Bonaventure....

Good Morning,

Today is challenge 10 at Sketches in Thyme, already?!!!! I'm so very pleased to share this sketch with you, it comes to you by Helen Croft of scarp-a-littlesketches.com.

I love this sketch....

Here is what I came up with....this is a trip to Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, GA. I know that this is the most beautiful and peaceful place I have ever seen on earth.

My journaling goes on to say that I imagine Heaven to be like Bonaventure.

I used all K & Co papers, Bazzill Bloom, brads and bling from Hobby Lobby and the ink is CTMH.

I hope you take a few moments to visit the Mavens and allow them to inspire you. I hope the sketch makes you want to play along with us! Don't forget we have a prize for August, you can see it in my sidebar.

Blessings,

Savannah Beauties....

Good Morning,

Major blogger issues again this morning....

Well, my Gran had her thyroid ultrasound yesterday, we will not know anything until later this week. She also had her stitches removed. The back of her head is VERY bruised and tender, but she is so relieved to have them out and can actually shampoo her hair as normal now. She will go in July to a cardiologist for some more testing on her heart. So please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and a huge Thank You to each and everyone who continues to ask about her and your prayers.

At any rate, I'm playing along with my Practical Scrappers dt sister, Heidi, in her June sketch challenge.

I can not get the sketch to load, so check it out here.

This sketch is just beautiful and I knew that I wanted to do some of my Savannah photos with it. My three great friends and I visited Savannah in April 2009. I have got to get this book started.

I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Please visit Heidi and play along with her this month!

blessings,

Go Where There Is No Path....

Happy Columbus Day!
I hope this is a holiday for you! Our Fall Break is over and I'm back to school today. The students will not come today. We are having a Professional Development day for teachers. Last year's test scores are back....
Anyways, it is Monday and that means reveal day at Practical Scrappers! Have you been there this week? Lots of exciting new changes going on! First, we're not a blogspot and longer. Now we are practicalscrappers.com. We have a fun new message board where you can chat and share layouts, cards, recipes, and just get to know one another. Go check it out! Oh, and the DT Call is still going on until the end of October. We have added some new faces, be sure to read about them, visit their blogs, and leave a welcome note!
So without further ado, here is my layout for this challenge. Our supply item this week is lace cardstock. I just happen to have this yummy lace stock and decided to use it with some Wild Saffron from K & Co. Everything just came together so quickly on this one. I decided to bling it up too. These photos were taken at the Breaks Interstate Park last September (2008). My Ashlea was walking down a trail looking for squirrels. We came to this little fork in the path, I knew I wanted to do a layout using this quote as the title. I took the photos hoping these would work for that title and they did! I don't know if you can tell, I sanded the edges of my photos to add some distressing. Let me know what you think about this one!
