Parade

No, no. No parades recently. Not that I recall... A layout of Nikolas riding his bike in the local neighborhood parade 3 July 4's ago! I used the Paper Secrets sketch challenge as the inspiration for the layout. A very loose interpretation of the sketch at that. That's the beauty of sketches, isn't it? You can pick and choose what you want to use and what doesn't work for the layout.

Do you remember a recent post where I spoke of those awesome Jenni Bowlin journal tags? Well, here you go. Yet another! I'm telling you, there are really diverse in their uses! I took a strip of the BINGO numbers and ran it through the Big Shot to make the pleated circle. Looks cool! I'm a fan, anyway!

I used the banner across the right hand side of the page as the sketch had, only I used a different shape and size. Again from a BINGO item (also of Jenni's), I punched out the letters which are pop dotted upon the banner. Tie some twine bows and voila! Festive!

The right hand side of the page needed some balance with all the goodies situated on the left so I embossed the Coredinations (aptly) with a July 4th embossing folder from Tim Holtz. No more LSS therefore no more big machine so a rolling pin had to suffice. Works in a pinch!

LOL! Now that I'm looking at it, there's a lot of Jenni Bowlin Studio's product on there! Love it!

Speaking of holiday's, have you begun any planning yet? The kids have decided what they want to be for Halloween. I need to order costumes. No plans for Thanksgiving or Christmas just yet. There will be no family around this year, just us. It will be quiet. The calm before the storm; I'm going to Paris to visit my sister!! Can't wait!
