I haven't posted anything in over a week, not because I haven't been making cards; I've been busy doing just that, and doing layouts to teach at the store and for the monthly kit club. I'm also making cards for a card class I'll be teaching October 24th, at By Design. I'll share some of what I've been working on. Enjoy and as always, TFSB 
We're serving up Lemon Meringue this month at Le Bistro Rose Kit Club. The layouts, card and painted wooden frame are my contributions to the meal. We are given a kit, filled with great papers, cardstock, ribbon and embellishments, and asked to work exclusively from that. We are able to add paints and a few other items. Talk about challenging your creativity, but at the end of the day, I can say that I had a great time. Head on over to the Bistro to see the kit and other great creative dishes: http://www.lebistrorosescrapbookkits.typepad.com/
I participated as one of the designers for yesterday's Sunday Night Layouts (SNL) at By Design Scrapbook Boutique. Here's my layout. I wanted to make the layout as bright and fun as that beautiful summer day was. The green, blue and orange combination helped to achieve that objective.

So much fun; that's all I can say. Yesterday, while I was in Michael's, with a coupon of course, I saw this paper mache book. I thought about the Lumiere paints, distressing inks, distressed Stickles and Tattered Angels glimmer mist I had at home, and the crackle paint I could purchase at By Design Scrapbook Boutique and WALLAHHHHH, here's what I came up with. I'm going to store paraphenalia and extra pictures from our vacation inside the book.

This is my son's last year in middle school and I'm sure the last year that he'll let me make stuff to put on his school locker. I'm going to take advantage of it too. He's playing football again this year, #37, so I cut this football and will be adding magnet strips to the back of it, to hang on his locker door. I cut the football from the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge, layered it then covered it with Mod Podge to perserve it. He was actually pretty excited when he saw it; I was excited that he was excited. I told you, I'm going to take advantage of this year.

Sometimes, I can't get enough of certain patterned papers; such was the case with the papers below. I had a few cards to make last week, for different ocassions. I used the papers on the first card and thought, "hmmm, I really like this paper"; so as you can see, I used it each time.
TFSB.
