Paper Issues | Saturday Mornings

I was on the Paper Issues blog on Wednesday with a 8.5x11 layout about my favorite Saturday morning ritual as of late. After I make my breakfast and my coffee, I love to turn on the Food Network and watch the Saturday morning cooking shows! I’ve been cooking dinners more lately (my husband Todd is the usual chef at our house) and I’d like to think that I’m learning some cooking skills through the magic of watching other people cook, ha ha.  Well, that and I love food, so I love to see the end result.

My layout is 8.5x11 but I cropped it to 12x12.  The white on the sides are the foam boards that I use to photograph my layouts.  I used mostly papers and embellishments from Crate Paper’s Notes & Things, which I still love and use all the time!  I love the Ephemera Die Cuts and Mixed Tags for layering on my page.

Since I used a woodgrain paper, I thought I would use some wood veneer stars to match the natural feeling of the page.  I added a splatter of ink on the side to carry the wood color onto the white part of my page.

For the bottom of my page I layered a few strips of paper, a wood veneer, a gold star, and a white doily piece to create a crevice for other papers and tags.

What weekend morning rituals do you have?  I love the easy laid back feel of Saturday mornings to just slow down and savor!
