Farm Chicks

Happy March!  Over at "Picture This" we have a new fun challenge!  A mood board! 

To celebrate this time of nature waking up to life, we have for you a fun "Spotty mood board". You can use the colour palette, the spots or the general impression of the board to inspire you to create - please, make sure that in your post you tell us which element(s) exactly inspired your project.

I created a layout using two photos from me and my sister, Lianne's childhood.  Every summer our family would go to Pennsylvania to visit our Great-Grandma and our Aunt Pauline.  They lived on a farm where there was a cow, a lot of land and deer .  Great-Grandma  cooked and kept the house warm with  a coal burning stove. Every day she went down with her bucket to the basement, to gather some coal for the day.  We would have fresh corn on the cob every day, so  the whole house would smell like corn all the time!  Another memory I have of her is, every night she would light a Hurricane oil lamp that she would burn all night long.  I also remember  they had an outhouse and even though they put in a bathroom in the house, Great-Grandma and Aunt Pauline preferred to go outdoors.  They both lived very long and healthy lives.  Great memories.

I hope I have inspired you to create a memory of your own using our fun Spotty Mood Board!

Poetry Is In The Air

February Blog Hop

Thank you for joining our February …It’s in the Air Blog Hop. We are so excited to celebrate the Month of February in the scrapbooking world with you, while letting you get to know our DT members a little better. The blog hop will give you a peek at their style and techniques. If you have started from the beginning I hope that you enjoyed Emma's challenge!  If you are just joining the hop here, you should go back to the beginning at "Picture This", (after you have checked out my challenge for the hop), so you do not miss anything.
Now I would like to introduce myself: 
Hi, my name is Lisa and I am one of the DT member's of "Picture This Challenges".
My theme is "Poetry is in the Air"
February being the month of love I would like you to create a layout inspired by the Valentine's Day poem:
"The rose is red, The violet's blue, The honey's sweet, and so are you!
Thou Art my Love, and I am Thine. I drew Thee to my Valentine:
The lot was cast and then I drew, And Fortune said, "It should be You."

Here is what I created: A layout using an old fashion Certificate of Marriage that I placed my Mother and Father's Wedding photos on from 1950. First I stamped the background of the red paper with the Wedding Vows. Then, I layered with lace, different red and rose paper. And lastly I included many embellishments, like angels, flowers, and pearls. Since the poem was very passionate I tried to make my layout as romanic as possible.

Lots of Layering

"The Rose is Red"

I hope I have inspired you to now start having fun creating with whatever moved you from the poem!

Example: The colors, the flowers and/or the poetry in the poem.

I am so looking forward to seeing your creations!
