thankful.

I LOVE this month's Scrapbook Circle kit titled This Life.  I had the most fun with the vellum, I have to confess when I first used vellum I didn't really like it--it was VERY expensive and not to exciting...fast forward about 15 years and I LOVE it! ;)

I tried an experiment...I painted with Gesso on the background paper to show some dimension.  After this dried I adhered it (under where I knew it would be covered with pattern paper)..the look is just what I hoped it would be.  After I adhered it I wanted to see what it looked like when I sewed on it and distressed it a bit.  Yep, this layout was pretty much a "let's try this and see what happens!" kinda layout....Hope you let yourself do that every once in a while...I think sometimes we just take ourselves to seriously and forget to enjoy the process!
Thanks SO much for the visit today!  Make your day WONDERFUL!
