I can't take credit for the design. It was an October Afternoon project class from Scrapfest. I'm quite proud of myself for finishing it because, quite frankly, alot of the times my half-finished projects from Scrapfest get put in a box after the event, and I never quite get around to them again. Aargh. It's embarassing. Anyhoo, this time I did, and here are a couple of closeups...
I love, love, loved playing with the OA Sprinklers (the light-colored splats in the background)! They are so different from other spray inks/mists I've tried. They are opaque - like paint! Very retro, very cool!
I did change a few things - added some paper tape, extra embellies & changed up the photo sizes; but basically I stuck straight to the project design they gave us. I love how it came out. Now I am all keyed up to start scrapbooking again!
Speaking of scrapbook supplies, have you seen that Sassafras Lass is having a huge box sale? It's their final one, since they are no longer going to be manufacturing products (soooo sad). Click here to check it out.
One more fabulous thing I wanted to let you know about - it's a fabulous and FREE online art journal workshop! The super-talented Tracie Hanson is generously offering it up on her blog, and it's a good one! Perfect for beginners and advanced art journalers alike. Check it out here.
Thanks for visiting and I will see you again soon!

LOL, Michelle!!! you and me both! I set a goal to do 10 LOs three weeks ago...total layouts so far = 3 (I at least chose the pixs for the rest, heh!)
I love this, all the clean details, the way you used the manilla tags for the anchors for the big banner, and of course, the SPLATTERS!!! I gotta go check out those Sprinklers! (you should get credit for your plug!!!)
HOORAY for scrapbooking!! This is soooo cool. The way you did your banner is so fun and colorful, love the tags with it. The splatters are always a great touch to the background. Good for you scrapping again and wanting to do more.
I'm actually starting a new scrapbook class next week which will help me get motivated to scrap again.
I forgot to add thanks for this link, will go check it out. Will be joining you in Julie's new 30 day art journal class too. So much going on this month.

Wow!!! Look who's scrapping! How cute did that turn out???? Guess I need to dig out mine and finish it off too...next crop!

What a fun layout! And thanks for the link to the free workshop. I can't wait to watch it all and give the Doodlicious journal a try!
Yay, you're scrapbooking again, that turned out so cute ... perhaps a nice companion to the Odds and Ends class LO.
