A cropin' I will go, a cropin' I will go...

and I cropin' I went! I had a great time this weekend, even managed to get a couple layouts complete. I'll share these 3 and the rest are for Blue Moon, so stayed tuned for those on Monday's this month!

The Writings on the Wall. This is my oldest, the picture is a couple years old now, but I remember when I bought the transparency, I knew exactly what I wanted to make with it!

Close-up of the letters:

Yup, I used masking tape on it, I really wanted to grunge feel to my layout:

a chipboard star, covered in pattern paper and embellished:

more tape:

Next layout: It's a Boys Life:

This was a fun technique to overlap the stickers and rub-ons:

chipboard gears (I wish I knew where I got these, because I would love more!):

Not sure why this picture turned, you'll have to read it sideways. Love these Little Yellow Bicycle clear journaling tags. I need more!

more gears!
and this layout, thanks to my friend Em-I came up with this! Thank you Em!

cute tags, a little shimmerz mist and a stamp from an old kit:

and my favorite part, the little deer from the Basic Grey pattern paper:

Thanks for looking! I have to work on uploading the BlueMoon layouts, check the design team blog Monday for them starting!

Have a great weekend!

I love all of your layouts, Melanie. I have to say that I am a HUGE fan of the corrugated cardboard, so I especially loved seeing that!
