operation 38: FALL

two paper adventure pages in ONE WEEK?!?!!!!?

uh huh.
(i'm onna roll!)

the prompt for this one was "FALL". i had some very sensible & lovely foliage pics from when we were up in the adirondacks recently, and i intended to use one of those. but then i happened upon this one, from our anniversary weekend at the shore, and it made me laugh as much as it did when we were actually there, and kidding about the fact that this year fall was going to be so mighty that even the PLASTIC PALM TREES would turn a lovely orange.

so i used it instead! :)

(patterned paper: scrapbook wizard; chipboard letters: heidi swapp; photopaper: kodak; dymo labeller; american crafts pens, colorbox inks)

once again i have used very few embellishments... (but i PROMISE they have not been stolen, miss kristie!) ...it's not that i didn't WANT to embellish...it's not that i didn't TRY to embellish...it's just that when your color scheme is neon orange & sky blue...and your size is 5x7"...there is really only so much YOU CAN DO!!! so i settled for outlining everything in sight! (& i quite like how it turned out!)

  3. I so want a plastic flamingo. Orange palm trees would be optional in my garden.

  5. LOL...so glad to hear that they haven't been nicked! I am just sitting here wondering at the mentality of a person who would even imagine an ORANGE palm tree, let alone execute the idea....you know sometimes I think Americans are just a bit odd.
    Lots of hugs from the girl who comes from the country where giant man-made pieces of fruit are major tourist attractions :)
