Hey everyone!
Boy is it hot here today, not sure what the temperature is but
the kids have been keeping cool in the water...at least 3 of them have.
Emily is sick this weekend - they have taken turns
being sick and she is miserable. It doesn't help that
today is a scorcher ;0(
So there was a lot of mixed reviews about the movie
The Time Traveler's Wife...after I finished the book, of course
I had to go out and watch the movie......... I was
a bit disappointed the movie just skimmed over this story and I
couldn't believe they left Kimy out....a main character!!
I'll have to watch it again without a crucial eye - I might enjoy it more!
So, I realised I hadn't shared my Master's entries for last year.
This was my 3rd time entering the competition and
the second year I received an Honourable Mention. I found this
criteria quite challenging - I don't do double layouts as a rule, mainly scrap
with one photo and no OTP??? I was a tad disappointed there
was no OTP last year........maybe I was the only one??!?
Here is my layout with large photo. Featuring Miss Sophie...........
I cut up some elements from a Little Golden Book to use in this layout
to help the story of my little skinny, scrawny girl ;0)
Next, the sketch..................
This one had me running for the hills. I really had a hard time with it.
I ended up shifting the sketch over and adding a border which
I regretted straight away......................
A close up, love this little acrylic sun :0)
Now the double layout using a colour combo.
I think it ended up looking a bit drab.......................
and some embellies..................
There you go....it wasn't third time lucky for me.
I was so impressed with the quality of the work in the magazine.
I really loved seeing so many newbies in there too. I think if I have another
go I'll have to step up my game....by a lot!
Off to cool down!!
Thanks for dropping by.
xoxo
