Treasure Sunday: March 4th

Sunday means treasure hunting, and this week there were so many goodies again, just waiting to be picked up on the road. Let me take you to where I went …

So Cute by scrappyt
First stop, was this little cute page with the adorable photo, the fun splatter, the pretty color palette and little scattered pieces of elements.

Next, I had to pause when I stumbled upon this page. Krafty papers always make my heart sing, and this one has so many pretty things added to it that it has to stand out somehow! The photos are adorable, and then there are the pretty little clusters of elements she added to this page, that make it just worth looking at.

 

I Miss You by sue.falstaff
With this page, the clean simplicity was what caught my eye. The pretty brush work, combined with those white flowers scattered all over the place, and the little title just add the perfect finishing touches to this layout.

 

Dr Seuss Books by eryn
This page has such a fun artistic feel to it. I love all the doodled bits, and how she placed the journaling and other elements.

 

 

Good Stuff by parr1983
Another gem with two beautiful clusters, some pretty brush work, an all too adorable photo, and let’s not forget the blended photo. Pretty colors, too. Well worth, stopping for this one to pick it up!

 

Today by jenevang
You give me splatters and a bit messiness, and I’m in love with a page. On top of that, this one has such a playful approach with the little paper pieces scattered around and again, a cute photo.

 

Let Me Live by valeriapiemonte
And last but not least I have this spectacular page for you today. Hm, and where do I start the fingerpointing? Do I start with the awesome overall composition? Do I start with the great title work? Or should I mention the various clusters first? What about the little tacked on “my story” word pieces? Well, you see, I’m just in awe, and so I’ll let you decide what should be pointed out first on this page! In the meantime, I’ll add it to my collection of treasures already.

That’s it from my treasure box again. I’m glad to be able to share these with you, and even more glad for the ladies who created these pages to share them with us!

Never Ending Winter

If you’ve been following my blog for a little while, you’ll know that I love snow. Indeed. I do. I love snow.

Except when the white stuff coming down from the sky doesn’t stay white as soon as it hits the ground. Or when it comes down at a time when my little heart is actually preparing for the sweet time of spring. Like today. I thought, spring’s supposed to be around the corner. But not here. Not today. Today, it’s snowy but not white; it’s just wet and cold. Surely, winter is trying to hold on as long as possible. Brrr!

 

Freebie Friday: Old

Can you tell that I’m working hard at getting caught up on my blogging again? This also means, I managed to get you my latest template, based on my recent layout “Days of Old.”

Comes in a layered psd file. Simply click on the image to download.

I hope you’ll have fun with this one. And since I’ve been playing catch-up these last couple of days (internet the week before was just really really lazy), I just wanted to point out the last two templates I posted as well.

If you haven’t picked these templates up yet, make sure you do so before their links expire.

Now, all I’m left to do is invite you to share links to your finished pages with us here, and finally, Happy Friday, scrappers!

 

PS. For those freebie lovers among you, don’t forget to check the new freebie section over at SSD. Some freebies have been switched out already with new ones. Just sayin’ …

Note:
Please do not re-distribute this template in any way (you may share the link to this post), and when you use this template, please make sure to credit it to Misty Hilltops Designs.

Food Corner: Fried Oyster Mushrooms

They aren’t my favorite food, so I’ve never actually thought of mentioning them on my blog – mushrooms. But as a matter of fact, mushrooms are quite a popular side dish locally. For the dish you see in the picture today, oyster mushrooms were mixed with other mushrooms and vegetables, and fried in oil (as is typical for any dish in China). A yummy addition to any meal – if you like mushrooms that is!
