LOADS 8-11 Caught up at last!

I finished this first layout last night but it was too dark to take a photo. I've wanted to scrap this thing for a long time but didn't know just how to do it until I saw this orange paper with the one stray blue bird. Lizzy feels like that solitary bird (don't we all!) and has to catch up to herself once in a while. I gathered up all these pictures of her being silly just to remind her that it is perfectly wonderful to just be yourself. Now I just got two new kits and already have them mixed up in my head. But I think this paper came from the Jenni Bowlin. Metal from SU, envie and flowers from OSU group buy. I think the letters came from my stash.


I kind of lost my mojo Friday even though I really wanted to scrap. So I resorted to thievery on these next three layouts. These are practically straight lifts from the Scarlet Lime gallery. Thanks girls!

I used one panorama photo instead of a series of photos here, no journaling needed. Love the colors of these two kits.


I had about decided not to scrap these next photos. They were so disjointed. Then I saw them all in one pile and realized how they could fit on one layout. I hope to get some kind of story about why Lizzy took a picture of a burned out van and a wrecked taxi, so I left some journaling space. I'm going to have to buy another set of thickers because I am not happy about the patched 'e' on this.


This photo in the next layout is nothing without the journaling and is just a fun memory for Lizzy. I made the butterfly with my new SU punch, sanded the coodinations CS and tied embroidery floss into a body and antennae. When looking for letters I found this rub-on girl and like it for the theme. I came across this zipper while rummaging through my orange drawer. Anyone still have theirs? Finally I used it!!!
