Three Things

First off, my shot for Sweet Shot Tuesday (and P52). It’s the same shot I used for Team-up Thursday, but it was my favorite of the week.

I also like this one, taken the same evening.

Second, a layout I completed for Shimelle’s 4X6 class on 2Peas, that I also posted on the Scrap-Mart blog. I usually wait until they’ve posted there before I post here.

I followed the sketch pretty closely and used a lot more product than I usually do on this layout. I made the pocket from two of the dies in the Spellbinder’s Creative Book dies. I used a new Quickutz die for make the rose from Vintage Cream felt that I sprayed with a Perfect Pearls mist. I cut “Cures” from the Calendar cartridge with my Slice, and used embellishments from October Afternoon, Jillibean, Pink Paislee, and a Scrapbook Circle kit. I’m hoping to get the next sketch completed in the next day or two.

And finally, an update on my One Little Word: FINISH. Here’s the February page in the tag book.

And the record page:

I’m very pleased with this month’s progress. I finished two big projects (Sarah’s Birthday album which I never listed on this record page, and Matt’s Rossie Album–which I’ll post soon.) I finished all the lessons for Kim Klassens’ Essentials Photoshop class where I finally grasped the concept of layer masks. I’ve been quite successful in using them as well. I’m taking a Silhouette 101 class at My Creative Classroom which has been terrific, and I’m current on all the lessons there. I read one book from my 2010 list and finished our Book Group book as well. Now I’m into Cleopatra:  A Life, which is the Book Group pick for March. I fill out a project card for almost everything I make, and there were 27 of them in the February envelope.
