A little bit of brown - a little bit of color.

This is the prototype of the wedding name tags. Not great lighting, not a great picture, but you get the idea. My niece will be married outside in her parents’ garden and they have an absolutely fabulous garden so the decorating ‘theme’ is flowers, flowers, and more flowers - in every color of the rainbow.

Also working on a scrapbook I started a couple weeks ago at retreat after seeing a very similar album one of the ladies had completed. I love the paper (Stampin’Up) and was able to use lots of scraps of brown - big and small. This was a joy to do. I am truly blessed with two beautiful grandsons.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other is a phrase we use here in Newfoundland when trying to choose between two very similar options.

We are in the planning stage of another scrapping weekend and have all agreed to bring along a six-pack of our favorite 12 x 12 design papers to swap.

I’ve finally decided on what I will part with - I think - and it’s mostly double-sided paper with both sides equally fun. If I had to choose the best side - well, it would be six of one and half a dozen of the other!

Here’s my paper! I love the Bo Bunny ‘boy stuff’. Love the browns and greens and golds. The blackboard print I’ve used a lot in school layouts. The trick or treat paper is another I’ve used a lot - in Halloween layouts - and I stock up when I see it. My Camp paper I used in my May 24 layout. Perfect! 

Finally! We have snow! Winter is here - great for the skiers and snowmobilers and all those who love to play outside in all this lovely white stuff. Myself, all I see is something that needs to be pushed out of the way with a shovel. Yuk! That said, winter does provide lots of outdoor photo ops resulting in some pretty spectacular layouts. I love the layout Winter Angel I finished a couple weeks ago.
