After a long scrapping drought, I am back in action and I really enjoyed it to sit down and fiddle with scrapping goodies again!
With a dead underperforming thyroid and hormones out of whack it has been a battle to keep my boat afloat over the past few months. But there is light at the end of the tunnel and although my memory is still often out of action I just hope that people will forgive me if they have to jolt my memory on occasion.
When I started with my layout for our class on Saturday I haven’t decided what pictures I wanted to use yet, but as the layout came together I remembered these pictures and they were perfect! It was early morning in the mountains and with everybody else still asleep, I slipped out quietly and sat down at the water’s edge. As I enjoyed the view of the impossibly green summer mountains I experienced the most serene and peaceful feeling. It was as if the water ran right through me, taking with it all the stresses and worries that is so part of being human. I didn’t realise that Frans had woken up in the meantime and was photographing me through our bedroom window.
I made envelopes with fragile photographic dry mounting tissue that I bought from a dealer in second hand goods some time ago. I used black ink to stamp onto the envelopes for added texture and filled them with music paper tags and tags made from Tim Holtz’ Kraft resist paper.
Back flourishes and cards from red lead paperworks add to the theme.
Come feel your soul blossom en let yourself fly on Saturday!
