2020 has been interesting for most of us. I don't have a single person in my inner (or outer) circle that has been rehashing this past year with words and phrases like:
"Just like clockwork..."
"According to plan..."
"Exactly where I thought I'd be in 2020 when I did my 5 year plan in 2015..."
"Best year ever..."
That being said, we've made it! We're here at the end of the year, the holidays are upon us, and we have much to look forward to.
This is a LO I did earlier this year (and didn't get around to posting it...probably because I was too busy working). I think I finished this LO somewhere in the July/August timeframe. I used the March 2020 Scrapbook Kit (and probably pieces from the Cards, Tags, and More and/or Mixed Media Kit from the same month) from Tres Jolie.
We took this picture in a time where social distancing wasn't a "thing" yet, when you could still hug people who weren't in your immediate family, and when dropping in to visit friends in their home was a cool thing to do. Luckily we've been able to responsibly visit with these friends over the past year, but not as much as we'd like to. We took this picture after delivering some yummy liquor to them from their favorite liquor store (that is about 7 states away). Since we were out of town and passing by their favorite place, we picked them up a little Christmas (2019) Cheer!
Here is the LO:
I used a Heidi Swapp stamp set from my stash to stamp (among other things) this phrase that says "My Loves". I have a great circle of friends and these two are certainly some of the top notch folks I'm honored to have in my life! Truly great people whom I truly love! 💕💕💕
Here's a close up of my stamp set with a view of my messy workspace in the background.
Below you can see a close up of some flower clusters and elements that I used on this LO. Green is one of my favorite colors (and coincidentally golden yellow is also) so I had a great time layering all the great shades of green and golden yellow while working on this project. I also incorporated some peach-y colored flowers (I might mention that the aforementioned favorite liquor store is in Georgia, so I thought peach colored was appropriate!)
Finally a few more flowers and some of the green accents on the paper as well as some accents that I added with paint. I also used one of the small glass balls (included somewhere in the kit or in another kit) and filled it full of glitter...a ticking glitter bomb, if you will. The glitter hasn't escaped yet, but I feel certain that it's always a possibility! 😂😂
So there you have it! Once again life got a bit in the way and I got a little sidetracked away from posting to my blog. But I'm quite certain that in a little over a week I'll make another resolution to do better. I did much better at posting my projects this year, and in a year where progress was sometimes hard to come by, I'll take it!
Wherever you are, stay safe and stay strong!
Thanks for looking!
xoxo,
Melody
