Another New Layout.

Yesterday I took the time to make another layout.

I've been wanting to scrap these particular pictures for a REALLY long time! I am so, so happy with the way this turned out.

For some reason, the images look blurrier than normal when I posted them ... so please click on the image for a bigger, more clear view if you are interested! I'd love for you to see the detail!


There's a funny story behind these pictures. To get the idea, just look at the pictures and read the tagged captions from left to right as if you were reading a book. I was cooking one day and had chopped up some onions for the recipe. Griffin was "helping" me and thought the onions looked yummy and sweet. I kept telling him they were not sweet, they were hot. But the wonderful mommy that I am ... well, I let him decide for himself.

And a close-up of the right side of the layout ...


I wanted to incorporate something onion-y looking on the page ... so I made these onions with different sizes of circles and Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I love that ink! I use it on practically every page I make these days.


Another close up look ...


I decided to add the black/white gingham ribbon ... I don't know ... do you think it gives it a "kitchen-y" feel to the page? And here, you can see another close up of one of the onions I paper pieced.


And this is a close up of one of the tags. I decided to use my own handwriting (I think it's SO important to do this!). I think they kind of look like little menus. And the round thing at the top ... well, those are supposed to be mini onions.

I tell you ... I am having ALOT of fun scrapbooking. I forgot how much fun and relaxing it is! Now ... I just have to find the time to do some more personal scrapbooking for "me" ... and get back to work making things for my online store Missy Made It!
