LOAD Day2 - No Photo Challenge

No photos? What do you mean, no photos? This is a scrapbook challenge, right?

Sigh ... the things I do for Lain ...

I've also been (mostly) participating in Ella Publishing's Spring Training event and the challenge today was to do some misting with masks - hence the lattice patterns on my paper. The tags were part of a tag swap I did with some of my fellow ScrapHappy members. I came across them in my search for inspiration for a photo-less layout for LOAD. The rest of it came together really quickly after that.

 


That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by.

LOAD512

Well, I did it again.
I signed up for Lain Ehman's LayOut A Day Challenge ... LOAD for short. Last time (i.e. February) I didn't post each layout on my blog but this time, I think I'll try. We are going to Disneyland with the kids and their Grandparents on Saturday so LOADing will be a challenge ... but that is what digital scrapbooking is for and I'm going to try it out. Stampin' Up! sells a digital design software which I have purchased but had problems installing so never used. Now I will be forced to call Tech Support and get it dealt with once and for all.

But I digress ... DAY1 ... the prompt was to take a self portrait. Yuck! Lain also gave some additional ideas of how to interpret the prompt and one of them was to take a picture of a body part. Hmm .. I figured that was doable. I set up my trusty tripod (thanks Grandpa Day!) by my drafting table and ...


Journalling reads: "My hands ... I've always seen my Mum in my hands but looking at this picture I realize they are definitely all my own now. They create. They cook. They change diapers and put in pony tails. I think I love them!"

Some close ups for you.
