Favorite Three for May

My friend Honore’ of Morning Glory Studio challenged me to post more of the layouts and creative items I make. So we decided to post our Favorite layout, Daily Page, and one other creative item once a month on the last Wednesday (or so) of the month.

Favorite Photograph

Saint Paul was bursting with flowers, new leaves, and color on the first Saturday morning in May. I left the house around 7am and took pictures in my ‘hood and around my house to capture the glory. This is my favorite picture of the bunch. As I drove around the back nine of the Highland Golf Course, I spotted a bench under a small grove of trees. The color and lighting was so delightful, that I drove backwards for a block to get back to the location of the grove. Now you know why I went out at 7am — NO TRAFFIC.

Favorite Layout

I finally scrapped the photos from Ali Edwards’s 2020 Pieces of Me challenge. I chose a digital template from the Simple Scrapper layout library (a benefit of membership!) and made it my own.

Favorite Daily Page

I participate in the Daily Pages challenge at The Awesome Ladies Project. Daily Pages are a chance to get creative, experiment, and use up your stash on a small format page. I use either Field Notes or Scout Notes notebooks. This page is an experiment in using washi tape to frame an element or two, without getting anal about exact placement of the washi. I used some leftover ephemera from a Jen Hadfield collection.

Honore’ already has her Favorites page posted here: check out her work. Then post some of your favorites. If you read this and do post your favorites, drop a link to your page in the Comments section so I can see your work.
