Weird day

Today was one of those days which seemed to last a really long time, but at the same time I've no idea what I did :s The usual housework, sorting washing, clearing out the garage, tidying, cooking etc, but didnt actually seem to get much done. Ah well.
Yesterday was the opposite, that went SO quick and I managed to get a good amount of crafting done :) The table gifts for a future retreat are now all finished plsu I managed a couple of layouts I can share.
First was for the challenge YOUrself blog challenge. This months was a colour challenge, plus you had to use 'I am' in the title.
I did struggle with this a little until I found a photo from my 30th birthday. My niece had made me a t-shirt with all the things I loved on it. So as well as using that photo I thought I would write all the things I considered myself to be at this age.
I also used some embellishments showing things I liked, such as owls, butterflies, Frozen and My little pony :) Yes I am a big kid lol.
Next was a sketch challenge from Stuck?! sketches. I also broke out this months Counterfeit kit too :)
This wasn't the kind of layout I would usually go for, but loved the result. The photo is of my Gran and kids walking home from school one day. My Gran hates getting her picture taken so I was sneaky and snapped this one with my phone.
Love these little stickers which I think go great with the layout.
Hopefully tomorrow will feel a little more productive :)
