Play Hard (Getting things together)

So, it's been a while. Ok, that's enough Staind quoting. I've been recovering from bronchitis over the past month. A friggin' month. That's just what I get for ignoring a cold and my lungs being tight for how long before? You can see how many times I've mentioned not feeling well. But, did see doc earlier and she got me antibiotics and a new inhaler. I'm slowly getting back to normal. The girls have been here 24/7 since the start of March. They are not impressed. School has been an issue still for one because of her anxiety. Yes, they have been doing school online the past two weeks. The youngest has had 4-H meetings over Zoom in the evenings. State contest for Band was cancelled. I'm still working. This month I got another (not) Just for Boys kit. It's fun to get these and play with them.

 So, this came mostly out of stuff from the March kit I received. Yes, this layout is from the end of March. Reread above with bronchitis to explain why it took me so long to get this done. But this is from when the girls went with their high school band to BW the week before large group contest. The older is a percussionist while the youngest is a flutist. I chose the two papers for the college colors. I also added scraps using paper from Michael's along the bottom of the brown. The cutout came from the kit (I'd ordered a second cutout for future use because I knew I wanted this specifically for this story) and the papers that were used to fill it in came from a 6x6 Echo Park pad I got from the kit in February. The fabric chipboard BW and period came from one of the kits, along with the green and gold splatters, foil frame, and doily framing the picture of both girls. The music notes and treble clef came from a Walmart sticker set. The phrase under the play hard was the bottom portion of a tag from the April kit.

Stick It Down

First, I'm submitting this to Stick It Down for the single page layout. Yes, I flipped it upside down. I didn't like how the title looked when it was on top. It drew away from the pictures, which are the highlight. But, it still is a cool title. I also planned on putting the paper on the top to make the other ripple look, but I lost the scissors. Hey, the girls are here 24/7 now. It's mayhem with two teens and a college student. And I had fun using my new splattery mists for this. I did both spray them and tap after taking out the nozzle. I missed doing these.

#FF0056

I'm also submitting this to Festive Friday. This is another I've missed doing. They add a fun challenge to any of the sketches that I'm inspired by. I was so sure I was going to do one set, but ended up doing this result instead. I have the book with the one for the books phrase on the title. There is the foil frame around my one girl. The fabric is the BW letters and the period. Of course, the yellow is in the papers and some of the mysic notes. One of BW's colors is yellow.

I have so many pages to get together still. The issue is if I will run out of tape/glue/scissors. Or will the rest of the pictures be able to be printed since this last batch had to be done through CVS because the oldest moved the printer and now it can't be used! Mind you, the girls are using the computers usually so getting them ready to be printed is an issue too. Wait for that layout. I'll explain the dramas then. But, hope everyone enjoys this. Comments are welcome.
