A winner, an announcement and some Authentique LO's to share...

I owe you a winner for the Magpie Kit Club August Kit giveaway!!!!  The random # generator chose #3....which is JOANNEK!!!!   YAY JOANNE!!!!!!

And I am so excited to announce that I will be continuing on as a DT member at Sketchy Thursdays!!  I just can't get enough of the ST sketches....they are my most fav!!!  Go check out all the other wonderful designers, too!!

OK, and here are some pages that I just want to share, both using Authentique. 



This first I did based on a sketch by Kristin at Memorable Seasons.  I also combined it with a challege at Scrapdango to use hexagons, the color green, and woodgrain or florals on the page.


I create my background, I made a mask for misting using SCAL.  There are some basic shapes in SCAL, and I used the hexagon pattern and arranged them on the 12x12 mat like I wanted them.  I cut the shapes from a 12x12 piece of scrap cardstock and used it as a mask for my background.  The color didn't show up as dark as I wanted, so I went back over some of the areas with a light brown ink.



Have you ever read "A Sense of Wonder", by Rachel Carson???   Love that book....

This next page I created because I am making a kit to sell at my LSS using Authentique paper.  The two layouts shown here and THIS ONE will all be included in the kit.



At first this page felt a little simple to me, but then I popped up some of the diamond paper and added buttons, and I was really happy with it!


It is so strange how my perception of feeling of what "family" is has changed with each child that I have had.

OK, so that was just a quick share!  I am working on a lot of things to share over the next couple of weeks....

Great pages, as always. Love the popped up paper and buttons on the second page, and really love the wood grain paper with the deck pictures. Love it all!
