Old Tractor

Nope your eyes are not deceiving you I did actually make something. I did however have to force myself to create after a month? of nothingness, is it the winter blues or the my new found interest in photography thats keeping me away? I dont know. Even tho I had to force it, I think it turned out to be one of my fav LOs :) I hope you like it too, maybe it will inspire you if you are going through this tough patch of winter too.

scrap-ivor 2

we were challeneged this week to either be inspired by animals or some forever 21 jewlery, I choose the jewlery. This LO is of me, boy the things I would tell that lil girl if I could the things I would warn her of, to reassure her that it will be ok. When I picked these pictures I knew exactly where I wanted to go with this LO just needed a sketch which I got from got sketch? blog. The bottom two pics are close ups of the bling around the U and the fuex pleating.

Definition of a man

This is a very important LO to me as it is one of the only pictures I have of my grandfather who passed in 2006. I like it but I don't know if it got everything that he deserves. Hmmm gonna have to sit on this one and think about it for awhile.

Journaling reads "while I have had many of men to look down upon, there are a few that I look up to" Everything is digitally stamped and CTMH papers. I used Got Sketch's Sketch # 69 thank you got sketch for the inspiration.
