Good Times

For some reason, I hadn't visited Color Me Scrappy in a while.  Glad I went to check it out today, the colors for this challenge were great, and just what I needed after doing a dark, brownish layout for a previous challenge.  Nice and bright.  You're book marked now!

I, of course, had the perfect paper pad.  This one was an "expecting baby" theme from Paper Studios, that I had used to make a onesie banner for my cousin's baby shower and would work perfect for this challenge.  The twist was to use wood.  I am IN LOVE with all of the wood chips thing going on these days.  No, seriously, I can't get enough of them.  Look at these of the 50 U.S. states... I mean, awesome.  Yes, I had to google some of them, especially some of those tiny northeastern states.



The "Good Times" wood call-out shape I think is from Studio Calico as well or maybe Maya Road - anyway, love it whichever made it.  For more wood, I used little wooden frames directly on the photo and accented with a little flower and pearl.

My journaling had issues this time.  First the gel pen stopped working in the middle of the second line, then I made an typo towards the middle and had to scratch over... well - that is what makes it homemade right?

These pics are from the trip my sister, my son and I took to San Francisco.  Good times, good times.
