Layouts #85 and 86

I don't know what I was thinking... Why in the world did I think I could get up early, garage sale all day in the hot sun (finally), and then crop for seven hours??? Well, I did my best. Our garage sale was very successful... but I don't think if I do one again I will go much past noon. No one really shows up after lunch, especially on a nice day. But I am a lot closer to my new lens than I was on Friday...
And after the sale, and after curling up on Haley's couch with the best blanket ever...... I accomplished two layouts, while battling some sun/heat/pomegranate cooler induced illness....

So, these are what I got done last night. The Ride On layout is with the new Bo Bunny Grease Monkey line. It is so perfect... so perfect for these photos. The colors are right, the concept works, and the best part..... I actually have a real gear on the page compliments of Carol's passion for re-purposing. She took apart a Glue Glider refill the other week with the hope of using something from it... well it works here... (Old stuff? The Riff Raff gears were something I bought last summer, and the black brads were borrowed from Haley...)
And the So Pretty layout was one that I had hoped to pump out in 30 minutes so I could head home, but then I got the brainwave to cut the flowers and scallopy edge out with my craft knife. Well, that is never a quick approach. But I love the outcome. And I used stickles on several of the flowers. (Old stuff? the buttons have been around forever, and the ribbon and PDQ chipboard are also from my stash.)

TFL and have a great rest of the weekend!
