Finally...

It's been brought to my attention that I haven't updated my blog in ages...Which is definitely true...
 
Being a scrapbooker, I find myself to be quite structured...Afraid to go out of the box...Try new things...
 
That being said, below is a layout that took me probably 5 days to complete...I was bound and determined...It's not way out of the box, but for me, it's progress...I used 2 different edge punches...I layered more than normal...I used spritz...I matted my photo in white, but then used a stampin up marker around the edges so that it popped out a bit...Flowers, bling, title, are pretty much the normal, but the other stuff is not...
 
So without further ado, here it is...Thanks for looking...I certainly hope that my next out of the box layout takes me less time...Maybe the more I do it, the quicker it will go and I'll be able to try more things, after all, it's only paper...

Maria's Field of Hope...

Well I certainly haven't posted in ages...Life seems to get in the way of doing many things that I enjoy...Here's hoping I do better in the future...

Just had to post these photos of sunflowers that I took today at Maria's Field of Hope in Avon, Ohio...I took scads of shots, but these by far are my favorites...

Being a cancer survivor, it was a very moving experience...
