MY LAST OF NSD!

Today I am sharing the last layout I got to do in celebration of National Scrapbooking Day.  I created it for The Cherry on Top's Deanna's NSD 2015 Monochromatic/Ombre challenge as well as the May 1st Challenge at Picture This! calling for 2 Photos + Black and White + Doily + Yellow.

I'm using a few more of my favorite butterfly photos 

from Lum's Pond August 2013.

And a few close ups of the accents...

I just remembered that there was a layout I did for the ABC challenge over at Soul Scrappers. This month's letter is "E" and the chosen embellishment is Enamel Dots.  You also had to use a word that starts with the letter "E".  

Here's my layout-

and now for a few close-ups-

this was a really great concert! It was so much fun to share the music of 'my era' with my sons.

check out these enamel dots! - I made them out of pony beads cooked in the oven.  Boy did they make some really smelly smoke!

now how's that for an "E" word? 

Ethnomusicology 

Do you know what it means?  As I didn't I'm going to assume you may not either...so I will tell you.

Ethnomusicology is the study of the music of different cultures.  I figured good 'ol southern rock was a great culture to start with!

And now it's back to cooking, laundry, and the other dreary details of my day today. I am planning on more creating tonite!
