Play time...

Yesterday was a great day for me.  I had my new friend Lynne over and she taught me to come out of my "clean" scrapper's box.  I have often seen "grungy" looking tags, journals, and even layouts and always wanted to try it.  But as much as I like the look, I've always thought I couldn't do it.  Thanks to Lynne I now know that I can!  And its not nearly as hard as it looks!!  Thanks Lynne!!!  :)  So this is my first attempt at a tag.  I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.  And now I'm hooked!  I'm ready to make some more.  :)

I also made a layout for the element challenge over at DesignDollies.  This time around the challenge was to encorporate "love" into your layout.  Immediately I thought of these pictures of Aden and Ian licking icing from when we frosted Christmas sugar cookies.  I just love their expressions of "yummmmmm.....".  Here in New Zealand, a tub of Betty Crocker icing is almost $6.  I'm missing the $0.97 tub at Walmart!  It was quite the anticipation to be able to lick the end bits of the icing.  The sketch is from the gals over at GetPicky for this page.  I used paint on this page thinking it looked like icing that had been spread.  Overall I am pretty happy with this layout.



After my day of playing, I super cleaned the house last night so I could play again today!  But first is my Weight Watcher meeting and lunch with Bryce and our teammates.  Then its play time!!  :)
