SYAO

Still in over at SYAO . We have been completing challenges for over a year! This week's challenge

Here is my layout

February Creative Dare

February's Creative Dare is to make a life list or bucket list and use it in a piece of art. I chose to work in my art journal book and in fact chose a page which had words on it that were included in my list. I outlined those and then also added more of my own. Grabbed some different colors and stamps!

Canvas

I have been fighting this canvas for weeks. I did the background then saw Christy T. mask off a background and cover it with white. Then I thought it was too plain. So I made chipboard flowers and sun. Added modeling pasted stems, doodling, rubons, etc...... So now I am not sure if I like it or not. Sure wish I had someone to help me in person with these!! Seriously doubting my artistic attempts......

Winter Walks

My husband, the dog and I are pretty good about getting out for a walk/hike on the weekends, even if the weather is not the best. This weekend temps were around 20 , yet we were out both days!

CSI

So I went a little crazy with this week's CSI. I am pretty sure this is not what they were thinking........

And here is my layout......................

Ok - This is way out of the box and probably not what you were thinking with escape and travel. But... let me explain. I won this new paper from Pepples Inc and immediately thought of Halloween 1991. My son was in his superhero phase and I made him a costume out of a sweatsuit. He wore it until it was ragged. For the next several years I made Batman, Ninja Turtles, etc. I think all little boys escape into this world of Superheros. I think I have all the colors. I have felt for my fabric, clouds and vellum. My journaling is under vellum and contains the word escape. I LOVE Pagedrafts sketches! Thanks for a great challenge.

I posted a layout over at this week's CSI and it was chosen as a Most Wanted!!!

""Each week, five layouts that caught our eye will be chosen to feature as our "Most Wanted." With so many amazing layouts in the gallery, it was incredibly hard to narrow the "lineup" down to five, but here they are, in no particular order.""

How cool!!!!

Today

Today is the day! I cannot stop it from coming. There is no way to prevent it or go around it. I can't avoid it any longer.

Today I am si......., Today I am si...........

Today I am 59 + 1......................

Just call me a senior, an old fogey, over the hill.

How did this happen?? I don't feel this old.

My husband and kids threw a party for me Saturday night

They built a cupcake stand!

A house full!

The party committee

They all even sang to me!

Nighttime sledding!

It was a wonderful celebration. The best part - a few people told me I did not look this old!
