You know those days when a few things go well and you get really happy and excited- well I am feeling it today!!

I created this layout last fall after Austin’s first day of school- despite his face in the picture he was really excited to go (he just wanted me to stop taking photos!!). This is still one of my all time favourite layouts. I used the Notebook paper (which is still my favourite of all time) and the Treasure Life stamp set. The page is actually a Level 1 pre-printed page that I added to. I used staples as one of my main accessories as they really give the page a rough and masculine feel. What a great memory!!

Have you ever considered submitting your artwork to a national publication?? Wouldn’t it be great to see your stuff on the pages of one of your magazines?? Many times we forget that this option is open to us OR we think that our work is not good enough– well I say take the chance! get it out there- you may surprise yourself!!

Today my brother’s fiancee, Lianne, came over with some of her bridesmaids and her mother in order to make her wedding invitations. They just got engaged two weeks ago and have decided to have their wedding this September- it did not leave a lot of time to order stuff.
Since it is a fall wedding they wanted to keep that look throughout the wedding- from dresses to the invites. Lianne looked through my card books and fell in love with the above card (it is in Originals on page 75 “Background Bar”). We made 56 of them today!! They turned out very nice!
To get the colour in the leaves I inked the stamp in the lightest colour and then ‘rock n rolled’ the edges of that stamp in a darker colour before stamping. This made the leaves more fall-like!
