I have a really good friend, Sue, who is always up for a spontaneous adventure. So when I saw that my all time favorite artist - Van Gogh - had his painting on loan at the Minneapolis Art Institute, I called Sue and off we went, squeezing it in between taxiing kids and running errands. We have so much fun together!
I had to include this most recent excursion in the scrapbook. So here it is:
I used Quick Quotes pattern papers chalking them with Powder Puff ink, TCW stencil with Heidi Swapp gold ink and a Thicker title. The embellishments include, frosted flourish by Quick Quotes, tags by Heidi Swapp and charms by Basic Grey.
This layout is entered in the following challenges:
- Quick Quotes Challenge 59 "Stencils and Ink"
- The "Best Friends" Monday challenge at Simon Says Stamp
- Challenge YOUrself #25 "Anything Goes"
Thanks for stopping by and hope you find some fun adventures this week.
