Meanwhile, I am off today and the sun is shining and it should stay out all day (small wonders LOL). It is also Roland Garros time, one of the four grand slam tennis championships; this one from Paris, France. So I am keeping a keen eye on what is going on there. For the first time in the history of ATP tennis, there is a Canadian in the top ten men's ranking - Milos Raonic from Ontario is No. 8 in the world and safely through to the third round. On the women's side, we are making history as well. Montrealer Genie Bouchard is no. 18 in the world and is also safely through to Round 3. Yay !!
So on to the layout ... Even though this is just the first layout, I already know that I am loving the Scraptastic kit. It made this layout come together much faster but with just as much fun. I did not get the kit to make my scrapping experience faster - I am a slow scrapper and don't mind - I do it for fun and enjoy every second. But I was finding that a lot of my time was spent choosing my supplies, going back and forth, dilly-dallying ... you get the picture LOL. And getting the kit, and then assembling my own add-on was a fun process as well as eliminating much of the dilly-dallying. To see my kit, with the list of supplies I added from my stash, check-out my previous blog post here :

Hereis the layout :
I am really happy with the outcome. I went back into my stash for just a couple of things:
- Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Harlequin
- Tim Holtz Distress ink in Weathered wood. I think this will be my go to ink for this kit. I used for the stenciling but also to ink my edges, for more definition. I am already half way through the second layout and also used this ink for edging.
The story behind this layout: We are still in Romania, still in Brasov as we have been for the last couple of layouts. Every morning, coming out of our pensione, we would turn towards town to go exploring. One morning, after about a week, I decided to turn in the opposite direction. It didn't look as if there was anywhere to go from there, just forest, brush and minimal plant life. But off I went anyway. Well, 2 km later I wound up at this oh so lovely look-out point with the most beautiful views of Brasov and its surroundings. It was evidently well known to all but I since it was full of people - tourists and locals alike. It was a small park, with benches to just sit and contemplate the city. I am so happy I went the "Other" way. A layout, showing the gorgeious view will follow soon and will be the facing page to this one in my album.
As always, thanks for stopping by. Don't hesitate to leave a comment if you have any questions, or just want to say hi! Have a wonderful day and I will be back soon with Layout No. 2 from the Daylight Kit.
