A few more Scrap Pages

So it is a HUMID Sunday...humid? It is late September and it is suppose to feel like fall- we're not suppose to be having several days of damp high 70s degree weather this late in the season...mayeb a day here and there but we've been having this mini-heat wave since last Thursday. It's been not too sunny but warm. That's good because with sun it would probably be even warmer. I guess you just don't know with this New England weather.

So I can't believe we have another week of September...not that I am in any rush for winter or COLD weather, but between the humidity and the fact the September doesn't seem to end...transistion months-September and March. I mean, I've been in school for a month already...but feels like a lot longer.

So yesterday I spent a chunk of the day scrapping...home alone, did lots of pages, what fun! And I started reading another part of the Sookie Stackhouse companion that I picked up at Target on Friday. I'm really in a book-reading mode lately. Am reading the short story in the begining of the book and I wonder if Eric or Bill or any vampire will be in it or not. Interesting book, there's a recipe section, a compendium to the novels...at least so far. I read yesterday the author's preface...some cool facts about how the story came to be.I need the the novel compendium to rememer what happened in each book...but I really want to reread a few of these novels this fall.

And today is RACE day. I am excited!

Will tell you more tomorrow.

On one of the bridges going out to the Outer Banks. I used some old velum tags I had in my stash, wrote some notes around the background paper.

And this page is a journaling page- I found the Life is Good stciker at the Life is Good store in Duck. I added some gemstones, white distress ink on the border and a black Sharpie outline.

And this page is a bit busy I think, but I hope the gold sparkly stars and the arrow help pull it together a bit...I don't dislike the page...and I like the big vacation word I doodled in...

Oh well...that;s all I have for today.

Enjoy yours...

It'll be another work week in just a blink of an eye...

Boy...I think I need a vacation thinking like that!

Another Monday is Here

So first of all, I've finally started reading a new book-finally-I hadn't literally opened my last book or any book for 2 weeks...just no time to read. But anyhow, yesterday since it rained all day, I scrapepd for hours-another fabulous day in the studio-and then I finished reading my book. So anyhow, here's my newest read! 

 So here's a page from Northern California, Crescent City to be exact and Redwood National Park right south of Crescent City.

Cool sign to show locoation-where we were at and where some of the next pages were set at. I punched some notebook edging on some trimmed down paper. Then I added a tag or 4, some 7Gypsies tape, some twine and some green Viva pearl dots.

I

At the Crescent City pier, a bunch of snoozing seals on a dock. I distressed the bacjrgound and stamped circles, hand wrote out the words, stamped the  arrows, added some die cut sanddollars and starfish...

And on this page, I added some plaid paper, a tag which I stamped with Hero Arts clouds and a paperbag Studio saying, some 7Gypsies tape and some die cuts plus those Viva pearl dots.

And lastly, this page is first made by stamping a big checkerboard stamp on the background...I added the photo , some Hot Off the Press stickers, a die cut tag, a piece of Basic Grey paper and a die cut tag...plus some more Viva dots.

So have a great Monday... our National Honor Society is putting on blood drive today so I need to be there 2 blocks out of the 4 today...then I need to bring Katie back to school this evening since she has a physic review session for one of her finals this week...probably no studio time today...but since I got tons of time this weekend-that's ok...I guess.

Happy Day!
