Great Travels

Hello,

Today was a "day reserved for me" to get totally annoyed with electronics!  If I didn't love my laptop, mouse and printer so much they would have been thrown out the door!!  One problem at a time would be nice.... but they all decided to go on the blink on the same day!  Grrrr!

After getting totally frustrated I unplugged and turned off everything... and as hard as it was for me to do... I walked away from it for awhile.

It worked!  I turned everything back on and "It's a Miracle!"  Everything settled down, including me!

Now if I could just "speed up" my laptop, I'd be golden!

Today's layout was submitted at Let's Get Sketchy for their January Week 4 Challenge.  

Here's the sketch:

This is what I created:

 

This is Linda and I on our way to climb Katahdin.  A very long hike/climb... around 12 hours... but the view at the top is absolutely gorgeous!  All you see is beauty everywhere... absolutely amazing.

Supplies used:

Paper: K&Co., Colorbok

Distressing

Twine

Tag

Die Cuts

Butterflies cut from pp

EK Success Border Punch

Color Mists: Wilton

Perfect Pearls Mists

Staples

 

The three strips were distressed and misted.  Twine was knotted around two of the strips and the middle strip has a thin piece of paper folded for a trim.

 

The butterflies were cut from cardstock paper that I found in my stash.  I folded the wings and adhered them to the page only in the centers.

The tag has a grouping of leaves and a large compass which was distressed and misted.  A tree cardstock die cut was distressed a bit and the tips slightly turned up.  Leaves were added around the compass.

 

 Twine was wrapped in a circle and stapled at the top of the tag.

 

The border punched edges were distressed and misted.  The title was cut from pp.  And you can see a little of the misting.

 

Here's the right side of my page, giving you a glimpse of the dimension.

 

Here's a better look at the left side of my page... and the Pearl misting.

Hope you had a better day than me!

Happy crafting!
