beachy keen...

Sharing a bunch of stuff this Saturday Morning...Here's a layout I put together:

You might recognize the pic from my trip down to Oregon last month. I tend to scrap with primarily black & white pics...there's a reason for that...I think that it is easier...I worry about coordinating colors etc...so when it came to this particular pic I was seriously struggling with it...I initially thought of using grey/navy but problem is, I don't have much in those colors...at all....so I took my hat and was inspired by the colors on that:)

All the paper is ala Echo Park...LOVE their stuff...a ton.

I was inspired by Twisted Sketch #63:

This week's twist is "Fold" - any how, any way!

So that's why I have that folded number on my page...it is held together with zig zag stitching ala vintage thread! Although it doesn't lay straight, I believe that is what gives the layout a whimsical feel:)

The canvas flower is Jillibean {patting myself on the back for not hoarding}, the buttons are PTI and the alpha is Thickers, of course:)

I Love this Life

{yes, I do!}

Next is a card using the Schlosser Designs Have A Tweet Day set:

All the patterned paper is Pink Paislee...I cut out the bird image...slapped on some Martha Glitter Glue and coated it with Martha Glitter! The pearls are by KaiserCrafts and the tiny bloom is vintage Prima:) Everything is nestled on a PTI Kraft base...

I've been loving the sketch challenges over on Skipping Stones Design:


Okay, I just wanted to share a couple more pictures from my recent mid-western vaca:) These were taken in a small, small, small town in Eastern Montana...I have 2 words for you:

Pitchfork Fondue:

I kid you not...it was pretty tasty:)

Check out their petite "elephant ears"...

I definitely had my taste of "small town living"....Could I ever live in a small town? I actually live in a small suburb of Seattle but the convenience of the access to big city happenings is something that I really enjoy:) Oh yeah, and I can't live without my Starbucks:)

Be on the lookout for my Blog Candy Slingings....bear with me since I'm also doing my Garage Sale this morning until 1 pm PDT :)
