Let's recap. This is Donna Downey and me. I loved spending the day with her on Saturday. She is funny and so creative and I love her philosophy about being perfect just the way I create. I also love her "trash to treasure" approach to art. It's all about using the stuff you already have laying around and altering it for a new purpose. Erin and I took two classes from her and then headed downtown for some shopping and dinner at Red Robin. Their Blue Ribbon Burger was the perfect end to my perfect day.
Here's a layout I created using the new Grafton line from Scenic Route. It may be the first layout I've created without a picture, but I didn't have one and I felt the story really needed to be told. We were sitting around one Saturday night with our friend Jon and somehow the topic of hot dogs came up. I can still remember the lyrics of the Armour Hot Dog song from childhood. We laughed so hard at the un-"p.c."ness of that ad campaign; it's funny that we didn't think twice about calling kids "fat" and "sissy" back then. Just a glimpse of the way things were.
