Happy beautiful fall day !It was so nice here today { after torrential rains and wind yesterday! 100 mm of rain!!!}. It was a great day for a walk in Margaret Bowater Park with hubby who decided to take the day off with me! I actually took some really nice pics in the park the other day and hope to get them scrapped real soon. Here's a sneak peak of the beauty that I get to walk through every day!
Today , though, I thought I'd share a couple of LOs with you involving time lines. The first first Lo is of Chelsea on her very first and very last day of school! Where the heck did thirteen years go? I used the Bo Bunny line "Timepiece" for this plus some yummy Dusty Attic chippie pieces...specifically the skeleton clock face and the pocket watch. These pps were from my ScrapThat kit from a few months ago.
TIME FLIES
I really liked the sheet of corrugated kraft paper that was included in the kit. I used it for my title and then backed it with some red card stock that I cut on an angle to give it a more shadowed 3D feeling.
Here's a few more close ups. The Dusty Attic pocket watch was painted with acrylic paint , gold bits are Perfect pearls gold and I added several layers of Stampin' Up crackle emboss to age the "glass' face.
My other "timeline ' LO looks at time from a different perspective....Scott's perspective ! LOL.
So naturally that has to do with wheels! This is actually my submission for a new monthly contest going on over at Canadian Scrapbooker called "Sketchy Challenge". This month's sketch is by the talented Jill Sarginson from Ottawa, Ontario. She designs for a lot of sketch sites. You can check out her blog here.
Here's the sketch
and here's my take on it!
THE [R]EVOLUTION OF A GUY'S WHEELS
I'm sure it was only last year that he was burning around the kitchen on his Little Tykes scooter!!!! and now he's a car owner!!!! { notice I said owner NOT driver! LOL} He bought a "fixer upper" ..."It's a project car for me and Dad to work on " he said. He doesn't even have his licence yet! I suspect it will make a lovely snow block in the driveway come winter. Thanks for dropping by and now go check out that sketch challenge. You may get published ! Woohoo!
Wow Michelle another gorgeous LO .Love that B0-Bunny Time collection . I did a couple of LOs with it which I need to post . The photo of Margaret Bowater Park brings back memories for sure spent a lot of days there with my kids .Good lucky with the challenge .

Well, you are being so FAIR with your children's layouts, aren't you?? hee hee! Beautiful designs for each of them, Michelle!! I always enjoy pages with photos that span the years. Can hardly believe those are the same grown up kids! wow! Fabulous work!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE both of these so much. I need to do a "time flies" page like that. I can't believe how fast time goes by especially once you have kids..... Great take on the sketch for the 2nd layout. I think I may need to scraplift that one!
