Caerphilly Castle

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  Did you have a good weekend?  I did--I went to see Wonder Woman yesterday and it was AMAZING.  I can't wait for it to come out on digital/DVD so I can watch it again!  I left the hubs and the tiny human at home to go see it by my onesies, and then I went to Target.  And then when I got back to my car I opened what I thought was a bottle of flavored water and it turned out to be carbonated ICK which exploded all over me and the inside of my car.  So like an Amazon warrior, I destroyed it and did a load of laundry after I cleaned out my car ;)

But anyway!  Let's check out today's scrapbook layout, shall we?

More pictures from our 2014 Wales road trip, can't believe it's been three years already.  See the photos here.  What's funny is I chose to use Bravo Burgundy and So Saffron to go with the picture of the mannequin on Ye Olde Water Closet, and then I didn't use that pic on the layout.  Well, I'm weird like that.

I've been using Jayne's Type (the bigger alphabet) and Rough Type for all my Wales page titles.

Here's a slightly blurry closeup of the flowers I fussy-cut as accents.  I kinda think maybe I should add a few Watermelon Wonder flowers like the one next to the title...

Today's color palette:  the recently-retired Watermelon Wonder, long-retired Bravo Burgundy, still current So Saffron, medium-retired Midnight Muse, and will-never-retire Whisper White.  Hee.

I didn't actually get any pages done over the weekend, but I do have one layout sitting on my desk that's 75% done.  I'm going to go tackle that while the tiny human is asleep :)  Cheers, y'all!

We're All Mad Here

I've been working on this for the past two days:

In March, I'll be hosting a Mad Hatter tea party like I did last year.  I had ideas for decorations last year that I never got around to, so I'm starting early this time and I've got two helper bees this year where I did it all by my onesies last year.

So anyway, I'm mad here because I hand-cut every single letter and almost all of the flowers (the smallest pink and yellow flowers were punched out), which is why this took me two days to make.  But I like how it turned out, what do you think?  I once again used my favorite Bodacious Bouquet and a variety of other bold flower stamps, and the letters are a template from a company I kinda think is no longer in business (at least, that's what Google seems to be telling me).

Have a great day!  I'm off to my next mad idea...which is probably walking the dogs :)

Supplies:
Stamps:  Bodacious Bouquet, Eastern Blooms, Fabulous Flowers, One of a Kind, Paradise
Ink:  Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry
Paper:  Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Whisper White, Kaleidoscope DSP (the old one, not the one that's out in the Occasions catty now)
Accessories:  non-SU lettering template

ETA for Mom:  The frame size is 16 by 20, and the opening is 11 by 14, so I started with a 12x12 piece of cardstock and added the patterned paper to the top and bottom to get 14 inches.  I happened to have this empty frame sitting around because I'd planned to do some kind of home decor with it and just hadn't gotten around to it, so it's been put to use now!  I can always switch this out for something else later if I want to.
