Yearning for Autumn...

as the close of the summer season draws near, (at least for some of you depending of where you live...) i find myself missing and yearning for the autumn colors, falling leaves and the crisp cool air from when i was living in virginia.

 autumn is my favorite season and living in florida is what i miss the most... 

we have a very subtle change in the weather here - mornings and evenings are a bit cooler and sometimes cool enough to open windows or wear a light sweater but not cold enough to cause the chemical reaction which causes leaves to turn.

with so many people from canada and the northern states here during september and october, we have a joke here in miami which says that the only way to tell it's autumn is for when the colors on the license plates change! lol!!

anyway.... i truly look forward to see all the wonderful photos and layouts posted in the galleries during these months.

 and that said, here's this week's freebie:

download here.

take a look at the stunning autumn page sandrine created with it - the photo and the colors are just perfect!

here's my page:

my other layouts for the week:

noticed all the non-white backgrounds on my layouts? 

well, one has to be bold & daring sometimes, right? lol!

have a fabulous week and happy scrapping!

Busy days and a freebie...

yay! i'm finally caught up with bunch of things on my to-do list.

 i hate feeling behind and having to spend time away from creating. i'm hoping things stay quiet for a while so i can focus & do some serious digi-scrapping..... i do need to design because i'm having serious withdrawals symptoms already!! lol!

in between a million things to do and after a couple of mojo-less days, here are my pages from last week:

this week i've created this colorful little freebie - hope you likey! ;)
