Best laid plans .... gone awry

 Sometimes the best plans don't reach the end result that was planned at all.  Connie had a new collection ready to go and then ran into some computer issues that has delayed the release of that collection.  It's worth waiting for though and as soon as Connie can get it into her stores we'll do a full reveal.

I was lucky that we had Spring Break recently because that gave me time to explore my creativity with some of Connie's kits that I had been stockpiling on my EHD.  Here are a few for your weekend inspiration with links to the kits that I used.

Created with Outside the Lines.  The watercolor flower card is one that I created using one of my recent photos of the flowers we have in our front planters. Everything else came from the kit.

I may be slightly obsessed with turning some of my flower photos into watercolor cards.  This layout was also created with Outside the Lines.

Created with #2026 March.  I love this time of year.  We had some really pretty days to go hiking/exploring either at State Parks or Nature Preserves within driving distance of home so we could take part of the day to get out and enjoy the outdoors.  The dogwoods were at their peak and so pretty!

Created with #2025 March.  I also love trying out different filters on my photos.  This one of my husband on one of our hikes fit perfectly with one of my favorite Irish Blessings.

The Spring Scrap-A-Thon at Ginger Scraps is running close to the end.  I didn't make the top level this year but I did manage to finish 10 challenges.  Did you take part in the challenges?  Which one was your favorite?  I loved the ones I was able to complete and stretched my creativity wings a bit.  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you!  I'm going to leave you with this Quick Page Freebie that Theresa made with Outside the Lines.  Enjoy!

I enjoyed getting to get out and take photos of the emerging beauty around me this past week.  Macro photography is something that I'm exploring and one of my photos this week was begging to be used to be made into a watercolor element to go into layout using Connie's Outside the Lines kit.  I think I'm going to create a couple card fronts today with more of the photos I took and have a series ready to leave a few encouragement cards for my co-workers.

Last Look Thursday + FREEBIE

Sorry for the delay in today's post.  I sort of lost track of what day of the week it was.  Today marks the end of last week's new release sales so let's take one more look at the March 2026 Template Bundle and Paint Chips: What's Up Buttercup with some more layout inspiration from Connie's Creative Team.

Paint Chips: What's Up Buttercup is a lovely kit that's begging for some joyful layouts to be made.

There are a couple days left in the March Bake Sale at Ginger Scraps. Have you added #2024 March to your scrapping stash?

#2024 March - Kit | 12x12 Templates | Quick Pages

Are you taking part in the Spring Scrap-A-Thon at Ginger Scraps? I thought I would get more layouts made this week but I've only managed to finish 3 of the challenges so far. I think I'll play around here in a bit after I switch laundry around. Then again part of me wants to go to the garden center and look at plants and that may just win out for now. Who knows? Whatever you decide to do with the rest of your day today, I hope you find joy in the moment. I'm going to leave you with this sweet cluster frame and cluster freebie set from CTM Kelly created with CC Bunnies. Enjoy!
