Hydrangea Hue Hydrangeas

Mornin' y'all.  I didn't have time to get this post written before I took Ryan to his summer camp this morning, but we're here now so let's go:

I pulled out some very retro stamp sets for the Inspired By... Challenge:

And I colored in my hydrangeas with Hydrangea Hue : ) I don't know why this specific hydrangea popped in my brain for this challenge, I have several other ones, but it was nice to play with it again.  I can't even remember what I was looking for when I came across Painted Petals, which I used for the stripes and the greeting, it just seemed to be a good idea.  One die cut from Textured Notes, a bit of fussy cutting, and she's done.

I have about 45 minutes until I need to leave to pick Ryan up...and I think I might have to take a nap in that time.  I have been a zombie all summer thanks to a change in my thyroid medication and it's been miserable.  Hoping I can get that changed soon.

Cheers, y'all.

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  As promised, I'm back this week with the second layout of my Feltwell flowers.

The page base is Bashful Blue, sometimes the colors don't turn out in the photos I take of my layouts.

Thought I'd go super-simple and just hand-write the title with a little butterfly accent.

And there's my other butterfly, which is stamped above and again below the journaling.

Today's springy color combo:  Bashful Blue, Garden Green, Crushed Curry, and Real Red (in the photos).  In fact, if you scroll back up you'll see that I intentionally arranged the photos so the red forms a visual triangle.  Helps move your eye through the layout, there's a little design tip for you ;)

Cheers, y'all!
