Cherish the Moment

Happy Veteran's Day!

I've never been in the military, but I want to say "THANK YOU" to all the brave men and women who have helped ensure and protect our freedom.  I appreciate ALL you are doing and have done in serving this country.

And speaking of gratitude, I am sharing a "grateful" layout today.  I have taken 2 challenges and combined them on a layout. Here are the challenges:

1. I used the colors from the photo inspiration challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog

 
I just love this color palette.

2. The layout sketch from Sketch N Scrap blog

Layout Sketches due November 30th



And here is my layout:


And some detail pictures:



I used modeling paste for the first time.  I was apprehensive at first and didn't want to ruin the layout.  But I think I'm a new fan of it, even though the results were less than stellar for my first try. 



(Supplies: cardstock, pattern paper- Creative Imaginations, sequins, modeling paste, stencil- Prima, photo corners, rub-on words- Deja Views, typewriter, stitching)

I am truly grateful for the family God has given me.  I think I am going to continue documenting my gratitude for the rest of November.  How about you?  What are you grateful for?
One more thing I am grateful for is when you take the time to visit my little blog world.  :)  I appreciate you!

Happy Crafting,
Angie

P.S.  I have deleted the section regarding My Mind's Eye.  I will not be entering that challenge, but for some reason the updates aren't being saved.  Therefore, I'm only entering 2 challenges.  I apologize for the confusion.

  3. Great take on the sketch and your page looks lovely teamed up with the colour palette. Always a bit scary putting permanent techniques on your page isn't it, I am always worried about stamping straight to the page!
