Got more inspiration again this week. I found this gorgeous fun page on the www:
There are so many things I love about this page: the color scheme, all the scattered little elements, the overall composition, the pieces of cut papers. So I tried to incorporate these things somewhat on my own page, and here’s the result:

Guess what this is:
Yes, you’re right. It’s a tractor, on a field, during harvest. But you see, this is not just any tractor, and it’s also not just any field. It’s actually an onion harvesting tractor on an onion field. Note the “onion” here.
Now, I’m not one who dislikes onion per se. In fact, onions can be a very delicious addition when it comes to your cooking; and they can be most welcome in such cases. In this case, however, I wasn’t too happy about the onions and the field, and the tractor, and the fact that these onions grow in immediate proximity to our home. You see, all summer long there’s been that peculiar smell in the air. The smell of onions. But you can’t just take these onions and put them away in a closet; or throw them in the trash, or cover them up. No, these onions are, more than anything, in your nose, and that’s where they’ll stay until they’re gone. So, today, the big secret that has stirred in my mind this summer, has been lifted – the question of where those onions are that keep filling the air. They grow right here.
We’re moving along swiftly, so I’m sharing the next part of this freebie kit with you. Today, you’ll get the second part of the papers to play with.

September is showing itself from its nicest side, or should I say – it’s showing the sunny side up? Whichever way you say this, I couldn’t help myself … I had to get out and about, get that last bit of blue sky and sunshine that I may have in a while. (Not being pessimistic here, just really realistic in knowing that I’ll be heading out East again soon, where gray skies compete against gray skies everyday. So here I’m quite happy about the last days of summer!
I have a happy little card I’d like to share with you this week.
I cut two pieces of patterned paper, placed them on the card base and added a ribbon and the sentiment (which I’d printed and cut with my silhouette beforehand).
Detail:
When it cooled down not long ago, I thought summer had waved us its final good-bye – meaning it’s going to stay cool and get colder and colder as the year progresses.
What I didn’t expect was that summer would give us quite the comeback. And so, these days it’s been all glorious sunshine, blue skies, nice temperatures, just as perfectly summer as perfect can get, in terms of summer!
