I hope you enjoyed your visit to Rockwood Mansion over the last few weeks.  I wonder what will be next up - Mt. Cuba perhaps or the Nemours Mansion or possibly Winterthur.  So much to share of my summer learning about Delaware.  Thanks for stopping by.

LIFE IS SO SWEET!

I have two more cards for you today!  The first is another sweet honey month card with Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin for the challenge at Kraftie Krea8tions and is child focused for Shopping Our Stash (the stash are all the papers were scraps and I have had the ribbons forever), using sketch PPA173 from Pals Paper Arts, and ribbons and bows for Whoopsi Daisy.

HAPPY NATIONAL HONEY MONTH

September is National Honey Month.  I created a layout of Thomas' first day of High School using hexagons as honey combs as his school mascot is the yellow jacket.  I used a Crafters Workshop Template with Dry Dex Spackling which I colored with Stickels and Liquid Pearls.  I did this for the Colorful Creations Say It With Words challenge - use the name of your school and I used a September Page Maps sketch from Scrapbook.com.

For the Kraftie Krea8tions challenge I created some cards using Winnie the Pooh and his love of honey.  

For the first one I used sketch #277 from Sketch Saturday, and the color orange for Kaboodle Doodles  challenge #190, and inspired by the book Pooh's Five Little Honey Pots for Challenge #226 at The C.R.A.F.T. Challenge Blog.

A BIT MORE OF ROCKWOOD

I never did get to any creating last night.  I had an excrutiating toothache and ended up going to bed.  Here are two more layouts from Rockwood that I created this evening.  

The first uses sketch #1 from Scrapbook.com September Monthly Sketch Challenge which I rotated 1/4 turn clockwise.

Here is my Layout:

my next layout uses sketch # 20 from 2 Broke Girls.

and my Layout:

Tomorrow I am getting my first iron infusion which I hope will give me a bit more energy.  So now it's off to bed for me!  Sweet dreams everyone!

For this layout I was also inspired by Colorful Creations Favorite Things challenge which was to use a new supply that I have been hanging onto but have not yet used.  I chose to try out Gelatos and used a Crafters Workshop template that I had not yet used.  Wow were they fun!  I am going to be using them again really soon!

Hope that you have enjoyed these pages - there should be more to follow later today...and if I get to the photo shop there may be more of the wedding present!  Thanks for stopping by!  Comments always appreciated!
