How delightful for you to have spent some quality time together. I love the added touches you brought to this page while you followed the sketch. I think it is all really beautiful. fave
Look at all that fussy cutting! I admire anyone who fussy cuts, one of my least favorite things in the world to do, and I don't do it well! You did beautifully. This layout is gorgeous!
not chaotic at all. more like bits and pieces all coming together to form/create one WONDERFUL lo. just like the crazy lives you described all coming together to create one enjoyable, memorable day. LOVE this!
Love this ...love the butterflies and the big clock beautiful !! I wish my layouts would end up looking like this but I try but they always end up looking he same as always .
Brilliant as always. Your colour palette was perfect for this photo. Those journal shields and the calendar shield are a perfect touch. That clock cut out - perfect! Very effective layout. So glad my family is not the only one that is chaotic with the world of living. Love your distressing and layering. Way to go meeting the challenge brief.
I posted this photo the other day, with details on my forgetful memory and how frustrated I was to have walked off without her birthday present. And that was part of it, but the other part is this ..
We drove into Tulsa because Beth had a day off, Tom had a day off, I had a day off, and Tony (my son-in-law) had a day off. That is SO hard for us to coordinate between our work and activity schedules, so when we can manage it, we like to get together and celebrate, even if it's NOT anybody's birthday.
When it's your birthday, you get to pick the place we eat. Beth chose El Tequila, and it was a fantastic choice. The salsa was spicy hot, the drinks were icy cold, and the food was just this side of heavenly delightful. We had a great visit - always too short - and got our hearts and lives reconnected. The only thing missing was the younger daughter, but she was working, so I guess you can't have everything.
Hubby drove into town the next day to take the forgotten shoes, which fit perfectly and delighted her to no end.
I think this layout looks a little chaotic, kind of like our family schedules, and it FEELS like my family - all flitting around doing their own things without any regard for whatever else is going on around them. We're tied together by blood, but our individual lives are completely our own. Weird how things like that take a life of their own when you begin creating around them.

This is for the AGC Weekly Challenge #3 ... The Winter Olympics
Specs were 1. A photo taken during a winter month. 2. A watch, clock, or featured numbers 3. 3-5 patterns on the papers 4. 3-5 matching (teamed) embellishments 5. At least 1 ribbon 6. Title work done using one or more of the colors of the Olympic flag 7. And at least one word from the winter games events must appear on your page.
Here's how I did it. 1. Photo taken in February. 2. A fussy cut clock scrap (and am I glad to get it used and out of my scraps box!) 3. Five patterned papers 4. A set of chipboard butterflies, bumped up with yellow decorative brads 5. A little brown lace hem tape ribbon 6. Title in black and yellow 7. Words "free" and "short" used in journaling.
It was enough to keep me busy all day, but I did it, thanks to some help from the Monthly Sketch Challenge!
