Beauty - its every where

i finally did a layout - took long enough! haven't scrapped in ages.

i was walking last weekend by the river and saw these really pretty thistles. yup they're weeds, but they sure are pretty when they're flowering. you just have to look to see beauty! this week's walk might take me to a different part of the river... we'll see.

 i followed the Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine sketch challenge - sort of. the layers under the 3 pictures - like that idea.

and i followed the E.Y.E challenge of only using cardstock. and 5 techniques on the cardstock - stamping (which is hard to see in this picture), dry embossing, used a edge punch and the honeycomb die cut, and sanded. there's a little glossy on some of the pieces and i used some of my very very old rub ons and those basic grey chip shapes. wow. the cardstock was from 2008. crazy. the reason i know it was from 2008? it was in the package still, from when i went to Creative Escape in 2008 in AZ and managed to get to the Bazzill warehouse sale.

gotta use it up!

E.Y.E! - expend your excess. new challenge blog by Sue Sykes.

and i do have a excess in scrapbooking. loads and loads. so, yup, i'm going to try and use it up. i probably have enough paper to paper my walls at least 4 layers thick.

standing by and over.
