I started this page by anchoring the black star, red and pink circles, and yellow, feather, patterned papers, with black-threaded, straight, machine stitches, near the center of the red, cherry, embossed and distressed, base pages. After adhering my photos, in a grid-like fashion, down their combined center, I grounded everything with a few, Cameo-cut, from patterned paper, arrows leftover from another project, before turning my attention to the left side of the page.
The bottom left corner was anchored with a cluster made up of a couple of Cameo-cut, from patterned paper, feathers...
tied together with white chord, laced through a red button, and dressed up with a yellow, April 25, 2013 flag, as well as a bird, wire trinket.
A hand-cut, from patterned paper, "Remember This", chalkboard, word bubble...
and "SMILES", word sticker..
lead us to the "mahaffie farmstead" title, which was made out of black, canvas letters and a Cameo-cut, from Whisper White cardstock, "farmstead"...
and carries over to the right side of the layout.
Another word bubble, as well as a rooster flashcard and wax envelope, stuffed with a notebook, patterned paper journaling card, dressed up with a red button, laced with a white chord bow, grounds the right side of my photo grid.
The journaling reads, You cannot beat a beautiful, spring day at Mahaffie for their Growing Up Victorian Homeschool Program. We got to churn butter, grind corn to feed the chickens, plant corn, and ride the stage coach, all with the company of the Ginn girls.
And here's your Challenge #121 sketch to get your creative juices flowing.
Don't forget that you have until the close of the month, on Saturday, August 31, 2013, to link up your takes, in the right hand column of the Sketches in Thyme Blog, to be in the running to be named one of our monthly Top 3. Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm signing off for the weekend to do some catching up. Plus, my computer is going haywire. Pretty much everything associated with Microsoft isn't working, which means no sending or receiving emails, no editing pics or even uploading them for that matter, no just about anything. It's super frustrating, but I'm hoping we'll get things worked out to be on schedule for the first of three days of brand, spankin' new, Wplus9 Design, August/September Release goodies first thing next week. Can't wait to share! Until then, be blessed!
