Sunday Sundries

March 29, 2015 by Barb 11 Comments

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!

    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.

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 !

    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!
