And here we are - the last tenth of 2012. How did that happen?
With everything going on lately, I was a little afraid that I wouldn't have time to sit down and give this month's set (My Life by Ali Edwards) the attention that it deserves - but I found some time last evening to just sit and stamp and push paper around. And it was good.
It helps that I had this layout idea in my head for a couple months already - it was just a matter of bringing the idea from my head to the table, and adding in a few stamps here and there.
I have to say that it came out just like I envisioned. That doesn't always happen.
Most of the papers I used were from a 6 x 6 pad (my secret addiction) Sunny Side by Pebbles. I love the bright and cheery that they add. I was in the mood for a little bright and cheery.
That was an awesome day in May. Love when they open the hydrants.
And I love blog hop days. If you have a few moments, be sureto bop through the rest of the blogs in today's hop:
Joscelyne Cutchens <----- our guest for December

PRIZE!
We will give away a $25 give certificate to Technique Tuesday.com to one lucky blog hop commenter. The winner will be announced December 13th on the Technique Tuesday blog. You can't win if you don't comment.
Happy Monday
be good
This is a really cool layout! Love how it turned out!
