Layout.


I scrapped one of my rose pictures the other night, just because I couldn't wait any longer. I love Rhonna Farrer's new papers and rub-ons, so I used those. I think they were just made for this picture!

I also made my own printer paper block by printing a poem on a white crackle paper. It's from "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" by Robert Herrick. The opening line, which may or may not be legible on my layout, is "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a'flying; And that same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying."

Which seems like a truthful sentiment, if not perhaps profound...until you read the rest of the poem and see that what's he saying is. "Hey all you young hotties who are saving it--you need to get laid now, 'cause you ain't getting any younger. And by the way, how 'bout it?"

At least that's what I got from it. Heh. I think Herrick was a player.

Hi Janelle -- Janie here, from two peas. (Just joined the bloggers challenge and am having fun checking out everyone's blogs. Just built mine on Tuesday.)
Just wanted to comment on this gorgeous LO -- what beautiful flowers and how talented you are. It really caught my eye, and just wanted to let you know. Have a good day -- Janie (P.S. hope I am doing this right -- it's my first comment on someone else's blog, so if I'm not "within protocol," please educate me :-)
