Why Am I Forever LATE????

Mmmm...probably because I am never really satisfied with my own creations - so I tend to do them over and over. Which is exactly why it is July 22 and I am STILL working on this latest project. I snagged the color scheme from the good people at Digiscrap Addicts. Their newsletter - The Enabler - provides a color scheme every month and designers are encouraged to submit entries based on it. Of course the deadline was July 1st...and it is obviously WAY past that. Hehehe. However, I was having so much fun coming up with something that I decided to finish it anyway and just post it here.

So - the color scheme given was this:






I have two boys, ages 7 and 14, and they both LOVE to be outdoors. Since I was laid off at the beginning of the summer (hours reduced from full time to 3 days a week) we have spent countless hours at the lake. Consequently, I have lots of shots of my boys fishing. So - voila' - that became my theme. I have the majority of it done, but there are still a couple tweaks to finish. Instead of posting a preview of the items, I lifted a layout from a gallery and made a page using my designs. (SO, SO Sorry for whoever's layout this is...I can't give you credit because I didn't write it down. It was originally from Vinnie Pearce's blog - the Lift This challenge - and I've noticed that the challenges have been removed so I wasn't able to go back and find it.

Anyway - here is the scrap page:



Maybe - just maybe - I will have it done by the end of the week. :o) Then it is on to next month's color scheme! Who knows....maybe I will get that one done on time.

And this is all mine except for the little word strips that spell "fishing" - those are the awesome Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals.

So....what ya think? Ready for the download? :o)
