Thanks to the layout I just finished for the Pencil Lines sketch this week, I now have this song stuck in my head. The last theme before fall and Thanksgiving at the boys preschool was the farm, and this is one of the songs they sung.  

 

 

 Materials: 

PP: Basic Grey

Stickers: October Afternoon, American Crafts

Paper Thread: Karen Foster

Buttons: Crate Paper

Mini Staples: Tim Holtz

pen: Staedtler triplus fineliner

I wonder how many days this one will be with me before my brain switches to the Sleeping Bunnies? ( don't say I didn't warn you that this was catchy!)

Just Like Grandad

Around this time 3 years ago, my Father-in-law passed away from cancer. A few weeks earlier, he had used his last bit of strength to fly from Chicago to Montreal to meet his second grandson for the first and last time. I wasn't conscious of the coincidence of timing when I printed this photo tonight to do a page, but I'm happy I finally documented this little anecdote, and am missing him even more now.

 

The design is based on a sketch by Anna Bjorklund for the Pencil lines blog.

I used two gorgeous sheets of paper from Studio Calico, and a tonne of stamps from Hero Arts, Tattered Angels, Prima Marketing, MME, and Memory Essentials. Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Staz On, Ranger Distress Crackle Paint, Adirondack Paint Dabber, Goosebumps Texture Spray. Copic Marker, Copic Multiliner, Omer De Serres Washi tape, Webster's Pages letter stickers and Basic Grey letter stickers.
