In among the outdoor chores of the weekend I did manage to get one
layout done on iNSD! I am also working on a couple of other projects,
which will be posted in the near future. With the nice weather and
immediacy of needing to get the irrigation up and running to water the fields
so the steer will have something to eat in a few weeks required my attention on
Saturday. So glad that the pump and irrigation folks are working overtime
this time of year! Plus the poults (young turkeys), chicks, ducklings
needed to be moved to the outdoor chicken pen . . . yes, just snippets of time
to get some crafting in this weekend.
Fast forward another few days and still working on irrigation issues,
working a sub job, and working on stuff for the business. Finally have time to write a blog
post!
Found this nice little sketch (which I tweaked to use for two
photos) from Stick It Down.
These photos are taken just two days after my
son came home from Russia, and depicts the close bond he had already developed
with our two German Shepherds. (Gotta love his hair cut, short all over
with bangs in front, very popular in Russia at the time even with the adults!)
I used papers and scraps from the Die Cuts With a View Pet
Stack. The bones and hearts die cut is by KI Memories. It is the
reverse side with a bit of creative sniping to shape the die cut to following
the diagonal shape in the sketch. The front side is a brown (see this post and layout), and the reverse is white. To help it match the color
scheme of the papers I inked it up with a bit of Colorbox Dune.
Spellbinders Lacey Circles die cut the scalloped circle. From
the Queen and Company Dog themed Chip board a set I have had for years and
qualifies as NBUS (never before used schtuff) I found my title, Best Friend
plus the cute heart. A bit of Ranger Sunset Orange on the heart and
Pantone Tria (alcohol inks available before Ranger's) in Teal (320Ti) were used
to color the chipboard. The paw
print die cuts are from my stash.
The journaling stripes are white card stock that has been inked with
Colorbox Dune and the edges are inked with Colorbox Terra Cotta. The
journaling is done in Zig Ocean. I think it all matches and ties the
layout together! The vellum quote is from Flair Designs and fits the theme
of layout very well.
Glad I got at least one layout done on iNSD!
