Good morning and welcome to Sunday Sundries! A little informal link-up where I share what I’m celebrating this week and invite you to share what you are celebrating.
We just got home from Arizona and I’m in transition … ummm … there’s a snowbank in my front yard … and OK, in my back yard as well …
But not to worry! It’s spring, and that snow is melting fast. The geese are standing on the lake (yes, I said standing) honking and jostling for position; going through that eternal spring ritual of mating and building nests. It’s really quite wonderful and worthy of celebration.
I haven’t had time to get any new shots together so I thought I’d share my scrapbook layout which I made whilst still in Arizona. I used the beautiful Desert Globemallow and a page from Flow magazine. I then photographed it, took it into Photoshop and added a photo of myself (taken 5 years ago).
I’m totally fascinated with the dimension in this layout. I’m a scrapper from a long ways back, and mostly digital, and while digital shadows seek to add dimension, they don’t come close to the real thing. I also edited this with kk_dreamlike:
So what else am I celebrating?
How about a beautiful package from Cristina Colli arriving all the way from the United Kingdom?!
I entered one of my dinner plate art images to her #12monthsofhappystills on Instagram and she picked it for her February’s favourite happy still (I’m still pretty chuffed about that :)).
I’ll be sharing more of this later …
So, are you celebrating anything this week? Please share!
ooh, love that portrait page shot! sorry ’bout the snowbanks!
Thank you Theresa!
What you did with that top shot is AMAZING! Love it! All wonderful things to celebrate. Hope you have a great week…and lots of melting snow!
Thank you, Sarah!
Snow is still here too. As a matter of fact it was added to, just a bit yesterday! :-(
I love your portrait page. There really is a lot of dimension to it, which really adds so much.
Wishing you a great week, and a very Happy Easter.
Thank you, Lisa!
TAKE ME AWAY TO ARIZONA!!!!!!! I need me some SUN!
Love your scrapbook photo and how exciting to get mail, can’t wait to see what’s inside ;)) I’m celebrating having a For Sale sign in the front yard since yesterday, after MUCH hard work which has kept me away from my camera ! We have a showing on Tuesday ! Fingers crossed ! I’ve also been having fun decorating eggs for Easter, but haven’t posted in my blog for ages !
Hope your snow keeps melting !
Thank you Caz! Oh – how exciting – I hope you sell soon so you can get back to playing! :)
Barb, your digital scrapbook page is stunning! I keep buying and gathering elements, but I struggle with pulling it all together…I so admire your talent with that format. Yes, being featured is a great thing to be chuffed about! How exciting, and of course your work was stunning! Loved visiting here today! Have a lovely Easter week!
Okay, Barb, Now I’m dying to see what’s inside the envelope! Checked out your featured picture on Cristina’s site – so much beauty there – and your photo looked right at home! You always carry me along on your adventures – and I see and learn with you. You are such a treasure!
