Enjoy your day

Melissia's birthday, May 1, 1984.  Celebrating with her class at Longfellow school in Sioux Falls, SD.   Used sketch number 53 at My Scraps & More Sketch Blog. 

Spider web cake

I signed up to take a Halloween dessert to the Thornebrooke Elementary School staff and teacher's luncheon.  The PTO does this once a month to support the staff.   We can't take homemade goodies to feed the students, but teachers are another story.  I made a spice cake with grated apples, chopped pecans and raisins - that makes it healthier, right?   The frosting is a cooked dark brown sugar with a little orange food coloring.  The web was added with the tube gel and the spiders are peanut M&M's.

Thanks for stopping by.

Crop

"My Scraps & More" is hosting a crop, and they have the best crops around.  I plan on being there - hope you will join me! 

Sweet cheeks

I used Sketch #49 from My Scraps & More sketch blog.    The background was created with damp sponges and a few drops of Poss Impressions ink   The colors were perfect for combining with Sassafras "Mix & Mend" and "Sew Fine". 

Documented

This layout was made using sketch 47 at My Scraps & More Sketch blog.  I combined it with the Mix it up Monday challenge - 1 cup brown, 1/2 cup red, 1/8th cup yellow and pinch of green.  Papers are some oldies from "Dream Street", journaling spot is from Echo Park "Grandma's Kitchen"; title piece is Echo Park "Little girl". 

kit swap

My swap kit from Lori over at My Scraps & More.  love those butterfly buttons!  Thank you Lori - now to find some photos that work with this.

Here's the layout I made with the papers and some of the embellies.  I covered the chipboard corner piece with newsprint pp, tore off some of the layers so it wasn't so thick.  Took a lesson from Sassafras and covered the flower, then wove the twine around it and added the center.
