Hot Off the Press-Masculine Collage

Good Evening, just been a lazy Sunday for me, but a good one too. Watched some TV, went for a walk which is scary as it is so very icy around here. Stopped by the garage as hubby/friend were working on a engine, not like I know a thing about that, but still it was a nice sunny warm day to be outside. I just got the lazyes today is all. After supper talked to my sister and then thought I should come and make a card, well here we go, not that I know of, but I am sure are some challenges out there, maybe I should go look for one or two. I bought this stamp set at the LSS yesterday, I feel in love with it, not sure why, it isn't something I normally pick, not cutesy or anything, but I was drawn to it. Then I thought what could I make with it, hope you like what I did.

Scrapbook Layout

Another installment of my last September's trip to BC. It was amazing to see all the different places on the island.
Thanks for stopping by.

This has been a fun album as I never made a 8 1/2 x 11 before. But so far it is going okay. I am using the Lilac House Pattern Paper from Fancy Pants. So cool all the different colors and shades in it. I use some vanilla ribbon, brads, prima flowers(which I just love), and leaves. So bling, and I used the border punch for a bit extra . Thanks again for stopping by.
