The Perfect Sky

Hello!

As I sit here trying to figure out what to type, I'm amazed at how far along my kitchen remodel has come!  All the cabinets are in and it looks amazing!  All the fine details are being worked on now.

I haven't had a stove for weeks.  Yup... that's right!  Cooking?  Hmmmmm... what's that?  Hee hee

It might take me awhile to get my cooking skills back into shape!

I am so excited to see my totally new kitchen, which has been long overdue!

And I actually FEEL like and, quite possibly, can't wait to start cooking again!  Whoa!  :)

And while all this stuff is going on... I have to clear off my new craft table and try to work on a few scrappy layouts.  Everything is everywhere... and it's so hard to locate one specific item, but I'm doing it... simply because I have no other choice! 

This layout was completed before we got into the thick of the demolition. 

It's a Song/Lyric Challenge (SLC47) at Soul Scrappers.  I hope you will stop by and check it out!

Here's the lyrics to the song called, "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia.

I thought, I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around and he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry

Well, you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore

There's nothing where he used to lie
The conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light

It crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care, I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can touch, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn

There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on this floor

Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn

It's called "The Perfect Sky," the words I've chosen from the lyrics.

There was always an amazing skyline in Nebraska... I never tired of seeing the beautiful colors!

This sky was seen during a walk in the park with my sister one evening.

Paper: gcd Studios, Prima Flowers & other flowers, Glitter Gems, Ice Stickles, Arrows Die: Tim Holtz, Mists, Sticker Letters: Kaiser Craft.

Sketch: Page Maps

Using the Tim Holtz arrows die I layered various arrows along the left side of the pp.

Then added different size flowers.

The background pp were misted.  I tapped the layout on my craft desk to make the larger mist splatters fun down the page.  I left the stickers within the center of some letters.

A closer look at the flower clusters.  Home made glitter gems were used for the larger flowers.

Stickles was used for the smaller flower centers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  :)
