossed using Distress embossing powder. You really have to fuss around and do a section at a time to get it to curl evenly because it does curl. Keep pokey tools handy (skewers) This is a layout that I did using Sketch 35 from 52Sketches52Weeks. I have been so busy lately I haven't been doing the 52 sketches and they are one of my fave sites. The paper here is the new Basic Grey Indian Summer. These are photos of Claudette from her first fall 10 years ago. I can't believe she will be 11 next month.

Basic Grey Indian Summer again.This is a Pile It On Challenge Card. Pile It On http://pileitonchallenge.blogspot.com/ Birthday Die Cut Dreams Challenge Blog #13http://diecutdreams.blogspot.com/ Orange and Chocolate and the sketch is from Little Paper Shop http://littlepapershop.blogspot.com/. I just love doing these kind of challenges. Again I haven't been able to do too many lately.
