Lemon Drop Layout for SATW


































What a super cheerful mood board!

Why thanks to the fine peeps at Scrap Around the World, look at the fun challenge we have to play with!

It inspired me to pull this page together with some fun circles and scallops, not to mention some mists, inks, and pretty flowers.


















It was a fairly cold morning when I took these photos and the frosty deck looked like sparkles.

So I did not redo the photos although there is quite a lot of shadow. ;-)


























My favorite part of this page happened quite by accident...I call it glitter leather.


























The other day, my glitter got clogged. Being a reasonable and patient person, I cut off the tip and squeezed really hard.

Yes, the clog dislodged and at least a third of the bottle ended up on the side of the trash can on the plastic bag where it dried to a nice little gold sculpture. When I peeled it off just for fun, I thought it might be cool to try to use.

So, there you have it, a fun pretty little page of my side lawn and my room with a little peek of a rainbow! The silo that you can see belongs to neighbor Joe, so I can't claim ownership of that!

Thanks Shirley for hook me up with that photo!

The title is from:    


Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops

And a little song by George Line to that talks about Lemon Drop (as in the drink) that amuses me every now and again. It is also cheerful!


Happy Hump Day Peeps!
