Back to the Grindstone

After a necessary break, I'm back, and seemingly with a vengeance. Life, apparently, goes on with or without you, so I'm not wasting a moment more of mine.

A recent Scrapbook Challenges DT Social event, generously and kindly sponsored by Nikki Sivils, The Paper Trail, Lawn Fawn and The Cutting Cafe, saw a flurry of creativity as we produced layout after layout.


This is the first one I produced - a real challenge for me because I'm not really a flower fan any more. It's about the time we went to Corfu and got engaged.



I used some rolled up Greek Drachma as a decorative element (they were long gone by the time we went to Corfu, but I had them and it was a nice touch, I thought).


And I used A LOT of flowers, including stamping some in acrylic paint. Which I think looks rather nice.


In the spirit of things, I'm going to keep this short to go off and do all the things there are to be done.

  3. I love everything about this work of art, the way the flowers flow is so natural, and the acylic stamping is perfect. What a great idea of rolling up the money. It is just perfect!
