Under the Open Sky.....oh my

This week's song at Scrap It With a Song is Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat.  Such a fun song.  Remember you can take the song as a whole to let it inspire you or use a portion of the lyrics to inspire the title or journaling.  I used the lyrics, "under the open sky" to title a page about my kids flying a kite with my father.  As you'll notice this layout is missing one key element....PHOTOGRAPHS!!!  We had a tape mishap during the building of this layout that ruined the photos and with taking off this weekend for a road trip, I didn't get a chance to have a new set printed.  I have gone 10 years without having to reprint photos because I screwed them up and in the past month this is the FOURTH TIME....and I did the exact same thing each time!  Lesson learned??  I hope!  LOL. 

I used this sketch from our current DT member Liz as inspiration.  I replaced the third photo with extra jounaling, but otherwise it's pretty much an exact take on it.  I LOVE the banners, but have used them on so many layouts lately I tried to think of something else swoopy I could stick there and decided to stitch the tail of a kite.  LOVE IT! 

Our sponsor this week is our very own DT alumni, Angela!  Come along and play.......

  2. I think it is funny too that we both used Liz's sketch to make this weeks layout! Too funny since we had no idea! LOL.

    I'm so sorry you had problems with your pictures. :( This looks really nice though and will be great when you get your pictures back for it. You'll have to post the updated picture once you get them.

  8. This is a beautiful layout, Christina! :) (And that's even when not taking into consideration the awesome colors, which form one of my favorite color combos. *grin*)

    And if you're wondering why it took me so long to post...well, I almost never remember to check blogs these days. Only PostSecret, and even then that's not regular. :S
