You Are My Sunshine

Hi there! 

Here's a layout I've done!  (it has been quite a while since I've done a layout...probably way before Christmas)

Anyway...it is based on a couple of challenges.
1.  The Paper Variety challenge is to make a fan embelishment on your project.  I did "fan" flowers.

2.  Creative Scrappers put out this sketch:

and
3.  The Scrapping Nook is having their January on-line crop right now!  The theme is OLD vs NEW.  One of the challenges is to use something new to me.  The paper from Echo Park's "times and seasons" arrived at my door on Friday, so that is my newest scrappy purchase.

Here is my layout:

 I turned the sketch on its side.

supplies used:  pp, stickers - Echo park "times and seasons"; buttons - my button jar; ribbon - unknown; thread - guttermann; distresser - tim holtz; adhesive - beacons & scrapbook adhesives

Happy birthday to me!

Today is my 37th birthday.  We celebrated by going out for lunch at Kettles and they served me a piece of cherry pie with a candle in it, and sang.  We then headed over to Leons to look at sofas.  Bought one.  They'll be delivering on Saturday.  Got the groceries and home.  Have had a low-key day ever since.
