Well, until spring is really here, how about a nice, warm layout? Ok, here you go:
It might be a little grey out today (sorry the photo is a little grey, too) -- but these photos were from a beautifully warm day, and a delightful little restaurant in Detroit called Le Petit Zinc. I was there with friends from work -- last summer, the three of us went on several outings geared toward being tourists right at home -- this little lunch followed a shopping trip to the nearby John K. King (huge-a-mungous) used bookstore. What a lovely day. If you're local or planning a visit, be sure to hit both!
I used my Counterfeit Kit to make this layout -- mostly from the main kit, and a few goodies from the add-ons. How about a detail shot or two? If you insist:
I misted my bg paper a bit with some reddish and yellowish colors before building my page on top. I just love these Sassafras alphas -- perfect font, excellent value, and every color/pattern is just yummy.
I took a little extra time concocting this cluster -- there are die-cut, real, and chipboard buttons (and none are threaded -- my patience only goes so far sometimes!), punched and fussy-cut bits, label stickers and even a bit of bling. I can't say I thought too hard about the assembly, though -- I find if I just start sticking, it all turns out fine in the end, but if I over-think every move, well...it just looks over-thought!
Well, I hope this brings a little sunshine to your first day of spring. Have a lovely day!

mission accomplished! That cluster of goodness was made to look effortless. :)
What a great idea - tourists at home. I should definately try that.
p.s. charity bout went well, but the track was super slippery (in a school gym) and 80% of reg size. Have you already started your NSO training? were you a skater before?
