Oh my, I am having SO much fun at the May Mayhem event....
Victoria posted the "Tell Me a Scrappy Story" challenge. For the challenge we needed to write an original 500 word story incorporating the names of the scrappy manufacturers that are sold in the serendipity store. {And there are quite a few of them, the list is
HERE}. The first 4 players would receive 5 points.
Well, having dabbled in creative writing a little bit, and always being up for a challenge, I thought I'd give it a try.. so without further ado.. here is my Scrappy Story.
{Disclaimer: while I have actually met a few of the people mentioned in the story, it in no way reflects any actual events, not even remotely {unfortunately!} LOL It is a complete fabrication!}As I rode my
little yellow bicycle down the
Maya Road this lovely
October afternoon, I was taking in the gorgeous views on this very
scenic route, which was a riot of color from the
Autumn Leaves. I was wearing my
little black dress, designed by my friend
Jenni Bowlin, and wearing my
blue moon bead necklace. It was fun to
zig and zag between the leaves, waving at the
sailors,
Rob and Bob, as I passed them.
My tattered angels on the handlebars waved in the breeze, making me laugh.
I was on my way to
Center City, to visit the
Black Market Paper Society on
Bella Boulevard. I was going to meet a lady named
Heidi Grace, who was the best artist
around the block. On the way, I
crossed paths with
7 gypsies, who were happy and dancing in their
fancy pants. They were a lot of fun, and full of
moxxie, and one of the was quite the
chatter box! She told me
piggy tales about about her
Kalaidescope,
mermaid tears, and her friend
Cosmo (the
cricket) who lived in
the Robins's nest - she had QUITE the
creative imagination! She gave me a handmade
memento, a
basic grey jaquard accent design, and she had
adorned
it with a
c-thru window to place a photo, or even some
pressed petals, which would be nice to
Reminisce about
all my memories with my new friends.
Once I got to
Center City, I stopped in the
Paper Salon for a few
Paper Accents, then at the
Paper Company to pick up some
pageframes. I had a lot of
project essentials on my list, all the latest
scrapbook trends, and could see such
luxe designs with
my mind's eye. The art
institute glittered like glass in the sun, and the
brilliance of the
glitz design gave me such a creative
impression. At the
Crafter's Workshop, I saw
Teresa Collins, who showed me some of
Webster's pages, part of the
Imagination Project. Now there is a rare talent. Webster taught me to
Scrap within reach,
tinkering with
ink and paper on
Technique Tuesday. "
Stampendous!" he shouted. "
We R Memory Keepers,
may arts make you happy!"
I finally made it to my appointment, and I saw
Heidi swapp some
grafix with
Lil Davis for a piece of
cherry arte from
Twisted Cherry Designs. "It's done in the
American Traditional Design" she said. (I thought it looked like
3 bugs in a rug myself, and not like cherries at all. )
After shopping, I stopped in at
Darcie's for lunch with
Tim Holtz, Karen Foster, Mark Richards, Anna Griffin, and Melissa Frances. It was fun to have lunch,
making memories with
K and company, especially Tim, who is one of my favorite people. He is a
pioneer, a
ranger, a lot like
Jesse James (except nicer!) and an all around good guy! He likes to share his
crafty secrets on his blog, and adds
timeless touches to all his projects. "
Mari Me, you
sassafrass lass!" he said, as he gave me an
urban lily, which made me the happiest girl in the world. Such
magistical memories! I felt like a
queen (and company) as everyone cheered, and laughed when Mark made a "
Hot off the Press!" comment after Anna asked what was going on.
Unfortunately, then, I woke up. It was just a
chartreuse dream!
I still had to go to my appointment in
Center City, so I dressed and got my bicycle and started down the
Maya Road. Along the way I
crossed paths with
7 gypsies.
"
Deja View!" I thought.
The next layout was done for Wendi's Card to Layout Sketch challenge.
And here is my layout... {yeah, I know, the grass needs to be cut... }
