With Mum-In-Laws arrival imminent, I know my scrapping time is going to be almost non existent over the next week, so I’m squeezing in as much as I can & out of necessity have combined a couple of challenges in to this next one!!
… & then another Sketch challenge at ‘Dixie Pieces’…this time from Leah.
She chose a sketch from her favourite source, Creative Scrappers.
So with both of these challenges in mind I put my LO together…
The quote…”Stop Living Life For What’s Around The Corner & Start Enjoying The Walk Down The Street” Grant L Miller…is one I discovered recently on the home page at Soul Scrappers & it really struck a chord! So much so I now have it set in my blog sidebar as a daily reminder! I am so guilty of putting things off ‘until I lose weight’…it may sound a small & silly thing but life doesn’t stand still & in spite of all my good intentions & determination, my track record on the weight loss front means I stand to miss out on a lot! No more!!!
The photo’s I’ve used are two of my favourites taken in Chicago last year…Karen & I walking through the rain in a lovely neighbourhood street, taken by Hilary & my impromptu attempt at pole dancing in a branch of Paper Source, later that same morning, taken by Karen.
I bought these Prima PP’s in 2008! Intended for a Christmas LO that never materialised, so it was nice to put them to use! I managed to follow the sketch quite accurately, but did get a bit carried away with the flowers!!!
Right, I’m off to blitz bathrooms & yes Karen, the bed is now clear, freshly made up & there’s not one iota of evidence as to how I spend my days in total relaxation….yeah right!! I wish!!! LOL!!
Thanks for stopping by & Happy Wednesday!! : )

Thanks for the reminder of the fun we had in Chicago on this grey day.
Fancy that, never had you down as a pole dancer! Great photos, they must bring back so many fun memories of a wonderful trip.
Great interpretation of the sketch too!

What wonderful color and I adore the flowers!!!!
Wishing you a great time with your upcoming visit with you MIL!!!!
Love you girlie!!! You always make me smile!!! :-)
Am totally with you on the 'until I lose weight' front....I must stop thinking that.
Just love the LO.
Now that's a quote to live by :) ... Just love your layout using it, it really looks like you're having the time of your life.
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this Sandi!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE those photos and LOVING that quote!!! WOWW!!!!! Thanks soooooooooooo much for playing along with FAVE THINGS! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Sandra was pissed as usual,we tried to stop her mounting the pole.It was VERY embarrassing.But not as much as Hilary pointing out to the shop assistant that she was making silly,funny noises.Yep she had tourettes!!!!
This is a great version of that sketch. I share the sentiments of the Quote too - I have been trying to do just that recently, as it's too easy to make excuses and just do nothing.
I like the papers, and how you've included all the luscious flowers. It's a fun and happy scrap page!
Beautiful layout! hehe on the Pole Dancing! Have a nice visit with MIL!
Oh my, how do I love your layouts?! And that sounds like a *great* philosophy for life :-)
PS Couldn't quite bring myself to leave a comment on your previous post, due to the swearing. Ir*ning? You should be ashamed of yourself.... ;-)
First of all I always love your layouts and second of all when I arrived on your blog Bohemian Rhapsody which made me start to laugh because I just tried to sing that on rock band 3 with my son the other day and failed miserably. Just so you know, I am fairly good at Rock band as long as no one outside the house is listening ;0). Anyway enough about me, I never get tired of your work. You always amaze me!
This is beautiful! Loving those cutted flowers, the colors and that quote is fantastic!
Thank you so much for playing along with us at fave Things!
Lovely ,gorgeous page and I love the new blog header :-)
