I have enjoyed not having to go anywhere for the past couple of days. Tuesday I didn't even get dressed except to put on some soft warm lounging pj's. I spent the day making a few cards and working on my New Zealand scrapbook on MDS. Same thing for Wednesday except I did get dressed in sweats! Don't you love days like that??? I remember when I quit working. At the time, I was not involved in playing bridge, doing cards, etc. I really don't know what I did during the day after quitting work - I think play computer games and read - but I do remember that I wore sweat pants and sweat shirts almost every day. Sonny called them my uniform. I was sorta depressed at the time and missing my job but also enjoying the freedom of being able to do anything I wanted during the day. That probably lasted about 3-4 months before I got a part time job and joined a few groups to do crafts, play bridge, go to coffee's, etc. Now I wonder how I ever had time to work!!
Here is my take on the sketch for MDS Monday.
This week I dug into my pictures from our trip(s) to Hawaii several years ago. I love the bright colors in this layout. I used the kit Paradise Found. Instead of the flag banner that is in the sketch, I decided to create my own lei across the page. I used an alphabet punch for "Hawaii" and paper filled it with the same paper that I used for the background - just using different shades of the orange and yellow at the top of the page.
I hope you will take the time to check out the pages the MDS Monday Design Team made.
Here is the sketch that Cindy challenged us with:
And here is what is included in the Paradise Found kit:

I love the idea of your flower lei, as well as the way you paper filled your letters in the word Hawaii. Super pretty page!
Wow, that is a really great kit you are highlighting! I just love all the yummy colors on your page, which compliment your photos perfectly. Thanks for joining MDS Monday this week.
