Challenge #167 week of 20th April 2015

This week, I'm getting all trendy on you. 

Inspired by a recent topic on the Paperclipping Roundtable - episode 243 - (catch the episode here if you haven't already) and then noticing the trend online in the last few weeks, I think we need to talk pineapples!

Yes, you read that correctly! This week, I want you to be inspired by pineapples.

Now, I'm not saying that this is something that I necessarily want to include on many of my layouts as a motif - although I can actually think of several Philippine layouts that could have a pineapple on them without looking out of place! - but I've seen many projects around that have a certain *something* about them. Fun, quirky, summery and über-trendy. And if they're talking fruit on PRT, then there must be something about it!

And then when I saw this layout on Pinterest this morning, I knew that Pineapples had to be the challenge for us this week!

This layout is so much fun on so many levels and that huge stitched pineapple right there in the middle is right up my street! Maybe this could be something I could try lifting and combining with one of those Philippine stories although I'm not sure I have a single fruity pic from my time there!

I've pinned a few pineapple themed items - stamps, dies, layouts, cards, prints - onto the Whimsical Musings Pinterest board if you need a little more inspiration and I'm now on a mission to track down another layout I saw last week before listening to PRT that had me scratching my head as to, "Why?" Now I know why!

Free printable available on the Oh So Lovely blog

Challenge #145 week of 10th November 2014

How do the ideas for these prompts come?
I wish I could say. Serendipity meets senility perhaps in my case!

Since I've retired I have established a few new regular daily routines.
One of those is having a glass of orange juice with my breakfast.
It is delicious & refreshing & I count it as a serving of fruit.
And I've been missing it the past week or two as I forgot to restock.

We have just made another trek down to Shipshewana, Indiana. There is an Amish community there & we stock our freezer with meats that have no hormones, etc. We also stock our pantry with cases of canned spiced peaches & pears.

FRUIT
 (now I'm drooling, lol!)

Fruit pizza

How about this for November?
(adore the gold leaf pears)


This week be inspired by fruit.


This is my most recent page.
You can see my glass of juice there on the table!
I had a little look at some more pages of mine & discovered these:

The Big Apple

"An apple for the teacher"

She is eating applesauce & it's part of the journaling.


Will look for your page this week! Once again, please share your creations over at 
the Whimsical Musings Flickr gallery (here) with the tag WM#145.

Happy scrapping! Leslie
