Well, good morning! Long time no see! We made it back Monday night from our trip to visit my husband's family and my daughter and I returned with a case of strep throat, so I'm feeling quite miserable- thankfully she got on antibiotics on Sunday and seems to be improving. I, however, just got on some antibiotics yesterday (stupid me thought I could beat it without them!) and, 24 hours later, feel no better. So hoping that changes.
It was quite a feat for me to actually get a scrappy page done- I always stand when I scrap, but as sick as I am, I can't stand for very long. So I actually completed this page pretty quickly and honestly, I don't know how I feel about it. I really had something better in mind...but with as foggy a mind as I have right now, that picture just wasn't real clear to me anymore...
But alas, here we are. I based my layout on the April 15th sketch over at Stuck?! Sketches, and I'm so glad I was able to play along there this month. Being so busy with other things, I really have to pick and choose which challenges I want to do as my design team commitments take up the majority of my scrap time.
So here you have it:
Based on this great sketch:
Some closies (yep, I know it's not a word but I'm so sick of using the word "close-ups", lol...):
I used the beautiful Prima "Almanac" line for this one, which I actually won in a RAK from Maiko, during the Once Upon A...Sketch blog hop! Thanks Maiko!!
I wrote my hidden journaling on this tag behind my photo:
My journaling reads:
"Yep, for now this is how we bathe the kids- in our shallow kitchen sink. In the summer we don't even have to heat the water because it's so hot out that the kids don't mind a luke-warm bath. And they really do love bath time- they grab some toys and get right in! - You can definitely tell we don't have running water by how excited they get! But before long, Wyatt won't be able to fit anymore :(- so we'll have to upgrade to a tub suppose- and maybe even get ourselves some running water! Wyatt, age 3 1/2, Summer 2011"
I'd better get going. It's about lunch time and the younger two will be waking up soon from their naps- time to put on the Mac & Cheese!! :)
See you soon,
xErin

You put this together quickly?! And while you were sick? Wow girl, I need to learn a trick or two from you! This page is nothing short of fabulous so don't cut yourself short! Gorgeous work!
Erin, you would never know you weren't feeling well when you did this page, because it looks totally awesome!! I love the whole vintage look you created, especially by changing your photo to the Sepia color. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this one!! I hope you are feeling better soon...it's no fun when mom is sick!
Poor you - strep throat is ghastly Feel better soon hon! As for your page - It is stunning! Can't believe you made this feeling so ill. You are amazing!
oh my goodness, that photo is just priceless!! and your page is gorgeous, how you did that being sick with strep I don't know, I've had that and it's horrid! I hope the meds kick in soon and you can feel better, love the flowers and details, this is a great page and great sketch :) hugs...
Loving that picture!!! Gorgeous layout! Love the papers and flowers! Hope you and Aspen get to feeling better soon.
Great photo, it really goes well with the rustic colours of the LO. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well.
This is great, not only is the pic funny but the LO is beautiful!
Erin I love your layering and the fussy cutting. Amazing page for someone who's so sick. You and your sister really amaze me and also make me feel quite lazy at times. Great work.
Soooooooooo beautiful and a gorgeous take on the sketch. Love it.
And finally, someone else that likes to stand when they scrap. I thought I was just weird but I find I see it better looking down on it.
Normally stand myself when I scrapbook ... it's just the right thing to do - honest!
Don't be so hard on yourself, your layout is absolutely gorgeous and I'm thinking wow, you put that together when you were sick ... it's stunning!
I think standing when scrapping gives the best view of the place we put the elements on the page. I have come to realise that my best layouts were made when I was standing. I love your page, it's so rich and harmonious... :)
Wow! This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
