Happy NSD & May Day!!!

It is an absolutely G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S day here in southern New Jersey! It is hard for me to be inside right now, but since I got up extra early (to get stuff done) and since I'll be spending time outside this afternoon at Becca's game I don't feel too bad about spending a little time in my scrappy space.

Well finally finished up that layout I started last weekend...it's a 2pager and it's "lumpy". I don't think I've done many "lumpy" layouts before but I like it. It was totally inspired by one of the sayings on the "strips" pattern paper from the Fancy Pants "Road Show" collection that was included in the kit. I'm on a mission to use some of my stash so I added in some embellishments that I've had laying around...but you will definetly see the kit in it too!

So this morning I actually did a 4th layout, just printed the picture so I'm waiting for it to dry before I adhere it to the layout....
I managed to get a red, white , and black layout out of this kit! Crazy since I see turqupoise, pink , and black looking at the kit. (I did have to use a piece of white cardstock from my stash) But all the PP's are from the "Fancy" kit. I used those FAB chipboard letters from Pink Paislee available as an addon, some JBS sprouts from the store, and some buttons and a couple of clear acrylic accents from my stash. It has such a different feel from my other layouts! The DT will be posting their layouts on the 5th (also know as Cinco de Mayo or my b-day...you only have 4 days left to get me a gift:wink:))...stay tuned!

So that's what I got for now. Soccer this afternoon, soccer again tomorrow, hoping to also get pictures of my projects and the newsletter blurbs done tomorrow as well as a little gardening.
May get back in my scrappy room tonight. For those of you scrapping...enjoy the day!

Talk later.
