Usually I sit and shuffle for hours, or leave it all set up on my desk and do other stuff and come back to it now and then.. but this one I just sat down, grabbed some photos, grabbed some scraps of paper that were on my desk and it all fell together. I love that! {happy dance!}I even hand drew and cut the tree and drew the "growing" lines on it (what are those things called?) The leaf stamp is from a retired Stampin Up set called Paint Prints, I always thought I'd use the flowers from the set but I never have and I have used the leaf and the block stamp in the set heaps! Loving that Maya Road Owl stamp too :) I know the papers on this page are way old (I have had them for at least 4 years!) but they suited the colours of the photo really well and I like the way it turned out! And now they are no longer clogging up my scraps stash so woop-ee!! I even had that red outer frame piece already cut sitting on my desk from another project that I never started- how amazing that it fit so well with this page! Can you tell I'm a bit pleased with myself? {chuckling} Cos I finished a page and Dr Phil hasn't even started yet!
So, I'm sorry if if was your Mojo, but please can I keep it for a little longer? I'm really enjoying it!

Wow, I thought the tree was a die-cut! How awesome are you! First I was gonna say "growing lines" are called branches, lol, but then I realised you're talking about something different. Maybe you mean woodgrain?
I am super impressed with how quickly you did this layout! I love the red frame around the outside. It totally MAKES the whole layout.
Right now I'm trying to make a card for mum (can't you tell? that's why I'm on the computer, lol) and I'm having a mental blank, so maybe you borrowed my mojo. As long as you return it for tomorrow when I have a parcel arriving (hopefully) I'll be happy. Then you can have it back on thursday/friday when I'm at work. :)
Thanks for liking the LO! Lol. I'm impressed you thought the tree was a die cut, thats cool! I drew it on white paper first and so I kept that as a stencil if ever I want to do another tree. Maybe I can put it vertical next time and have it as a standing tree rather than a branch! Cool!! The ideas are flowing... :)
How bout I just give u a little bit of your mojo back.. cos I've got a parcel arriving this week too!
Hey, i thought you'd cut the tree out of woodgrain paper!! I LOVE the layout! It's fantastic :-) Beautiful earthy colours to suit the photo... and i like the subjects! Hee hee!! Love the owl too. Cant believe you did it so super-fast! Thats awesome. Can i steal that mojo from you?
What is MOJO sounds like its something I NEED, I just love checking out your blog and Yvette's such fun and so inspiring, I wish I was getting a parcel this week but I did pick up some scrapbooking stuff today in Target - that will have to do.
Love you all keep on keeping me amused. Auntie Julie
