Garden Potting Station

I have no idea why but I LOVE old doors.  There is just something so enchanting about an old chipped up door.  I have so many ideas in my head for cute projects that I could do using old doors.  Well not me exactly ... I have the ideas and Randy can but them together for me.  I'm blessed to have a husband that goes along with my creative schemes. 

Randy has a contractor friend who I told if he came across any old doors I would take them off his hands.  He called and said he had a couple of old doors.  At this point Randy said to take just one and we'd see how the project turned out.  This was not my original idea, I saw it on Pinterest.  Taking an old door and turning it into a garden potting station.  This is my take on it.  I love the way it turned out and wish we would have taken both doors.  There's always next time right!?

When I'm scrapping  I would rather spend my time looking for that perfect paper in my stash and concentrating on what embellishments I'm going to use on a layout rather than worrying about designing the layout from scratch.  That's why I like to start my scrappy projects with a good sketch.  What's a good sketch?  For me it's a sketch that appeals to the eye and accommodates the number of photos I'm going to be using. I completed this layout using the June mid-month sketch at Let's Get Sketchy.

This June sketch from My Sketch World was so fun to

work with I used it a second time for these photos of 

Faith-Anna and Leah.  Love how many different

looks you can get from one sketch.

So Very Sweet

I have a design team challenge up for the June Mini Crop at Creative Inspiration.  My challenge is to use a new ink technique on a project.  Check out the details here.

I created this layout of Leah using watercolor paper and alcohol inks.

"Vintage Baby"

I did this layout using the June 1st sketch at Let's Get Sketchy.

 

 

The dress that Leah is wearing was mine.  I can't believe it's almost 66 years old.  I have no idea how this little dress survived moving 9 times over the course of my life.  I do know that it warms my heart that Jessica took Leah's picture in it. 

I bet when my mother put it on me she never thought ...

someday my great granddaughter will wear this. 

Feeling Blessed!
